I walked into a conversation a couple weeks ago between my niece and some cousins, and they were putting down people who cut - saying it's a cry for attention, etc.

I defended it...saying that most people who cut are dealing with emotional pain and that I KNOW that it's a way of distraction from emotional pain. The physical pain feels good to someone who is hurting inside.

They looked at me, confused, and said, "How do you know? OH don't TELL me you were a cutter?"

I said, "Yes, I was"....

They were shocked, and then gave me weird looks. F them.....Little do they know, it had been a long time since I cut....until a few weeks ago....
