Why do some people cut their wrists superficially?!


Question: There are tons of possible reasons. Some people do it because they feel they have no control in their life, so they feel like they can control that. Some people do it to get attention. Some people do it because they hate themselves. Some people do it because they are angry at everyone but have no way to get revenge... Some people are trying to kill themselves but can't go through with it or don't know how.

That's cutting. It's not meant to be a suicide attempt. It's an attempt to deal with emotional pain, because it releases endorphins.

i have never known anyone to actually do this, just pretend they do.

3 reasons: 1. can get high 2. releases hatred toward yourslef in pan 3. some just enjoy the sensation(nice pain)

Yea, some people do it for the pain and the feeling of release they get from the pain. Some people do it for pity and attention.

Self-injury can be a very taboo subject. Expect some strange answers to this question!

Self-injury reasons can be from dealing with mental turmoil to wanting attention. Those who do it for attention will proudly flaunt their wounds -- they are a small part of the population who SI (self-injure). Those who do this do it as part of a mental illness and are ashamed of their actions. The physical pain may provide them a chance to escape their mental or emotional pain, they may feel they deserve to hurt, or they may do it to actually feel something again. It's an action that could have many complicated reasons behind it.

The risks of self-injury are too great to ignore -- if you have a friend who hurts themselves, please get help for them ASAP. They could accidentally sever a major artery. Alongside that, they need the mental help.

for either of those reasons :

it can be a borderline symptom
it can b seeking attention or a loud cry for ppl ( I AM SUFFERING)
it can b a secret shame.. cutters secretly harm to release the bad emotions ( guilt, anger, shame, low self esteem,...).. whn one cuts all those things r forgotton n the cutter concentrates on his pain...
it can b considered as drinking , on pain : endonorphines, adrenaline,, n other subs r relesed tht make thm high n feel well for a short of time..
it also can b a way of enjoyment ,, really some ppl enjoy the sight of blood.....


n lots of other reasons n many mental disorders r accompanied w/self harm.. but a common reason is : THEY need HELP ...n lack the way of copying w/their probs

if u kno any1 u should help him , search sites n kno how 2 face n deal w/ self harmers...

also if u think of cutting neva do tht coz pain n cuts relieve u TEMPORARILY.. thn everything bad is remembered again coz u didnt solve thm...n u feel guilty for how ur arm looks n cut again n here where the cycle neva stops....plz reconsider...tc.......
