I like to cut my self!!!!?

Question

Im not depressed, im not angry, i hate emo music, but i dont know why i like to do it. Im not looking for attention i just cut my self as if its like drinking water (Something normal).

Do you know why i do it??

Answer 1

Wouldn't it be better to do some actual research and soul searching to find out why you do it instead of asking people on here? We don't know you and can't tell you your motivation for engaging in self-harming behaviors. I used to self-harm and for me it became an addiction, but I've made the decision not to do it anymore (with help from my husband and therapist).

Answer 2

First thing you need to understand is that cutting yourself is not a normal thing, thus you should stop doing no matter the urge. I think you need some professional help. Do yourself a favor and seek help.

Answer 3

I would wager that you have sadomasochistic tendencies, my friend. S'okay, not really a big deal, you're not crazy and you're sure as hell not weird for it. A lot of people have a lot of reasons for self-injury, just think about it, a lot of people had self-mutilation fetishes and feel-goods, and no one questioned them. . . A couple big names might be Marylin Manson, Sid Vicious, people who get a lot of tattoos and piercings. Good for you man, don't let anyone tell you you're crazy, you're not you just like to feel. Don't go too razor-crazer though, hehe....

Answer 4

i also used to cut myself. I think its because its a pain/sensation that we can be in control over. sometimes you can feel not in control subconsciously without feeling depressed and cutting yourself can give you that controll.
Another reason is if you're feeling emotionally numb... you bleed just to feel something. Anything.
I would suggest finding something else to consume your thoughts with, such as a difficult computer game, when you feel the urge to cut. that helps me sometimes. And remember... youre not alone with this urge

Answer 5

No, this is not normal to cut yourself. There must be a reason you are doing it. Get some counseling asap

There is a reason you are doing this. Get some help

Answer 6

I don't know. Everyone has always cited a different reason.

Answer 7

don't worry about it

it's not very smart
and it's really not cool
but i've been there, done that
so i understand
just please don't lose yourself

chalk it up as a 'phase'
and find a better hobby
write
paint
take pictures
walk aimlessly through dense traffic

so, knock it off, buddy!
drink more water
and stick around!

Answer 8

you are the only one who really knows why.
try to find out.

whatever the reason may be , this is not normal like drinking water.

you should stop doing it. you are only hurting yourself (and your loved ones) and not solving your problem.

I don't know why you cut. There are so many reasons why people cut. I don't know your background, if you have mental disorders and other things.

Talking to a therapist will help.

Answer 10

only a psychiatrist could answer that question. But if it's seems 'normal' to you, why are you in Answers asking this question?
