I am 43 and I am still a cutter. There are a few people here are obviously NOT self cutters. This is going to sound strange to you but everyone else will agree. We do not cut to give ourselves pain, or because we have low self esteem. Cutting is more of a pain release. We do not just grab something and stick ourselves, it is very calculated and soothing (at least for me)
Is it normal to purposely hurt myself?
