Do cutters (people who self injure themselves with razors etc...) appear normal, happy, or depressed to the outside world?

I'm 21 now but when I was in my mid teens I was a cutter and a burner. I never told anyone and no one has ever found out. I have horrible scares but the are hidden under clothes. I am much better now and have not done that for about 5 years now. I plan on getting surgery to reduce the visibility of the scars. Its very embarrassing to have them.

From experience of knowing people who do cut themselves seem like very normal and happy individuals. A friend of mine was a cutter and I realized that she was hiding something. I knew that at stressful times in her life she seemed strangely happy, as if she couldn't express her anger or sadness. She ended up telling me she cut herself later on. She suppressed her fellings by cutting on herself. If you know someone like this or if you are that person then I suggest that the person talk to someone close or seek professional help immediately before it gets worse.

They appear that they are having a tough time coping with themselves or the rest of the world.
