im pretty sure anyone who self harms is only looking for attention. especially on your arm, why the fuck not on your leg? nobody will see it?

I want to hurt myself. Duh.

>>689879836
Honestly it's so stupid. The amount of people that I've asked and they have responded back with "it takes away the pain" is actually fucking embarrassing. It literally gives you pain.

>>689879934
Yeah attention, which shows you're a needy moron.

>>689879645
The closest thing to self harm I've ever done was that autistic abc challenge, I was 12 and wanted to be edgy

>>689879645
feels good

>>689879645

Sometimes it's about attention, but sometimes it's just an outlet i guess like the pain makes you forget about whatever is bothering you for the moment. I agree it's fucking stupid and if you do it for attention you can fuck off. But just like taking drugs when you feel like shit i think it can be an outlet for some people.

>>689880044
I don't deny that

Cutting relieves endorphins and endorphins relieve pain. It's just as easy as taking pills => getting high => forget pain. That's the theoretical reasoning behind it. Of course the logical thing to do is go to a friend or a doctor to help you with your mental state. If anyone here is depressed, hang in there. Lots of people love you!

>>689879934
I know someone who has resorted to cutting her legs for the longest time. Has schizophrenia and couldn't cope with it sometimes, told me she'd cut in the shower and that it gave her a feeling of control over herself again.

its sort of a substitution of emotional pain. Emotional pain is hard to deal with so cutters cause physical pain to personify their emotional pain

>>689880167
Drugs is so much different. People take drugs for enjoyment where as people cut themselves because they are edgy dickheads hur durh i am depressed

>>689879645
Endorphins it releases.
It's also a control thing, for some.

adrenalin rush

>>689880230
Yeah that's the main reason

>>689879645
simplefag, brain sends out endorphin's in reaction to physical pain, which brings relief to mental pain also, please educate yourself, lurk some more.

Maybe they do it to relieve pain but they're also huge attention seekers...

It doesnt take away pain is gives pain obviously but for me its kind of like getting high. The light-headed rush I get from cutting is the practically the same if not better than getting high.
>inb4 i bet you do it on your arms like a faggot for attention
which is the exact reason why i cut on my legs/upper thighs so no one sees even if I'm wearing boxers around someone

Well sometimes they just don't want to heal themselves. It's kind of an Eros & Thanatos thing, where they seek pleasure in pain. Depression is not easy to explain and to have a complete tunnel vision for it doesn't help them in any way.

There are two reasons and they overlap.
1. For attention. People experiencig emotional stress often want help but for one reason or another feel unable to ask for it, demonstrating a need for help with something like visible harm is a way around this.

2. Physical pain is easier to handle than emotional pain. Some people who are suffering emotional stress they cant deal with find that it can be "overridden" so to speak by replacing it with some other kind of stimulus, be it physical pain or another form of emotional pain. There are lots of different ways people try to do this, hurting themselves, undereating ,overeating, damaging their appearance, not being hygenic etc. The goal is always to replace a stress that cant be dealt with with a stress that can

Psychologyfag here. It takes whatever invisible, emotional problem a person is dealing with and makes it a physical problem that can be seen and dealt with. Then it can become a habit/addiction, and even when it's not helping anymore and the cutter doesn't get the comfort or rush, it's just simply a habit and the thought "Why not?" occurs. It's just like any other habit a person develops over their lifetime, and it becomes hard to break even when there's no real reason for someone to keep doing it.

>>689879645
it is done 100% for attention and so the person doing it can feel "deep"

>>689881235
There's just no discussing with your kind of people. Your rebuttals are simple sophisms and you make simple minded suggestions.
It's your opinion of course but it's a poorly constructed one at that.

Its dumb when people do little superficial cuts in exposed places for attention, some people do it in places where it won't be seen and those are the people with actual issues and not faggot attention seekers

Self harm cuts hurt, if they're on your legs they're gonna hurt everytime you walk.

And people can wear sleeves to cover the cuts, you know?

>>689879645

It's mostly about knowing you have the ability to destroy your body if you want. Same for anorexia, you know you have control. It's because of mental illness that makes you feel out of control

>>689881856
Or if they are near a sweaty place sting

>>689879934
You know its more common for people to hide self harm than to show it right?

I use to it a lot and most of the time is when I was drunk but I just liked it, burning yourself feels better almost feels like an orgasm

the entire concept of self harm is dumb. U cut to feel better, but then feel worse after when ur arm/leg is fucked full of visible scars which leads to more appearance issues. As i mentioned, my friend had confidence issues, bipolar, thinks she isnt attractive with scars. Well no fucking shit sherlock

>>689879934
The reson people talk about the attention seekers more is because they want attention, most self harming people keep it secret hence you wouldnt know..

>>689879645
what if you have a disease or something that makes it so you don't physically feel things sometimes and so to test if you are feeling things right now.

>>689879645
People want help and are too afraid to ask.
>inb4 " fucking pussies"

Personally I got started because it was a blood-drinking fetish, but then I just kept going. Anyway, the combination of the pain and watching the ugliness of the criss-crossed patterns is satisfying and distracts from other things. Stopped years ago but that's what it was about. I wouldn't call it a good reason; it's a maladaptive coping strategy. Better than shooting up in a dumpster.

>>689879982
i cut off 4 of my fingers and it takes away the pain

When i was little, there was an anime i loved
So i cut the name of the anime into my arm to see if i could make it "leave a mark"

I still have cory in the house engraved in my arm to this day

There isn't much logic and reasoning behind it. It is an impulsive action. You do it because you want to do it. Your mind is not really capable of planning, analyzing things, making decisions, if you are severely depressed, anxious etc.

Self punishment, testing of ones limits, religious/cultural rituals,sexual gratification, attention seeking behavior, there's a host of reasons for self-harm. Are you stupid?

I have cuts in my leg but they don't hurt when i walk however it hurts more than wrists

cutting yourself has fewer long term repercussions as drug use, only thing is that it causes permanent mutilation

Release of powerful hormones and neurotransmitters from the adrenal glands and pituitary gland. /thread.

>>689883516
here is a dumb one, "testing your immunological system"

My cousin used to cut the shit out of her arms and legs. Literally anything that went wrong for her she would cut but it was all for attention. She used to threaten her mum that if she went to work and left her in the house alone she would cut to stop her from leaving (she was 17 years old at the time). 99% of the time it's for attention imo

personally I wear long sleeves all the time, yes, but I have like 5 or 6 huge scars down my upper arm as well as lots of smaller ones on my forearms, but back when I only cut on my forearms it was easy enough to cross arms all the time and not have it show, because there were times when I was expected to wear a dress or swimsuit or whatever

Nope.

I did it because I hate myself and want to suffer. Nobody sees, I take care to cover it. If that means wearing winter clothes on a hot day then so be it, it adds to the discomfort. I deserve to suffer.

I don't really like talking to people because I'm a loner autist, but yes I know. I still cut occasionally because it relaxes me I guess and it's fun, but only like 2-3 times per year now. It's more exciting if I wait a long time. I have cut and burned myself ever since I was 12 and stopped for years at a time before but it's the only thing that gives me that nice feeling. I have tried drugs before but I don't care for them.

The abc challenge is basically you get your nails and you rub it hard on the back of your hand. The 'ABC' part is you have to recite the alphabet while doing it. This causes a painful rash and is really pointless. It's just a stupid kids game and I remember doing it years ago in year seven

You're going to make it /b/ro, how ever bad things seem you will redeem. If you truly want to punish yourself don't be a fag - turn that self-torment into mad gainz. You will be surprised by how quickly your self-esteem and general happiness increases, others will treat you better and you will generally improve your life. It will be hard to get there, but you deserve to suffer, right? Hit the gym, and hit it hard. Whenever you think 'I don't feel like it today' think 'No. I deserve this. I'm going to punish my weak ass'.

I got over it fairly soon, after I got drunk and cut my are so that I needed stitches and supposedly observation for 72 hours.

I could still do it if I wanted to, but I don't want to stain my pants with blood so I've gotten further into sexual masochism and I yell at people more.

got something similiar going on.
Starts by being in deep thoughts about something. At some point the mind goes blank and i suddenly jolt awake with several minutes having past and all the while i have been scratching myself.
Resulting in wounds 1-2 fingers wide, some inches long and down to the flesh deep.

Usually i simply take care of the bleeding and let it rest.

It is an intense sensory experience and thus it diverts your attention away from anxiety and unnecessary worries. at least for the moment. it is also a form of mind over body thing i think, since it is a most basic instict to try and not harm yourself. Overcoming that gives you a sense of self-control.

>>689879645
the brains response to the pain cancels out depression and does make you feel good
