Personally, I don’t think it’s ‘shameful’, I’ve just never understood it. I never understood why you would cause PHYSICAL pain to cope with emotional, spiritual, or mental pain.
I don’t think it’s shameful either. I love cutting, though that may be addiction speaking. It can be a distraction or you might think you deserve it, there are probably many reasons why people cut, though those are mine. I just heard people saying it was shameful and got confused.
Will you try something for me? Put a dozen rubber bands on each arm and anytime the urge to cut hits, just pluck away at them like there is no tomorrow. There is no shame in cutting. It is a coping mechanism. But, like a lot of coping mechanisms, it isn’t good.
Ok I’ll probably try that tonight if I can find some and if not I have my blades. Yes most coping mechanisms aren’t very good, such as suicide.
Thank you.
it feels good
but from others sight who have no idea why to cut it would be shameful, maybe they think you’re trying to show off, but those bitches have no idea
I don’t do it anymore because I actually was embarassed. But I used to do it as a distraction. Eventually, I would forget about anything else. It was temporary, but it got the job done. I don’t see at as shamefull, but I wouldn’t condone it. It really isn’t good.
I find myself hideing all my scars (for arms mainly) just because I can see the judgement when people do see them. I try and tell myself I don’t care what they think but it still hurts you know…

Yeah I agree, they’re all just assuming too many things.
Cutting,suicide…isn’t shameful at all.People who say that they are are just ignorant assholes.
Yeah, they don’t understand our troubles and yet they always seem to know “whats best” for us.
