It does hurt, but not right away. It's like a tattoo or a piercing. Adrenaline and endorphins are released, so you don't feel the pain right away, just the rush. After half an hour or so it hurt like hell.
The adrenaline release is part of what makes it so addictive, and being a thrill seeker I was probably predisposed to that as well.
Wow, this response and the other one kind of made me have a different perspective. I still don't think it's normal and I think it's still dumb but reading how it makes you feel got me thinking how ya people have different reactions to different things but even cutting yourself! This is how I see it now, if it makes you feel that way, that good, then I guess. I just didn't know that it could actually feel good. I thought it was just to literally hurt yourself cause of how much you hate so and so, but apparently it does the opposite ?
Oh and also why not just get a tattoo or piercing then? Youre gonna have a mark anyway
Is it normal if I think cutting yourself is stupid?

Tattoos and piercings are expensive, and not all cuts scar.
That's what I do now, actually, Im impatient to go under the needle again. I have several tattoos planned out and not enoug funding to get them.
It's definitely not a healthy behavior, I've worked hard to get away from it. But it helps to understand the psychology behind self harm.
