Felice Fawn

Okay, stop. I'm not protecting her or her behaviour in general, she IS an attention whore, but I'm showing my scars too so I feel awful when you say this way she's glamorizing self harm and only because she shows them she's proud of them? No. It took me almost 10 years to be this open about my struggles. And I'm not proud of my scars. But I'm proud of the fact that I'm able to be this open by now. I still hate people seeing them, however I show them because it is part of the healing process. And there simply is no way to go this long without people noticing anyway.

It's one thing to live your daily life with scars in the open (as I, my boyfriend and certainly many girls here do), and another thing to say you don't glamorise self harm and eating disorders, yet post pictures of yourself that are ridiculously photoshopped on the face but not on the arms, and have your body showing so you can look as thin as possible. She says she doesn't want to trigger people, yet continuously poses to make herself look even thinner than she is.
If they were just candid pictures where you could see her cuts I wouldn't think it was attention-seeking, it's the fact that she is obviously flaunting how sick she is. She could have just taken a picture of the bodysuit on the hanger, or a quick webcam pic. But she had to get the photoshop out and the ridiculous poses. As @Allie said she's flaunting her disorder and really shouldn't because it gives people the wrong idea about mental health issues.
By no means should I think she should hide her recovery completely, but she should just have a bit of class about it.

I am so, so sorry that I offended you! I also used to self-harm and I made a lot of effort to remove my scars (months and months of using different creams since I don't have the money for laser), so I only thought about Felice's picture from that perspective. Now that you've said this, I see it and while I still don't think Felice is a nice person in any way, I am no longer judging this concrete action.

Also, congrats for getting over your issues and gaining a healthy perspective on them. It's hard, hard work and yeah, you should be very proud. :kiss:

I'm with you in this one. What I believe the point is here though is that she Photoshops everything but that, but as you said, why should she? If she has accepted them and does not mind people noticing them, I feel OK with that. Yes, she is still an attention seeking whore.
I struggle with self harm and I wish I could accept my scars more than I do, but the truth is that I don't talk about it with anyone, lie about my scars over and over again and have never accepted that I cut to anyone who has pointed my scars out in my life, so I know what you mean.
I'll never be proud of them but they are part of me now.
 
we are twins living in separate countries. :kiss:

Can I join this?

More seriously, I understand a part her whole "I don't want to hide my scars anymoe", I wish I could do that, not being ashamed of my struggles. They make me feel like I'm not normal. She want to feel beautiful, even if she is sick. It is too bad that the only way she can archieve this is to glamorize her sickness.

At first, I feel you and I'm proud and glad that you are so strong to fight battles like that. I know how it feels.
But like the others said, it's not about having scars and just be open about it. But what she does is triggering people, showing off her scars like "OMG I'm so sick, look at me" and glamourizing it.

Of course you can show your scars, I BEG you to show your scars and don't let it make you feel ashamed or something like that. But that what she does, showing off her selfharm and eating disorder like some kind of nice accessory, is just unacceptable and terrible.

Much love to you, dear!

i absolutely agree with you. it's totally obvious that besides being anorexic she has a massive, narcistic, attention-getting-disorder. i feel super offended and triggered by everything she does. she is not a role model for anything. not for modeling, not for recovery or anything else. actually exposing oneself to that extreme is poison for people with narcistic disorders and ed's- esspecially for those who attempt to recover allegedly. it's really ridiculous.

regarding the scars: everybody, like @in shambles, who dares to show them and stops hiding in shame for living a happier life in awareness of their darker times and places should be proud. you're very brave and you're doing the right thing imo. i admire you :kiss: !

felice instead shows her scars bc they make her special. that's all she fucking cares about. period.

:luv: you for this. And the reason she feels a need to glamourize her anorexia is because she has nothing else to show. She's a model/photographer/web designer/blah blah blah but at the end of the day, she jumps from profession to profession within 3 minutes, and she's not accomplished or truly skilled at anything. I mean, how long did her "I'm a musician" phase last? 1-2 weeks?

More dramatization = more page views = more ad revenue, I guess. She's shameless in that sense.
 
Thanks for the link!

But whoever wrote that article thinks they are way funnier than they really are... the article wasn't the least bit funny. Kind of sad, especially since it seems like this Felice gal has serious mental illness!

Thats just the whole Encyclopedia Dramatica thing. Plus gore. Don't go on the "Offended?" page. Srsly.

oh my fucking god what the actual fuck

gonna go throw up forever now.
 
Shit just got reaaaaalllll weird.

I just wanted to say I loved her long dark hair.

But now...whaddafuck
 
I told everyone don't go there :run:
I have a really tough disposition with gross or gory things, but not animal cruelty and there's some of that on there too. Fuck that.

Thanks for the warning @SugarKane! As for animal cruelty, I cannot bear to think about it, let alone see it. So I won't go to the page.

super late, but yes please do join :highfive:
people have different ways to cope with their past, and it is even harder when you don't know for sure that it is in the past for good.
Either way, I really don't see myself ever talking about my scars if Its not a lie, or without being ashamed, just like you. You are so right, she chooses to glamorize her sickness and I believe it's a shame because she could find other ways to deal with it considering she is somewhat of a public figure, but I cannot condemn her for being able to embrace her scars.
 
Well, now that you said that, obviously I had to look. It's like a big red flashing button that says "do not press" - had to press it :run:

Thankfully, I have a strong stomach ;)

I know, I realised after that post that it was a troll move to do that, but I left it there because I'm kind of a troll (but a nice one hence why I explained why not to look on my following post) :run:
 
girls, what are you talking about? can't the link to the "offended?" site? what is it about? not sure if i wanna go there...

On Encyclopedia dramatica occasionally when they say something really shocking they'll say "offended?" and if you click on that it takes you to a page full of disgusting photos and videos (i.e gore, gross porn, animal cruelty, etc). I didn't link it just posted a warning because it is gross and wouldnt want anyone to accidentally find it.
