Another cutting topic.

hrm. i don't really get it....
there's people "bitching" because most of the topics discussed in here are about cutting and criticizing it but yet they don't know what most of the people are going through.
but anyways.
yeah another topic about cutting so if your gonna bitch about it then don't read it.......

for those of you who do cut....and your friends know about it but don't really try to stop you or even talk to you about it...does it ever make you feel like they don't care?

Hey Hunny, yeah ino wat ur saying, my parents dont tell me not to cut,they dont say anything really. I think its because even if they tell me to stop im not going to im a stubborn person. wen its ur frnds hu dont, it could me that theyre unsure wat to say, ino that i dont want my frnds telling me not to coz im alright, i can stop when i want so they dont bt i know that they do worry, mayb they just dont know wat to say or just dont understand wat cuttings about. hope that helpd, xxoo, liz

My two best friends, and sometimes the only ones I have, cut and I used to too. When I did though, one was really upset about it and the other just told me I was stupid for it and never said anything again. When I confront her about her cutting she just kinda laughs like "He-He I'm so cute though!". I havent cut myself in a month and sometimes I just want to smack her when she gets that smug look on her face. She's got so much stuff going on in her life, I wouldnt doubt if she was doing it for attention. Thats what really makes me mad about it.

One reason why your friends don't try to intervene when they know you are cutting is beacause they might be scared. It doesn't nessecarily mean that they don't care about you.

Put yourself in their shoes they probably think you don't want to be told to 'stop cutting' every time they see you. Even if they wanted to tell you some of them may feel that they were crossing the line, or not know how to. Others may just not understand, possibly think that you are stupid for using cutting as an outlet for your emotions and so just chose to ignore it altogether.

Isn't cutting a personal problem? One that you should deal with yourself or with friends or a therapist or something? I mean, not to be mean, but it really seems like if you go and flash it on the internet it seems like you just want attention.
-oh, I CUT! meMEME-
-yah, cutting is great-
-I wanna quit but I can't-
ect..
I cut too, so it's not like I don't understand what you mean in the topics... but, it just seems like you want attention, and you're asking people on the internet- Normal people like you, how to quit. Do you know how to quit? Do your friends know how? These people are just like you, they don't really know any better than you do how to quit or what you should do. If you cut, you're probably depressed too, and if you really do want to get better, than maybe you should go see a doctor or a therapist and get some professional help.

I agree Vix cos when no one is pressuring you to stop or give up whateva it is, you realise that you either have to make yourself stop or that this will continue on forever. And that makes you really think and it's probably easier to give something up that way. Like if someone checks your arms for cuts or something you just move on to cutting someplace else and don't deal with it.

Ive never been a cutter but I am also really suprised to see how many people within this site are, it saddens me and Im endeavouring to understand just a lil better, so I ask questions more than anything, I'm not bitching or whinging about people who talk about cutting but do you guys feel it wrong for me too question and ask things, even participate in the forum because Im not a "self-harmer" (cutters is such an ugly word) I mean don't get me wrong - I am but in other ways

Just curious on your opinions on that guys? :o)

no, i don't think it's wrong for you to participate in the forum and whatnot. or even ask questions. i mean if your curious then go for it ask questions. just iono. sometimes people take things way out of line and say shit that shouldn't be said. i mean, yeah, some people do this stuff for attention but not everyone and i don't think it's fair to judge the ones who don't want attention.....just help.

yah i really feell ike they dont care somtimes... like i got sent to the guidance thing once from my frend.. it was a year after i started cutting... she told them i was thinking of killing ymself or wutever... wen they caleld my mom and told ehr she was all upet for a while and controlling but she didnt take me to a shrink and she onli was upset for abotu a day... i htought well good i wotn hav to go btu then i thought jesus christ any decent parent wood take her duaghter to a shrink if she wanted to kill herself!!!!! but o well...it doesnt bother me 2 much
