Contrary to popular belief it's not always about attention. When I did it 19 years ago, it was a way to focus, forget about what was troubling Me and focus on the here and now. Plus, I might have a slight blood fetish, but mine were always covered and never displayed. My left arm is now sleeved with Ink to hide what I never did for any attention what so ever.
Or for others, like myself, it wasn't for attention, but control. I had so many people causing me pain throughout my day that when I cut, I was finally in charge of the pain and how deep I could hurt myself. Again, mine were hidden, on my upper thighs, stomach and upper arms. Always easily hidden with a t shirt and shorts.
Took the world out of my mouth.. a lot of disorders like are negative to the body are about control.. 1 to you..

Strange. When I want to let out some anger, stress, or others things like that. I go punch some bag, or tree. At least the injuries would render my fist a little stronger next time. Sorry for being presumptuous but for me cutting is the same thing whatever the reason : pussies who can't get a hold of themselves.
Look, I'm not justifying it.. and really how would punching a tree be any different.. break your hand.. feel better? Cut your ARM.. feel better..? And yes I know there are attention shores out there that do it for whatever weird reason they have.. but all I was trying to state is, its all a matter of having some sort of control..as with eating disorders..( in a lot of genuine cases) control plays a major part in how we feel.. look at how many of these people get off getting their nuts kicked by some latexed up girl in heels.. I see that along the same lines just with the opposite desire.. not having control..
yep, but they were done by a professional, I paid for it, I did not have an audience when getting it done and I did not show it off to all and sundry. It is discreetly hidden under clothing and it signifies my family and the code I live by. Why do you ask?
Because many people refer to the feeling they get from tattoos as "addicting." It is pretty much the same feeling with cutting. I have about a dozen tattoos and the feeling I get is similar to the feeling during and after cutting. Now, I'm not saying I am replacing tattoos with cutting, but I am saying the sensation, that elated feeling afterwards, of being happy about what you got done because it means something to you, something deeper than what people see, is eerily similar to the sensation a cutter gets after they cut.
Makeup. It does wonders. Although every now and then I would have a customer ask about the scar and I'd realize that the makeup fell off and I'd make up some cock-and-bull story about a car accident or some shit.
And a weak excuse. 19 years later, and ur still using cutting to get attention. There's nothing you were going through that hundreds of thousands of people have not managed to get through without mutilating themselves.
you pretend like like you're untouchable, but you have your own personal way to handle situations. Unlike some who lash out and resort to hurting or maiming others, as h666 demonstrates, they lash upon themselves. It's not a sign of weakness, just difference. But please feel free to sit upon your Rock of superiority and reign over those lesser than you.
Are you saying it is a brave thing to end your life and leave loved ones in pain and confusion? Is it brave to run from the problem, instead of seeking help or solely sorting it out? Is it brave to take the easy way out? It's not brave, it's selfish and cowardly. The only people who should suicide are pedophiles, rapists and murderers.
It's not brave to end your life, but people who are suicidal have a chemical imbalance at that time. The irony is two people who i knew saw suicidal people as cowards and they killed themselves.
then your friends were in fact cowards, by self admission too. Chemical imbalance is just an excuse. Paedophiles have a chemical imbalance in their brains as well, but they are still filthy perverted cunts and cowards too., it changes nothing.
I didn't say you were cutting now. You're still trying to get attention from the fact that you did. Nobody asked if you ever cut yourself, but you want everyone to know. Maybe some people are fucked in the head, and that's why they do it, but my guess, 90% of the fucks who do it now do it because it fits the image they want to portray, right along with the black clothes and the cookie cutter "hair in the face" hairstyle.
I would agree with most of that. I didn't express that as a look at me I'm a cutter! comment. It was in answer to those asking why. Did someone ask me directly? No, it was an answer to a general question. I have have much worse ways now of seeking attention. 19 years ago, you didn't have sheep in different clothing like we do now. There are idiots who do it strictly for attention to be "in" with the out crowd..they, good Sir, are fucking morons.
Jeeze lay off this guy okay. Just because he cut doesn't mean he's a pussy or an attention whore. I never cut but I had friends who did, two of which committed suicide. I think cutting releases pain that you have deep down. That's how they always described it to me. Thru always tried to hide their scars and got embarrassed when I asked about them. They weren't seeking attention or they would have flaunted their scars. No they were hurt people who had a way of letting that pain out.
In the most basic of terms, it's a way to feel better. And if you felt like total shit every single day and there was only one fucked up thing that made you feel better, would you not do it?
Im with the Captain. It's for attention, pure and simple. Probably starts as curiosity, then leads to addiction to the attention. Why else would be do it where everyone can see it? My theory- These shitty spoiled little middle class attention whore cunts, who have never wanted for anything (that they really needed-ie food shelter) in their entire lives, want people to pity them, as if they been through some shit. Cut yourself to kill the pain? Pain of what? Your parents not buying you expensive enough clothes, or not getting invited to the fucking party at Becky's house? They know SHIT about real pain. I wish they'd end their miserable fucking lives, the goddamn drains.
You don't know the reasons why, so you open your mouth to spew some rhetoric you've heard elsewhere and cast so simple a judgement upon those in shoes you've never wore or a path you haven't walked. instead relying on your own small mind to form an opinion without asking. Very well done.

You must be the expert on "real pain" and attention whores.
Youngest of 3 children of an single alcoholic, drug addicted mother who would bring home any piece of shit who had a gram or two (one of whom molested my oldest sister while my other sister and i were in the room, of course, "mommy" didnt believe us). Being beaten by her pretty much daily until i was 15. Being so poor we had to steal food to eat. Moving from one shitty apartment to another, from one town to he next over 20 times before I was 13 because she would snort/smoke/drink the rent money. Spending my life between 17 and 21 in the SC department of corrections, not juvenile jail, Adult corrections. Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty familiar with pain, and I know when you are REALLY hurting, the last thing you want is more pain. Never once did I even contemplate "self harming". Every person I've ever known of who does that shit had it made compared to most. It's no different than a toddler holding its breath until they get a cookie. It's a lame ass emo temper tantrum. It's ridiculous, idiotic, and for attention
Oh really, well everyone I know or have met that cuts,doesn't seek attention, hides their scars, have been molested, beaten, raped, or gone through some serious shit. They don't tell anyone about the fucked up things they've been through. Its a pain you can control, to overcome the pain you couldn't. So the fact that you are sitting there ranting about what happened to you, oh, pity me, makes you an ATTENTION WHORE! Please, do have a nice evening.
Didn't you just post this -"You're still trying to get attention from the fact that you did. Nobody asked if you ever cut yourself, but you want everyone to know." Who's looking for attention now?
Its a release. Sometimes when my anxiety would build up, I could only release it by cutting. Most cutters do it where people can't see it. Now I just get tattooed or pierced and it gives me the same release.

My release always stuck the pages of Hustler together. To each his own, though.
Anxiety release yes, but there's healthier forms of release. Though I suppose when your mind is clouded in the moment nothing else is clear. Inks an interesting way of accomplishing that, do you keep The piercing or is it a spur of the moment than get another later kinda thing?
most of the time its because they've seen others doing it so they figure, why not try it and see if it works? the thing is that cutting is actually almost like a drug, when you cut, your body releases very addicting "chemicals" and it gives you sort of a rush, just like a drug....which is why some people cannot stop once they start

I liked the pain. It made me feel better. Plus it's better than feeling nothing. :3
There's basically two reasons I have found. First you find comfort making your body look the way it feels on the inside. Second, the adrenaline rush is more addictive than meth. I think most cutters actually try to hide the evidence.
Yes. That's what I meant. I suppose there are plenty of self pitying emo kids doing it for damatic reactions.

They are troubled people. It's hard for some one like us to understand. But only they know why they do it. I dont agree with it but maybe they feel empty inside and by cutting or hurting themselves they feel pain, which makes them feel something other than emptiness. Also this draws attention to them. It's not good attention but hey someone noticed for once
If you're too weak to handle life, without cutting yourself to get attention, then why not cut a pussy in your wrist to show the world what you truly are.
This guy was on a tv show recently. It was filmed in the UK, aired on channel 4, called lifers and is about people in prison ( I guess the title gives that away though). The man featured in the pic claimed to have a piece of a plastic fork still stuck inside his arm.
dude get a life...seriously? theres people out there doing the impossible to save their arms due to accidents or infecctions and these kind of people hurt them cant understand and never will
I agree man. Weak minded people who get satisfaction from hurting themselves and getting attention from it. That's all there is to it, no justification that makes sense besides them wanting people to feel sorry for them or some shit.
The science to this is that the brain hasn't got a way to ease emotional pain, it can only ease physical pain by release of endorphines. By self harming it gives the person the "pain killer" effect they need for the emotional distress they are in. And yeah that rush of endorphines can become addictive. Realistically, it's a coping method that's a crutch; it's no different from going and hitting someone/something, going out and getting drunk/high or getting stoned. It's all a way of dealing with emotional distress, just some of those ways are socially acceptable and others aren't.

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself" D. H. Lawrence if you cut yourself for whatever reason you are weak, there is no justification.
Well, yes, it probably is. If you get another parrot, it may be less sad. If you pay it more attention it may be less sad too...animals have baser, less complex needs to humans. They don't really compare; one needs attention, the other wants it
I tried to dumb it down for you because you don't seem to be able to understand basic human emotions. But once again you totally missed the point. It's not for attention.
There is a difference between something committing an action to cope because they are lonely and doing it for attention. Your views on this subject are that of an idiot.
My views are from losing a close family member. He was selfish in life and an attention seeker. He cut himself to, but not for sadness. Now I live with it everyday. What you think of my views bothers me fuck all. What bothers me is that you don't see the idiocy and pain surrounding suicide and the pointlessness if mangling your skin in a non-beautification manner. Look at the ugly mess in OP's post, ffs.
You should just hurt or punish other people if your that close to the edge of sanity..."cutting equals control"?quite the contrary.its showing that other people are in control without even being present...i would burn myself as a kid but then i turned 13 and realized how stupid it was ...but some people are just plain stupid thier whole life.
To add.... Click on my profile. Look at my pics. Those r actual pics of me they aren't an avatar or some other totally awesome broad that's me. Now a couple questions. Can u tell that I'm in pain? Can u tell that I cut myself? I didn't think so. If u who say that its weak and a cop out and ppl are just looking for attention when they do that then we should all just revert back to being one cell organisms. bcuz ur obviously not using that thing that weighs ur fuckin head down. There isn't just one side to everything. I agree that there r a lot of stupid ass lil punks out there that do it bcuz they think its fuckin cool. But the ppl who really do it have a diff agenda its a way to cope with pain that was inflicted upon them in whatever way they experienced it. I'm sorry that I'm so weak in ur eyes and that I was never given the tools to cope with the pain that I had to grow up with.
