usually in the aftermath of some trauma which may have occured during ones formative years. A violation and ungodly act of hurt caused by the callous insensitivity of those who should know not to pick on those who are way too vulnerable, and simply can't take it. Revulsion and anger towards the physical self perhaps because of some deep hurt, i.e, abuse, bullying, sexual aggression, etc cetera.
Self harm as an act can encompass a variety of destructive behaviours, from cutting, burning, to shaving ones hair. I slashed my arms to ribbons due to a fragile mental state, 'cause i felt violent towards "them", for crossing a boundary with me, they thought i was "weird" and relentlessly mocked and degraded me, got used as a sexual punching bag when much younger. Has a devastating impact on sufferer, loss of sound mind, proper emotional development, limited life opportunities, inability to have healthy human relationships, don't trust others that they won't end up hurting me, just like all the rest. Hopelessness and apathy about mankind. A throbbing heart.....I could write a novella about it!

subjecting oneself to the manipulative forces of the opposite sex. Act strangely around females and have no will or motivation whatsoever. If a victim is asked to do something they comply shamelessly and do not complain. Victim is reduced to a pathetic lifeform within in days and spends most of his time watching chick flicks.

The act of hurting one's self. Usually done as a way to release painful emotion, feel something etc. Types of self-harm include burning, cutting scratching, biting, breaking bones, bruising. Some may do it for attention, though people mostly don't.
If you're doing this, please please stop. This won't make your state better, no matter how you feel after doing it. Please see help. It's not shameful to want help.

P1: I want to confess something.
P2: What is it?
P1: I have been self-harming, specifically cutting and burning myself.
P2: I'm glad you are okay and talking to me. Please don't do this anymore, it isn't healthy and it won't make things better. Is there anything I can do?
