I lowkey don't get it, i mean i don't necessarily feel sad or anything or even feel like i need to cut, i lowkey just do it to do it, i like the way i can feel my skin ripping from vibration from the blade i'm using, i love the small sound i hear of my skin ripping, and i love to see the blood flow out of my cuts. Along with i love the stinging sensation after when they're healing and i touch them through my clothes, it's almost comforting in a way but idek if i have a reason to be doing it, most the time i think i do it for the scars that come after yk, or what if it's just for attention?? idek atp, i feel like i have a reason just that i'm unaware of said reason, does anyone else feel like this?? Like they just feel the need to cut without a particular reason, you feel fine and everything but you just want to cut. or is it just me
Rant >:p [tw: sh talk]

Youre not alone. I think a lot of people feel that way but dont know how to put it into words. Sometimes its not even about being sad but more like wanting to feel something or to remind yourself youre still here. The sound, sting and the scars can become a weird form of comfort even if you dont fully understand why.
Know you honestly explained that better than i ever could, i feel like i deep down always know the answer but my mind never lets me believe it, but yeah it has just grown to become and type of comfort in a way, and i never knew what the comfort was for but i think i do now ... theres so many times i just don't feel real, like nothings real, or if i'm even here yk, i guess i do it in a way of making sure i'm still here physically and that i can still feel cause sometimes i just feel numb to everything

Yeah, i get that. Sometimes everything just feels numb or fake, like youre not really there. I can see why youd want something physical to remind you youre still real and can feel. Pain kind of breaks through that numbness, even if it sucks. But remember there are always better ways to deal with that numbness/emotions that dont include self harm

tbh there's this stereotype in media of the "depressed teen who cuts themselves because they're sad" or "it's super emotional, and you're crying and screaming" n shit. none of it is true at all. what you feel is totally normal, sh (like other forms of addiction) is comforting. like most behavioural addictions (meaning things that aren't "entering" the body - like drugs) it's not really about the emotions, it's just about the feeling of doing it.
THANK YOU !!!<33 for like so long i've felt crossed between, oh this is normal to feel like this i'm not always gonna be sad when i do this, and oh i'm a fucking attention seeker cause i'm just doing this cause why not ... finally someone says it T.T
It's like i've always known the answer but my mind would not let me believe it unless it was told to me, and any time i tried to talk to like people i trust about it, it's always just to immediate attention and concern because i sh, like ok yes we've BEEN knew this please shtfu i love you and all but now is not the time T.T

yeah it's really hard to talk about sh to most people beacuse they immediately think it's an indication of suicidal ideation. For some it is, for others it's just become a part of a plethora of harmful behaviours they engage in.. I mean smoking is also sh, and yet no one really has the same reaction.
Honestly, the term "attention seeker" is such a joke imo. I think if you're HURTING yourself, in any way, it's self harm, and even if you were doing it to get noticed that's a totally normal reason to sh. In fact, it's why MOST PEOPLE DO IT. idk online spaces can be so fucking toxic for no reason .. but yeh no it's normal!
