Self Harming

[Vulgar]

What do you think about people who cut themselves to make themselves feel better (or not i'm not one to judge)?

Do you think it is is a selfish response or a non-selfish response to the way people think about you?

I think cutting yourself is a very selfish thing in the fact that it will prbably mean that you are hurting the people who know you despite the fact that it may make you feel better.

I'd like to hear peoples opinions... Its not as if its suicide is it.....

edit: wow i just realised i said not to judge and i just did so ignore that :-)

I don't understand the logic... but it seems to be the thing to do during an intense bout of depression.

Suicide scares me, it really does. I know people whove tried, and one succeeded, and it's not pretty, especially for those left behind. It's selfish and cowardly, in my opinion.

Cutting is the queerest thing you can do. Nobody is stupid enough to think that slitting your wrist will result in death, so it's just for attention. I think if you do shit like that you should have your ass kicked so you can get depressed enough to actually kill yourself and rid the world of your nagging.

I might be fairly ignorant, but doesn't most self harm occur in secret rather than in the open which is the logical option if you're looking to seek attention

What if you commit suicide because you're the only one left behind?
Point is, to some, suicide seems the logical option and though you can say they have alot of good in their life and so on, it might not feel like it. Point is life(or death) isn't always logical and the one act in their life can't reflect their whole personality.

Anyway; No matter how screwed up, things can always get better until the day when they can't then you will never need to worry again. ever.

a silent cry for help is still a cry for help

[alas alackaday]

Never really got that saying ,but, my point was that if the ONLY reason for self harm was attention, then wouldn't it be better to draw attention to the fact that you're self harming?

Two kinds of people cut them selves, Suicidals and Attention seekers.

Attention seekers cut themselves multiple times leaving many scars often across the wrist's resulting in clumps of Scarage.

Suicidals only cut themselves once.

If you fail to commit Suicide, you obviously werent trying hard enough, and get put in with the attention seekers.


Sorry if im being insensitive its just how i feel.

friday nights i write emo poetry, listen to depressing music, cry and cut myself...
NOONE UNDERSTANDS MEE!!!(caps needed) you shut up your not my moom

[iha‏teyou]

I don't see how inflicting pain is going to make you feel better, if anyone is dumb enough to do it, I say let em..

[SuperDavidGT]

Suicide might be okay if you're samurai and into that sort of shit, but when it comes to western society, teenagers, and the evil messages of emo punk, it's just not on.

If there was a list of the "five things destroying our youth" emo music will be number two, right after fast food, and right before WoW.

Suicide is for pussies who can't deal with life.

I'd say that society itself is number one. Society itself is what fucks us up.
