What is your opinion about ppl that do self harm? (Pic is male)

attention.

Its ridiculous. Why would anyone do it?! Just stupid, there is other ways to sort your problems out rather than hurting yourself, it wont change anything.

@GuiLépine#28 I guess..

@GuiLépine#28 I know right! I think people only do it and go emo just to get attention (and believe me it does get you attention). Because why else would they do it? It's not actually going to make anything better unless people pay attention to them. They are hurting themselves for attention. So ignore them.

Wiki quote: Endorphins work primarily pain suppression, but also provide a sense of happiness or euphoria, as the "runners high" in endurance athletes. The intoxication that can occur after a physical effort is partly caused by the release of endorphins. Opium and heroin work on the same receptors as endorphins. The taste experience when sugars, fats, chillies and also chocolate produces endorphins in the body. Also does this addictive substance very active in self-injury (self-mutilation) Seems to help them though. Makes them feel happy. U can ask ask, why not just eat chocotate then, but it often comes allong with a lot of self hate n sometimes even eating disorder. Might be wondering why I clicked the yellow one. I clicked it for both reasons. I don't want to pull the attention to me, but to the subject. I want ppl to think about more than just 'cute Cats' and 'video games'... I don't get why it's such a taboo anyway.

i hate it when people do that, they just want attention

@M_Hassen exactly! Its ridiculous.

@GuiLépine#28 & @M_Hassen thanks for sharing your opinions on this ;)

Wow! Fuck all you. I cut because I'm hurting inside! I cut because I can't help it!

@aly101 <3

@aly101 it's only our opinion jeez.

@aly101 why do I feel the need to cut ur self when ur sad or whatever....? :|

@M_Hassen I don't think anybody really knows why they start, but ppl keep doing it because it works. The body instantly makes endorphins which make u feel better. Endorphins are addictive. 'Motivation' (don't know if that's good English) to cut can lay in a lot of couses. I c that in a lot of cases there is trauma involved. Bullying, abbuse, depression, and whatever can get to you. Ppl cut to: forget, to feel, to not feel, to relax, to feel controle over something, or whatever other reason they can have. aly101 would you please tell how experience it? I'm with ya <3

@aly101 you can help it. Its sociological.

@GuiLépine#28 offcourse you can help it, but its damned hard ;)

@Qwibes you struggle with this :( it's sad how people do that :(

There was a question mark there, I was asking, I don't agree with cutting yourself but I think people are too hard on people who have gotten involved, it can be addicting and most people don't start on a good happy day, most likely they started bc they were struggling over something :(

@Drak attack true N offcourse i don't agree with it myself, but when u have ppl supporting u it gets a lil less hard to stop. :)

couse i am trying to stop btw, but kinda going to a tough time right now, so i'm hoping for the summer holyday :)

the thing is... The most reactions are about cutting. Just the subject became that. While i chose my words carefully when i wrote the question. PEOPLE that do/use SELF HARM. I don't get why ppl don't understand that cutting isn't a personality :p Plus that self harm is more than just cutting, however most ppl cut.

well that is what I suspected that you were struggling with something, I just don't Ike the idea of you hurting yourself :( I can't believe people are so mean about it, I don't think anyone loves cutting :(

I used to joke about things like that and think that people only did it for attention but now I'm more sympathetic, I wish I could help, i hope you feel better so you stop soon

everybody jokes about it, my boyfriend and i do ;p haha, but our jokes are a lil different than from others. Like, when ur gonna use a knive to open a sealed box, 'be carefull not to cut urself honey! :D' It's not something to make fun of, but its ok to joke about ;) And thanks, means a lot to me ;)

awe well I hope it all works out lol it's good to see you keep smiling :)

lol smiling is healthy and makes this world a better place! ;)

It's not for attention. Sometimes I feel this tension that has to be released and I have found that cutting works. A few months ago, I started cutting, but bottled up those emotions. But in the past week they've been rushing back. And Im ashamed. One of my friends today noticed my cuts, I was so embarrassed...I panicked and told her that a doorframe cut my wrist, even though it seems she half-believed me. Do I think some do it just for attention? Yes!!! Many do. But not every cutter is just doing it as a cry for attention.

@crazahunicorn thanks for sharing <3 N i agree some ppl do want attention, a girl i tried to help once, she 'carved' in her arm, she wrote the word 'HELP' in her arm.... And then sent a pic to me, that's asking for attention

@Qwibes Yeah, that was for attention. But cutters are completely misunderstood. Today, a guy broke up with a girl because she cut herself. (He thought that he obviously wasn't good enough for her if she kept cutting herself.) Although, this probably made the situation worse.

@crazahunicorn very true

@crazahunicorn I'm actually quite afraid of the opposite happening to me... I'm afraid my bf wouldn't just break up with me if i'd loose it or something, cuz he KNOWS it'd probably get worse.... Makes me feel like a bother :p

everyone who says attention can go fuck themselves yes there are some who are doing it for attention but some its how the release emotion (pain is just fear leaving the body) everyone has a reason!!!

@bunnybugg yes, and there are a lot of reasons... I like ur thought about 'pain is just fear leaving the body' <3

Wow hope you can find another release instead of self harm... Good luck to you..
