Why do people criticize cutters?

Question:

People write questions about cutting on here, and they're called crazy, stupid, and blah blah blah. And then you expect them to get help? I just don't understand. Yes, I think cutting is stupid, but just because someone does it doesn't make that person stupid. It just means they do stupid things. Sometimes people need to be told that what they're doing is stupid. But in a different way than "Hey you're stupid" How will that make them feel about getting help? "Everyone will think I'm crazy, I'll get locked up, They'll take me away, they won't believe me" these are the things that go through their heads. Why do people do that to other people? I don't see the fun or thrill in it.

Answers:
Some people criticize what they don't understand, which is a person's feelings when they do it, I suppose. Others are angry when people do things that are unhealthy. Some people are just plain stupid and criticize everything.

Other Answers:
You need to get help.

I dont care what people say about cutters. I just cut deeper. I do agree with you, these people who do this need help, it is up to those close to them to say hey i care about you BUT i think you have an illness i would like to come with you to talk to a doctor for some advice.

Some people are just plain bad people, I guess. I guess they get a thrill out of finding someone who they think is already hurting and making them hurt worse. I think it's kind of like people who torture animals or that kind of thing.

I agree with you. Cutting is a serious problem, and people who cut do need help. Chances are, if they are asking questions here, then they are in their own way reaching out for help, so it's smart to not criticize.especially when you don't understand! Cutting is a compulsion. I cut. I am a Teacher with a bachelors degree. I am not stupid. Nurse in emergency room told me next time cut in "this" direction. Who is the sane person in my situation? Some people say they cut but they don't cut to bleed. They just want the attention of pity.

I totally agree with you.. i mean some people never stop.. until it doesnt hurt anymore.. i think if people weren't assholes these days and treat other people shitty.. then there wont be as much cutters as we have now.
and some of us do need help about it.
