Does the fact that I cut mean I'm sycho?!
Question: Does the fact that I cut mean I'm sycho?
Answers:
Absolutely not. First and foremost, this is NOT an inherently psychotic behavior. It is simply an indication that you never learned better coping mechanisms for stress and pain growing up, and now you must. Secondly, "emo" is not a term for just anyone who self-harms -- it's a term for those select-few self-harmers who only do it for attention and attribute superficial concepts like music, fashion and make-up to cutting, which is actually unrelated. These kids SUCK, and you don't want to be like them. Men and women of all ages, styles and musical tastes cut (an estimated 1% of Americans), and most have told absolutely no one and don't do it right on their arms (they do it in hidden places).

I've been a self-harmer for years, but I'm certainly not insane or incompetent. I am also not "emo" -- I hate heavy metal rock, and I am quite preppy in how I dress. Not to mention, not a soul in my life knows I do it, and they never will.
i agree with the thing about grammar this is the internet no1 can hear u and about the attention thing its ok to want some. but cutting dosent mean your insane. for most people its just an outlet. its reasonable that when your in emotional pain and its reasonable that u dont understand it, so the only thing to do is make it physical or "real"reallyy all it means is that u cant handel your emotions.maybee u went a little od but it sounds like ur going through some real shitty things your not mental ur just hurting but u need to find a less selfdistructive outlet. any one that calls u emo or any other **** is a stupid ars hole ignor them but get help, ur not wrong for cutting its understandable but there are other ways to let go of all the pain inside. try to get help
doesn't mean your psycho at all
did you know when your in pain, your mind releases endorphins? which help you cope with pain... since its painful to cut, your mind would do that.. so you could cut, to get high almost... or maybe help you cope with more pain then just the cut... like mental pain.
anyways, good luck with the people that call you all that... don't let them make you hurt more.
No, it doesn't mean you psycho. It just means you've got some issues you need to work on. Try finding a better habit. :)
it just means that you want attention, which is why ur posting this online... well here it is
