Context

Text

You said that you were cutting. You had a problem with cutting and you wore long sleeves for like two weeks. And sunglasses – like cutters are extra sensitive to light, whatever. I don’t think that was true either. [...] There were never any scars after. I mean, not even like a mark. And, more importantly, if you’re a real cutter, you try to hide it. You don’t tell everyone you’ve ever met. I mean maybe you were like giving yourself a papercut here and there just to make it feel true but I don’t think you were like, a cutter cutter.
