I am a girl. I did try to self harm once before but I couldn't do it properly and I was disgusted with myself. Whenever I hear about it I find it irritating. Deep down I know it comes with complex mental issues and I don't know why I react in this way. And then on tumblr you see all these pictures of scarred people...
Well, would you rather people turn those destructive urges outward towards others? How does one properly self harm anyway?
Then again you could just run a couple of miles to get all of that out of you instead. Exercise does wonders for depression and anxiety. I ought to know, because I'm batshit crazy. Yoga has helped me so much that I'm considering running again.
Make a friend Be a friend: It would be lovely if a child could trust their Parent's to such a degree that they could relate their true self to as they grow older by the year: Thankfully in my life's experience I believe family life is good and (90%) of family life is loving, caring, with healthy and open relations being built up between mother's in particualr and father's too and slowly a friendship is being formed between all family members in trust loving caring for each other: Hi the 10% of families are good too exxcept that they need longer time to work at building healthy realtions with each other: Self Harming sadly from my life's experience only happens when communication has broken down with family members and one does not have a true friend to relieve all one's true feeling to at the most that most vunerable time in one's life's journey: Make a friend Be a friend all human beings need a friend
I self harm and I disgust myself. It shouldn't be romanticised or used to show beauty. It isn't beautiful. On others, however, I find it remarkable. It shows that they went through something in their life and they struggled, but in the end they became stronger from it. If someone I was in a relationship with had scars, it wouldn't bother me in the least. It's just a part of them and it doesn't make me love them any less.
Sad and disturbed is how I feel about this. Disgusting, no. There are many reasons that could lead a person to cut themselves. Not every situation is the same. Boredom, a cry for help, masochism, depression, wanting to die, anxiety, stress, etc. For instance, I used to cut my gums because, I was a masochist. I was depressed, but I never ever took a razor to my wrists. Doing so never occurred to me, even after I was familiarised with the phenomena.
Some people do it for emotional reasons, others do it for differing reasons. It's sad when people really do have issues and self harm due to it, real damn annoying when people pretend to have hard lives and do it for attention, and so on.
I personally self harmed because I like the sight of blood. I think a lot of people do it for that reason. I stopped now though due to how my left arm is full of scars and it looks ridiculous and I have to wear long sleeved shirts or be stared at.
So if self harmers here can see this...Don't do it. It's not worth it.
