You know why people cut? Because it's a distraction. For one moment you don't feel all the pain. The loss. The hurt. All you feel is that razor going into your skin. The blood dripping down your arm. Leg. Stomach. You don't think about how alone you are or how fat and ugly you are. You don't think about the way people talk about you behind your back. You don't think about how your family is fighting or your friends hate you. All you think about is the blood. And the addicting part? Well, that's when all the hurt and pain come back. When the cut isn't fresh and you can feel all the build-up of sadness or loneliness inside you. So you have to do it again, but a little deeper so the numbness will last longer. The pain inside will be delayed longer. And as the pain inside gets worst and worst you have to make the pain outside worse and worse. It's all about control. You have it. You can't control the pain on the inside so you get to control it on the outside.
Signs of someone who self-harms can be that they always wear hoodies or long sleeves even when it's not cold.

its when you look in the mirror and cant stand what you see. when you criticize everything you do, doubt every decision. its a thousand voices bullying you all the time and you cant make them go away because they are inside and honestly you agree with them anyway. when all you can see is mistakes and faults and you start wondering why anyone could like you or love you. its when you want to be everything your not.
when other people see beauty she just sees her faults, her mistakes. wow she thinks " so this is what self hate feels like"

Get the self-dissing mug.
The act in destroying oneself with alcohol, drugs, sex, addictions, negative thoughts, setting yourself up for failure, Etc. The act of spiraling downward.
Have you seen Mike lately? He is totally being self-destructive. He has been on a 7-Day drinking binge.

Self harm is the worst way to cope with your problems. A little bit of background info on what it is, its a form of coping/therapy to people who clearly have a hard time. I hate it when people assume that its for attention and they think its funny to call someone barley hanging on to life "emo" or "attention seeker". I know this because I am in that current state. I shouldn't be doing something so horrible to myself but its a addiction that progresses and get worse as you keep doing it. I am making this due to my own actions and my friends actions, it hurts me to see people turn out like me especially at my age. Self harm is a way of hurting yourself because you think you deserve it (In my own experience that's how I felt). And the horrible people who think its funny to see someone in pure pain can all go to hell. Self harm is so bad for your health and it puts you in the dark state i'm in, its a path I want nobody to go through. And the people who purposely hurt themselves for attention, I hope they are miserable. Self harm hurts so bad mentally and psychically. People think self harming is attention seeking and it hurts because nobody really understands till they end up in the same state of the person. To anyone thinking about self harm, please don't..Its a addiction that doesn't stop when it starts, Please find someone to talk to and take care of yourself. Drink some water and please stay safe <3
"Hey _____ likes self-harm what a fucking emo haha!"
"You sick fucking bastard don't speak to me again."

When you have nothing to live for in life and decide to take the shortest route possible to the end.
Similar to suicide, Self Oof is unique in the way that you will always make others feel bad because they thought you were joking but you really aren't.
