Also, one more thing, is when someone you care about or they care about you, finds out. It can bring SO much pain to them, and when you realize that, you will end up hurting also. The mindset of someone self injuring is usually they want to hurt themselves, because they feel they deserve it, not other people. But when other people start hurting because you are doing that to yourself, then you feel so ashamed and distraught, because you didn't want that happening. But sooner or later, it probably will.
