What do people have against people who cut themselves?
Question:
Answers:
You know what? I have absolutely nothing against it because I've had an eating disorder for 6 years, and as I understand, that goes hand in hand with cutting. Although I've never cut, I understand it's simply a coping mechanism, and we all need to cope. People fear what they don't understand. I've done my research on cutting, and I now have respect for those who cut, because I understand why they do it, and where they're coming from. The reason people are jerks about it is because, frankly, they're stupid. They refuse to learn anything about it, and make their own judgmental, and FALSE assumptions.
PS: It's NOT for attention. That's a HUGE misconception. People cut, because when they cut themselves endorphins are released into the body creating a feeling of euphoria. They do it for the thrill or "escape", just like your average smoker, or drug addict. PLEASE do your research before speaking out about this.

It's not that people have something against people who cut themselves, but come on.
I mean, to the average person, a person who cuts themself is only doing it for attention because it's a cry for help. To the average person, they don't see why you can't just say, "I need help" instead of cutting yourself and then wondering why people are staring at you. And then of course, you ask a question like that and can't deal with the answers.
So it's not that people necessarily don't care, it's just that they know you need help and they know that you know you need help and they want you to get it and get it over with or just do whatever it is you are gonna do.
I don't think people have anything against people who cut themselves. Its more likely they just don't understand. Compassionate knowledgeable people do not have any problems with you cutting yourself. It is the fact that it is a mental illness and it needs to be controlled. Yes, people online will be total jerks. But, that should not bother you.
You are looking for someone to say it alright it is normal. Hun, it is in no way normal or alright to do it. Seek help. Well, some people are just mean, that's why. I wouldn't take it too personally. Or maybe they just don't understand the reasons why someone would do such a thing, and are taking out their frustrations on you. My brother used to do it for awhile - we were younger and going through a really stressful time. Creating physical pain is often used as a distraction to dull emotional pain. My brother regrets it, and will always have the scars to remind himself of that dark time. I urge you to find some help if you engage in this destructive behaviour, to find the source of the emotional pain that's causing this. Physically scarring yourself will just create more problems than it solves.
