10 Reasons People Cut Themselves

10 different reasons many people feel that harming themselves is the only way to make them feel better.

Maybe your friends told you that you should give it a try, but you’re not really sure why you need to do that in the first place. Maybe you’re thinking that you can just have sex with her instead of going down on her and you can. However, women love receiving foreplay, and they need it in order to get themselves wet. Going down on a girl gives her extra pleasure and is a nice addition to your foreplay routine. Plus, when she does orgasm, it’ll feel even better.

1. Cutting is a Disorder
2. Many different people that suffer from different forms of depression, cut after reaching a peak in sorrow. Which is very reasonable. Seeing them bleed reminds them that they are still able to feel something, and that life isn’t over yet.
3. A Cry For Help
4. Some people cut themselves to show others they need help in life, they need to find something or someone that can give them a reason for why they should be here. They don’t tell to increase the effectiveness of anyone wanting to help them if they somehow find out.
5. For Attention
6. Many teens or other people cut themselves in hope for attention. In hope that someone will care that they do it. These people are usually the ones that go off and tell everyone that they do it, just so they’ll feel bad for them.
7. It puts them in control
8. Some people cut in order to see that they are in control of something. Seeing the blood and feeling the pain shows them they can control at least one thing, which is good positive reinforcement.
9. A symbol of love
10. Many different people think that carving their lovers name into them is a good way of showing them that you love them, and that you’ll go through any amount of pain for them. This isn’t always the best idea. Yes some people do think it’s very passionate and caring, but if they truly love you, they won’t want you to do that to yourself.
11. Cutting relieves stress
12. When someone cuts themselves, pain relieving chemicals called Endorphins are released to relieve stress or emotional pain.
13. They like how it looks
14. Alright, I honestly hate when people do this. They only cut themselves to see how it looks, or the cool patterns they can make. This is possibly one of the worst decisions you can make. If you want to do that, just draw something instead.
15. They feel like they deserve it
16. Many people are very self-loathing these days and want to do whatever they can to hurt themselves after making bad decisions. Cutting usually comes into play there.
17. They like the pain
18. Some people are just truly messed up and like being hurt, so they do things like cutting in order to feel pain. But the truth is, when people cut themselves for reasons that actually make sense, they are too worked up to feel any pain at all.
19. Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
20. Many people suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, meaning they have somewhat of multiple personalities. And the only way they could get through the different problems and different pain, was cutting or self-harming to relieve it all.

I myself have cut. Over 300 times as an estimate. I did it because of depression, and feeling that I was not worth anything. I have tried stopping many times, but usually fail due to different problems with my life. Currently I have been clean for only a week, but I hope to find something else to relieve pain instead.
