Because they have so much emotional paint that is causing them to hurt so badly, they need some physical pain or the sight of blood to distract them from what is going on inside.

There can be many reasons why someone chooses to cut themselves. If we disregard the culture-specific cutting, and only consider self-molesting, then the most common causes are:
a) The need to feel anything besides numbness.
b) Self-punishment
c) Comforting self (because pain releases natural painkillers in the body)
d) Trying to tell the sorroundings/parents that something is wrong

so you know the right answer of why i used to cut myself, huh?
have you cut yourself or are you a miss know it all?
everyone has their own reason and purpose for what it serves them.
i did it to survive, being raped at a young age by a friend who was helped by another was the reason behind the start of it, then it was the town who perscuted me for it and i am not a voilent person and would not harm anyone but myself so i did.
i didn't want to die even though i have but for a few minutes of blood loss, and had a blood transfusion later for a point of blood loss that they could lose me if it dropped more and i didn't care if i survived i did if not okay its gods choice.
all three times i was given another chance to try have a better life and now i am happy.
i ahte people who thin kwe do it for attention, they don't know **** and can try to think that is why but they have no clue,
but there are people who mimic our behavior not knowing why but for attention, that should go to hell for being so dumb.
i knew what i was doing and people like you should think again.
survival is different for others and the way you think i did it for is probably wrong and judgemental from not understanding human behavior.

Soooo much pain inside, the pain of cutting themselves is both a relief and a controllable pain. It's just seems better sometimes to the person.

ppl cut themselves because they like beeing victims...usually they want to get the attention around them....people who do this are usual people with problems...and they think that by cutting themselves all the people will take care of them...and give them the attention they need...you don't realise that somebody has a problem until you find him in the shower...but instead of water is blood...so...people who do this are stupid...and they have no idea what life means...but who can teach them?
they have the power to teach themselves,but they don't know about that power.

It's a control thing and a way of releasing the mental pain. I think anyone who does it needs to see their doctor. An ex of mine used to do it.

They are in a lot of emotional pain, and cutting themselves provides temporarny releif from that.

to divert the pain - turning emotional pain into a physical one. Because the physical pain is much easier to deal with.
