self mutilating or maybe they want to feel themselves to feel alive. This is very common. I punch myself in the chest.

Self-mutilation is a general term for a variety of forms of intentional self-harm without the wish to die. Cutting one's skin with razors or knives is the most common pattern of self-mutilation. Others include biting, hitting, or bruising oneself; picking or pulling at skin or hair; burning oneself with lighted cigarettes, or amputating parts of the body.

The overall term for this is "self-injurious behavior." Self-mutilation would be a subset of the general behavior. Cutting is one of the most common but it can take many forms.
