Summary

This quote highlights the use of self-inflicted pain as a way to conceal one's shame. By comparing the act to drawing a violin bow over the skin, it implies that the pain is deeply personal and hidden from the world. The speaker feels that their shame is too painful and private to be exposed, and therefore resorts to physically experiencing their emotions in an unseen manner. This quote sheds light on the complex and often silent struggles individuals face while grappling with their inner turmoil.
