What cause ppl to turn emotional? No confident?
Why people cut: My guess is extremely strong emotions.
Unexplainable intense pain that is overpowering.
Think of a person locked inside a nailed coffin with no way of escaping. They probably have no idea how to cope and they have no healthy methods for release.
They think the physical pain from cutting themselves distracts the emotional torment. Slowly it becomes a habit. Usually happens to girls because the chromosomes have it that they are more emotional than guys. But there are probably emotional guys too.
I think everyone has emotions, good and bad ones. Confident people can be emotionally intense people as well.
Finding the proper channel for release is key. Some people confide in friends, others play aggressive sports, some will choose to write or play music, others will let it all out by yelling, slamming and breaking things. Some play violent computer games to relief themselves.
I think cutting usually starts in teenage years ba. Growing up is tough when you are still trying to figure things out. Emotional literacy is still very raw, with no idea on how to balance or how to react to the pain.
If you are curious because you know of someone who does it, lend a listening ear. Offer help. Based on what I know people who cut themselves are also usually suicidal.
If i have a friend doing stuff like this, my tear will roll for them.
Hope one day, they will realise cutting themselves is not a good thing to do.

omg.
I think what north face said is very true.
I hope she will be able to find a healthier outlet for release of her pain.
The girl in the crimson bleed blog is in very bad shape. Her injuries are increasingly serious.
I know of two ladies who cut themselves. And noticed multiple scars on the arms of a female cashier at the convenience store near my place. ![]()

Found this picture when I was searching for some information on cutters.
The caption says, The whole journey is 'in your mind'.
Quite true.
holy shit.
speechless.

People cut themselves because they want to get away from the pain and stress they feel. By focuing on the pain of their cuts, they forget about everyhting else that is bad going on around them.
They also cut themselves because only when they feel the pain, they feel they are alive.
Another reason could be they feel they lack the control of what is happening around them. But they are able to control the pain when they cut themselves. It makes them feel in control and so they continue to do it.
This is what happens if emotion > logic
What my friend told me is that they felt very hurt and needed some place else to divert the hurt feelings to...
I don't think we have a law against VCH or VCGH against one self... Maybe we should start one?
My take on people cutting themselves... They're idiots... You feel sad, pitty you, tragic event happen in your life... cutting yourself is the answer? Its not even an answer, it actually creat more problems along with drinking...
If you face a problem and you are overwhelmed by it... step aside for a while, go east coast with friends... if no friends, enjoy yourself at the arcade or other self activites... but remember to come back to that problem no matter how much it hurts coz that problem is never going to go away if you avoid it... Think of solutions, don't think of running away...
I saw the pics and I really feel nauseous and sad.
How can the cutting go undetected by the doctors?
why cut urself? Want cut ask ppl cut for u la! ![]()
ok,ive seen the blog,and im totally speechless. It seems like the person has taken up cutting herself as a hobby. Its....sadistic man..
wonder how old is she
they just want to feel if they are alive or not by cutting themselves
i.e feel pain = still alive
>> that's what my friend told me..
when i was in sec sch..i know of this gal who alwiz cut herself...n her wrist to elbow area is full of scar lines loh =.=''' she said that she felt tired of life & feels like a walking zombie..the only way to feel alive is via pain..
as much i think its stupid....i now see it as a sickness. it needs treatment badly, not the hands but the head!
WTF.
THIS IS SICK...

I finish reading her blog.
She is so sad. Been cutting herself for at least 3 years already.
Attention seekers sia.
Who in the world who is sad or depressed would take photos of the cuts on the hands and put on the blog for wad? Show people how sad they are and trying to gain sympathy? Or is it a FYI thing.
Some sick sadist, cut themselves and let it bleed and then u post on ur blog? Doesnt make sense to me.

In a way, she is seeking attention. She wants someone to geniunely care for her. She wants to be helped. But it seems that others are not giving her the help she wants.
I almost puked...

That's why I got my pets, cos they will always make me smile and love me. ![]()
Nothing else matters anymore when I looked into their eyes.
i agree.... cutting your pets is more healthy than cutting yourself.
