This is a touchy subject and a big deal. Self harm is all around us. There are 3 people to me in this world when it comes to self harm.

1) ATTENTION

There are those who self harm for attention which points out a human flaw present in everyone. As degrading and irritating as it is, all humans need attention. Most humans will harm themselves just so they can point out to people that they self harm. They need people to feel pity for them because they don’t feel popular or feel their friends get more attention than them. As much as I hate to say it but these kinds of people annoy me. The ones who come up to you and show you their arms and boast about their self harming are nothing more than glorified cheerleaders. They want u to think they’re insane or out there. It gives them a sense of purpose and, though it is not the case all the time, they are basically the ones who cry wolf where suicide is concerned.

2) GUILT

The main reason people self harm is out of guilt. These are the ones who need the attention and help. They have usually been in abusive relationships, or been abused as a child. They feel they need to cut themselves as it is sort of a penance for what they feel they’ve done wrong. These people are not necessarily suicidal, they just need to feel that they are punishing themselves for the things they have failed in. Those who self harm in this way do not want people to know they self harm. They usually wear long sleeves and cover their scars as well as they can. These people have low self esteem and hate themselves. They need to be reassured that they are decent people. If possible, they need to disconnect suppresive people, as explained in Scientology’s dianetics.

3) BIPOLAR/MENTAL HEALTH

Some people cut themselves for reasons they don’t understand. They feel the need to cut themselves to either write letters to their brain, or to celebrities, serial killers etc. Bipolar disorder makes u do insane things that only these people can understand. When I self harm i try and talk to myself. It’s hard to explain if u haven’t got bipolar but it’s a way of relaying the way u feel to the way u think. It’s like writing a letter to your brain from your heart.

Anyway thats my spraff for the night. Just got arrested by the pigs for fuck all….
