They are mentally unstable.
Some are able to turn their pain into pleasure.
they are trying to cut them selves on the outside becuz they feel hurt or abused on the inside i think becuz i wouldn't really no i don't do that
They are seeking attention.
Because they have so much emotional pain, it is a release to feel physical pain.
Hi,
Some people do it to relieve the pain in there lifes, others do it as they are intrigued, such a shame, I do hope that the people who do it realise there are people who CAN help them.
Thanks
Its a physical outlet for mental pain. If they're in physical pain they have somethine else to focus on. Some do it so often that they get a thrill out of it
sheesh.its a call out for help ..
They do it as a release from emotional pain actually. To them it helps them cope. making it feel good.
The pain they're feeling inside hurts much more. The only way they can come to terms with it and cope is to put it into a physical form, so they cut themselves to actually relieve their inner turmoil.
It is a symptom of mental illness.
The pain of the cuts takes their mind from the pain of whatever they're trying to escape from. Frequently they're depressed and anxious and looking for some kind of way out.
Ignore the rest who say anything about "mental illness" or "psychotic" or "serial killer". People who cut themselves are self-focused and aren't interested in the pain of others, only in their own pain.
Sometimes they can get help, and sometimes they just realize one day that what they're doing is really stupid and stop. Or do something else more productive (like exercise) to take their mind off things. It helps.
it does hurt i used to be a cutter wen u cut urself u feel pain but its different from a hurtring experience it took me alot of counsiling to get over the felling that i need to cut myself but:(....
because they are.: insecure, self loathing, stupid, unintellectual,sicodic, mainiacy, and/sucidially unstable (unless they aren't striking a vien, then they just want attention).. yes it hurts (i think), it hurts a lot. unless you use a razor blade, then it doesn't hurt at all (because of how sharp they are)
its a form of release for them - they think it releases the pain and hurt that they feel :-(
i geuss they have lowselfasteam and so they cut them self and if they keep cut them self it will soon not hurt but when they start it hurts

Yes I'm sure it does hurt, but sometimes people feel that pain is pleasure. Many people have a mental or psychological problem far beyond cutting, even though that is the only thing you see. It's hard to pinpoint out why one does it, because everyone has their different reasons though. You should look into topics by searching through Yahoo!, you may find a lot of helpful and interesting information you didn't know before. But like I said, its a very complex topic that requires more than just one simple answer.
some do it because they feel emotional pain and need to have something tangible to associate it with. it is a coping mechanism for them to deal with the emotional pain.
I think because they have some issues that need to be tended to. They need serious help, because I'm sure it hurts too.
Attention. They crave attention.
People cut themselves to distract them from emotional pain from memories. They were abused in the past and need a good mental health practioner.
I saw an episode in Oprah about ppl cutting themselves. Its so awful, i mean the pain they inflict upon themselves is very hurting. I think they overcome or at least try to overcome the emotional distress by hurting themselves and letting the pain go out of their bodies. It sounds sick to us but ppl who do that need a lot of attention and love. They can be cured by proper medical help. I hope nobody shud ever do the cutting thing.
the pain i feel as i drag a blade across my chest or forearm is NOTHING to the torment and pain thats inside, it takes everything i know and makes it all just.disapear,the addrenalin,its just a way to escape reality, even if for a second

its called self harm. sometimes people do it when they are angry or scared, and they feel the only way to deal with their emotions is to hurt themselves on purpose. they are unlikely to be seeking attention.
