I feel that way, too. I am a social work student, and sometimes it comes up as a topic in class (particularly one I took on addictions this past year)...some words make me cringe more than others, but generally I'm pretty sensitive to it, and I haven't really SI'd in a year or so. I hope the sensitivity does get less as time goes on.

I find that certain words are definitely worse than others, though, and I'm not sure why. For example, "self injury" definitely makes me cringe less than "c*tter." I guess one just sounds more graphic to me than the other or something.

(((hug)) you're definitely not alone.
