If anyone could give me their opinion on my question, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Before I started cutting, I was originally a "scratcher".
(Yes, this background info is important)

I had always thought that my scratching was simply a anxiety driven thing. So I didn't really worry about it, even when I drew blood.

Now the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to question if my earlier behaviours of anxiety driven scratching is/was self-injury? (I seemed to at least mildly enjoy it, it got rid of my anxiety too)

I've done self-injuring without anxiety, so I think there may be a difference but I'm not sure.

Is there a difference betweeen anxiety-driven SIng and simple (by no means simple, but for lack of a better word) SIng?

Thanks, and sorry if I'm a bit confusing. This question seems really important to me for some reason.
