I haven't resorted to self harm in my life and do not know much about it.
Why do people do it? It's often said that they do it to feel anything. I wonder, is that just something poetic, which in actuality turns out to be some form of cope, or does it actually evoke feelings for an emotionally dulled person?

By this way, in percentage/average, Women ''attempt'' suicide two times more than men. But funnily enough, men are more prone to kill themselves 3 to 4 times more than women. Put a bit of thought 1+1 and you will come to some conclusions yourself.

I did it since I was about 5 or 6. It stems from depersonalization.

Tbh I remember playing with toys and poking needles, and I felt like I was also a toy/not real. So damaging myself apart only natural and the habit stuck for years. Especially whenever I get depressed

I wouldn't trust those numbers since a) they are self reported and b) stuff like taking a package of OTC sleeping pills is considered and attempt (in other words they just do it for attention)

Exactly, that's the point. Try talking with an alternative girl ( or E-girl for short ) that has never ''''''''ATTEMPTED''''''' suicide before. They wear the '''''''SUICIDE ATTEMPT''''''' as if it was a badge of honor, truly vile shit.

I always thought that failed suicide attempts were mostly for desperate attention. Anyone has the mental capabilities to do a proper research and clean execution, but in the end its not as much about that as it is about half-assed behavior and making a joke of this topic.

idk ive always had severe depression and was never a fan of cutting myself
i think most ppl do it while on painkillers

its prob the adrenaline and endorphins tho
exercise is the same thing

diff people have their diff copes, i just ate a lot to cope

apart from the reasons already mentioned i think it can very cathartic in the same way taking revenge on somebody is. imagine you have an incredibly deep seated hatred of yourself, a lot of regrets, and believe that you yourself are the course of all your problems. its probably the same reasoning as people who take revenge on society by murdering a bunch of people use, but aimed at yourself instead

I only have the balls to do it when I'm drunk, go hard with the Stanley blade until my legs get all fucked up.

I hide all my scars because it's gay and retarded for men to self harm but I am gay and retarded so (see: scorpion and the frog)

It's a physical manifestation of self hate, or some shit

It's crazy tho you do feel a weird adrenaline from it and it's legit addicting to keep going

i guess what you get addicted to is the release, since there isnt really a lot of ways to get rid of your frustrations. idk, self-sabotage is probably better than just letting it build up

Self sabotage is good to motivate you to neck yourself
