Im a cutter. Im not ashamed and i dont want to kill myself. A few people know i cut but i dont tell many people becasue of the steryotype associated with cutting nowdays, ive been called a poser and whatever but i was wondering what people genrally think about cutting and if your one of those people who say its for attention or something nasty why do you say it? It makes me feel like im Doing something dangerously wrong when i know i can control it (ive been cutting for going on 4 years) is it just people misunderstand why people cut or is it something else? Please help

i used to self harm although havnt in a loong time. i have seen people who make public displays of their scars on their wrists etc so everybody can see, personally i find this annoying. when i self harmed i never really told anybody so i cant really understand that motive.i think the reason self harm is really displayed with that kind of stereotype is because you only hear about the whiney teenage angsty girls who think its cool to be messed up stories, plenty of normal people do it besides that stereotype, you just dont really about is as much.

is it a outlet for your stress the cutting , ive never been able to understand?

its hard to explain why i cut , its kind of like a build up of everything thats ever happened in my life and then it just gets too much. something like that. i dont openly go up and be like "oo look i slit my writs look how much it bleed"whatever i know people who do and i know thats really annoying. ive never acctully told anyone about my cutting people ussally just find out by accident. also i dont get why people go around shoving their cuts infront of peoples face. im not ashamed of what i do but theres a differnece between that and showing anything with eyes. i dont understand

i tried to cut myself a few times. i want to, but im scared. any tips?
-
well, its like my first smoke. i think once i try it i wont wanna do it anymore.

Not Really. I tried smoking a couple of times, i hated it, i do not know why people find it so addictive. I tried i think 4 times, damn peer-pressure. Learnt not to do it again.

im a cutter, and have been for about 3 years. i makes me really really mad when people say i do it for attention because attention has NOTHING to do with it. i never wanted anyone to know i was a cutter, then people started finding out. but i think that people who dont understand it should really just not say anything. thats common sense to me. you dont judge people for what they.. or have done. atleast thats how i was raised...

I cut for up to 9 years.. earlier in my life.. I can say I couldnt control it, I think maybe they give the sterotype to those who cut, because the general group of cutters do it for attention, for the whole.. "oo look at me look what I did, oooo , no one has it worse than me" type of attention, (which personally isnt one that Id want) I for example cut, just because it was a way to releave the pain of everyday stress, and harrassment I got at school. I also had to pay for the "sterotype" thats just when i started hiding it even more and more. *shrugs shoulders* I hope I have been of some sort of help on this..
