Why do people always think cutting is a scuicide attemp or attention getting plan??
Question:
Answers:
most people associate it with suicide because a lot of people only know cutting as slitting your wrists, the maximum form of cutting on the wrists. most people cant understand how hard it actually is to do that (at ur wrists u hav tendons to go through) and that a lot of cutters dont even go that deep. also, cutting anywhere else is seen as a baby step towards slitting your wrists since it isnt as severe and as common. personally i dont want to stop or get caught so i cut on my thighs or ribs, it hurts more and gives a better after effect (i can actually feel something!) and since no one sees no one thinks it just attention getting. but when i used to cut on my wrists i did it and didnt let anyone see, if sumeone is seeing and saying things to u then maybe u need to hide it better. i like the feelings i get, becuz i get to feel sumthing rather than nuthing, but if u want to continue cutting and not get sent away i would suggest hiding it better. people cant understand the feelings that mean cutting without suicide and they cant comprehend wanting to cut so they throw it into a suicide attempt, and letting people see can b a call for attention and u dont realize it now. so hide it or consider stopping, but i cant reach since i cut. i just advise u to hide it better and no one will b able to say anything.
b'cause usually .it is.or they try to say it makes them feel better..that's crazy!time to see a counselor...
Ask your self why you like it.
Is it worth hurting yourself?? -- Are you loosing alot of blood that your body isn't replenishing fast enough? ARe you taking precautions against infections?
Drug addicts like drugs, thats why they hurt them selves-- but is it worth slowly killing themselves??
I can't tell you to stop-- but please think about it thouroughly before you leave marks that will be with you forever.
Good Luck
most people do not understand cutting and think its its a suicide attempt
I don't.. unless they cut vertical up the inner wrist
cutting may be a sign of depression. i would stop if i were you and find some one to talk to.
People think that cutting is just to get attention in large part because for some people it really is just to get attention, and those are the people who tend to draw attention to their cutting.
People associate it with suicide because 1) suicide is the most well known reason to hurt yourself, and the easiest for people to understand, and 2) cutting is often associated with some of the same problems that can eventually lead to suicide.
Most people who don't cut don't understand how cutting yourself and possibly make you feel better, so they assume it's something else. People can understand how someone might hurt themself for attention, or even that someone might want to kill themself, so they assume it's that instead of what it really is.
what i do is tell them to get the **** away that i dont need any help.it feels good so i do it.i get i rush and feel satisfiend or feel a lot beter than what i felt before
i used to cut my wrist when i was 15 or 16, and I had allot of emotional problems most people that cut on thereself had some underlying problems that need to be worked on. Its definetly not normal for someone to do just because they like it. It is definetley a cry for help even know you don't think it is, it is! I'm 26 now and i was put away for 8months because of this behavior and it was the best thing that happened to me. I look back now and realize how stupid I was and am stuck with the scars.
you have serious issues
most people just dont understand the idea ofhurting just because u want to. my therapist said it was a way to ask for help but the truth is it is just a way to numb myself to everything, i dont want to stop and i havnt. but a lot of people cant comprehend that and so they assume things like its a suicide attempt or attention getting thing. sumtimes its not but hardly anyone can realize that.
I understand where you are coming from I've been cutting for over for about 8 years and counting and yet everyone seems to worry about me I think it's because they don't understand or at least that's what I've been told at first I did it because I was sad or mad and now it's my addiction but it can be dangerous and if you aren't seeking help you need to but I am being serious when I say if you are going to cut be careful and try not to cut to deep
because cutting lead 2 more u have 2 cut deeper ever time and more off in 2 were soon the only way 2 feel good is 2 die so go get help i have cut 4 1/2 of my life and it is getting 2 were i cut so deep that i have 2 burn it shut but no one knows because i always wear long selves and paces u never see any part of my body besides my head
