stupid question to those who cut and for those that dont i guess we will never understand. How many people actually like the pain? how many people actually want attention. I am not being a hipocrit because my friend cuts herself and she is soo pretty she has no reason to. Her excuse is that she's so unloved and she hasnt had a boyfriend...its so sad, how do i help her...can i help her?

I myself enjoy the pain.
My tolerance for physical pain is too high, and my life is so ******** up, that I sometimes just want to feel physical pain so I therefore give myself some.
As for helping your friend, I've no idea what to tell ya. It took me 2 years for me to help my friend Nykki to stop cutting. Even still I have troubles with it myself though.
And as for her being single, I've been single for 3+ years myself. All I can say is she has a long time still most likely (most likely being: if she has cancer or the such, forget the statement).

People cut for a lot of different reasons.
I won't say which one I cut because of, because I still have urges to go back.
But here's some reason:
~ They like the sight of blood
~ Masochism
~ To help them forget for a little/ escape
~ They think they deserve it
~ They are depressed and it helps them get over it

okie dokie. well i started cutting last year (8th grade for me) and i did it for many reasons. some of my friends did and i wanted to know what it was like, i was (and still am) having some home problems and feeling actual pain made it more real, i luved the pain, the rush, the blood... i really could go on. it took me awhile to stop though and sometimes i still go back. but for me, it was mostly for the rush. the realization that i could hurt myself but it didn't really hurt. i was so close to the edge that i almost killed myself twice, but yet i'm still here. so i guess it's also about strength. i have a bettter pain tolerance now, i could give up whenever, but i could always go back. but more than anything else, i think it was like a drug...

I've come to find that cutting or self harm can focus the mind. I personally have not cut. Why? Because of my activites (Dance, Martial Arts) my body was always exposed. But over working your body to the point of breaking can have the same results. By causeing one self pain it is possible to make a restless mind focus on one thing. Yes there can be better ways to focus the mind. But that is what I have learned. That when a persons mind is litterally overwhelmed they will try almost anything just for a temporary focus.

I ussed to cut, I got the scars on my upper legs to prove that.
(Main reason why I rarely wear skirts and never wear bikini bottoms)
I quit cutting in 8th grade, I started in 6th
On occasion I grab one of my knives and go back to the rush
(I've only cut myself twice this year)
Only because I felt I dersurved to feel the pain, and I felt like the most pathetic, lowest human being on the planet that does not desurve to breath.
People say 'cutting is emo' its not and they also say 'you do it for attention' your not, people do things for a reason, for me cutting is to release the pain i have inside, and to punish myself for being alive.
(Not in a masochist way)

`It's the pain.
I haven't done it in awhile...
But, yeah.
When you cut yourself, your body releases chemicals {or whatever they're called} into your body, helping you to relax.
Same thing after you drink hot sauce.
=D
I think it's somewhat for attention.
But not intentional.
It's pretty much a cry for help.
And is one of the warning signs for potential suicide.
Except no one takes it that seriously with the whole "emo" trend going on.
As for your friend, all you really can do is tell someone.
A grownup, teacher, counselor, etc.
And be there for her.
Tell her how much you care about her and how wonderful she is, etc.
Be sure that she realizes that you're there for if she needs to talk.
=D

I mainly do it for the feeling i get from it. Sometimes, i completely zone out and it just....happens. What sucks is i'm triggered by a couple of songs...and i'll forget and play them sometimes...i just can't help it...

If you truly cut yourself, it's not really to get attention. I haven't cut in a while, but yeah, it's difficult to explain. However, if you go to the Got Goth? Guild, you'll find a Pinned topic about that there in the main forum, that explains the most of it. As a cutter, I fully approve of it.

Eternal thoughts, eternal fears...
I think there is more than one reason for a person to cut, but the one that makes the most sense to me is that it's like biting your lip when you're at the doctor's office getting a shot. You are distracting yourself from one pain with another. As a cutter, I can identify with this. Some people find it hard to stop cutting because even though they may not feel emotional pain, their bodies may be addicted to the horomones released when they cut, so they want to cut more. I hope that clears things up.
...eternal dreams, eternal tears.
