Raylen Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Honestly. I want a serious answer. Why do people cut themselves? It seems counter-intuitive, to remedy pain with more pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Rhodes Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 You mean you want to turn us all Emo ? Not only emo's and strang people cut themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 It numbs emotional pain. It's what I hear... If someone like that is hurt emotionally, they cut their arm or something to feel pain... I don't really get it.. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Seed Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Kitty: Eh...that wouldn't help in any way I see.... The cut there self (my opinion) because they feel like they don't belong and should die, but there sub-conscious won't let them kill themselves completely, so they don't get near the veins (unless they're emotionally disturbed THAT much, in which they need help...)

cerberus21 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 A lot of them do it for attention. If they don't even try to hide the marks on their wrists, then all they're doing is saying "Hey, look at me! I'm emotionally disturbed". I'm not trying to be demeaning or insensitive, but if you need to talk about your problems, do it! It's MUCH easier (and healthier)to just start a slightly awkward conversation with your friends than slit your wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 It's pain distraction.Create pain in another area so you won't feel or think about the pain that is bothering you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

六兆年と一夜物語 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I wonder if they don't get the fact that if they die from bleeding they can't cut themselves anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Shovel Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 People cut themselves because it numbs reality, so they don't have to think, just feel the pain. I speak from experience, unluckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, in rare cases, people do it because they are mentally ill and believe it will genuinely alleviate emotional pain and stress. But these days, you definitely hear enough stories of immature young teens who do it for no reason other than a cry out for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 A doctor won't say it's mentally ill unless there really is something wrong with the person.
