Is cutting for attention I don’t think so. If someone want’s attention there are other easier, less painful ways to get it. In my case I started doing it to get rid of the numb state I put myself in. Something very similar happened to me when I was 12 I went numb to block out the pain and humiliation of it all, cutting was the only thing I found that made me feel alive inside. As for feeling pathetic, I wouldn’t. Everyone deals with what there going through in their own head. Your problems are just as valid as anyone else’s not better not worse.
