Most people who cut arent proud of it or encouragr it. It is an addiction. It actually releases chemicals that calm the brain. Some people even have tendencies to self harm since childhood. Its often connected to depressio, anxiety, or other mental illness. Its not somethng you should judge but try to help the person. I used to cut and i did so for several reasons. It helped calm anxiety attakcs, gave me feeling during the numbness of depression. I also had strict parents and cutting wad a way of "punishing" myself for not living up to their standards. All that beng said, it wad not the right wy to deal with my issues and i also tell people to never start cutting! But it was the only way i knew how to cope because i had been taught to not show my emotins and that i had to be happy and perfext. This was a way to let out those emotions. Since then, ive seen counselors and have stopped cuttng and handle my emotions better now. And i am damn proud of myself for it! I dont judge padt me and i dont judge anyne who cuts bow. Because i understanf the intense pain they are probably going through. Its how they deal with it. No one is perfect and just because someone copes with life differently than you is no reason t judge or hate them! Maybetalk to them and try to understand what they are going through instead of hating them!
Is it normal that I hate people who self harm?
