But when someone says something hurtful I break down and only take it out on myself and I physically hurt
Why do I and so many others think and feel this way????  |
Hmmmm....I really don't know
While i don't cut or SI, i do bash myself. I am vicious in my hate of me. Yet will also break down if someone else is mean to me - because their meaness to me hurts more than my meaness to me. Maybe, even though both pains are similar, our bodies register them differently? Maybe when others hurt us, its more painful because it reinforces our self-hatred - like two blows in one?
