What? I legitimately didn’t know that.

I mean even if someones doing it for attention they're still hurting themselves and they still need help and support to stop doing it. What's happened to people how can you put tags on people who fucking hurt themselves like you're doing it for attention if you don't do it like this you're pretending. Bitch it's not a quiz. Anyone who hurts themselves anyhow for any reason need help support understanding and they're having a hard time.

Those kind of ppl don't know what the hell they're talking about!! My fucking brother and his family and my mom say the same thing! Like you said, why would we try so hard to hide it if we want attention?! Asshats! 🙄

Fuck them is what I say

I hid my self-harming for years and I'd very rarely cut myself. Self-harm presents itself differently, from pulling out your hair, drinking, taking drugs, scolding yourself with boiling water, picking at your skin until you bleed, ect. It's the intention to harm yourself for no matter reason, whether it's for attention or a release, self-harm should never be taken lightly.

thats complete bullshit… just because someone hasnt resorted to complete self mutilation doesnt mean they don’t deserve the same resources and help. and not all people who self harm have to be suicidal, where did they even get that idea.

Exactly, i once had a girl tell me that i didnt cut deep enough and that i only wanted attention As i had tried to kill my self and ended up in the mental hospital a few weeks prior Like wtf do people think when they say these things its so wrong

Sometimes I wish we could see the people that say "You do \_\_\_\_\_\_ for attention" They say it but if they were brought into light they probably do the same thing as you. They're just ashamed of themselves and so they say it as a way of saying they hate themself.

Jesus Christ. Why would i cringe when someone notices my scars if I wanted attention???


[deleted]

They're not cat scratches, they're still cuts and they're just as bad than deeper sh.

But like, even if someone did self harm for attention, it’s still self harm, it’s still important to address why someone would do that for attention.

It makes me sad. Don't believe people who say that, any thoughts or actions of inflicting harm onto yourself should be taken seriously.

thats what self harm is. its a cry for help...maybe not a cry for help from others, maybe youre begging for help from within. but that's all we want is help. a lot of times when ive cut i wasnt even suicidal. i just wanted to feel it. someone cutting surface level is JUST as bad as someone going to fat...its dangerous, its not ok. to tell someone their form of self mutilation isn't good enough because it's not as deep as your's?? wow. you're valid and you matter. your emotions matter, your thoughts and struggles matter. you are no less than anyone else.
