And they may notice some things they’d like to change. Or mentally point out imperfections they wish looked differently. Or if they’re lucky, they’re content with what they see. As for me, I look at my legs today and want to slice them. I want to make even more cuts all over in the name of self hatred. Self hatred is expensive though. Takes a lot of energy to hide scars after they’ve been made for life and even more expensive to get a tattoo and cover them. Especially just to feel the same way after.

Have you tried shifting your self hatred to a different, less permanent form of self destruction? For periods of time I’m able to replace my self harm (hitting, bruising) with alcoholism. Like, when you feel the urge to slice yourself, you could immediately pour a few shots of whiskey or whatever’s your poison. Not a solution, but it’s an improvement.
Yeah I kinda agree to @stop-the-pain. I have a lot of scars now from doing self-harm and it’s a hassle hiding it from everybody tho it is satisfying to do it. I have another way of shifting my self hatred to making gruesome arts since I’m a graphic artist but yeah it’s much more satisfying hurting yourself physically but a hassle hiding it.
