I would do it for fun, go on live camera and put the blood on my face like a hunter gatherer. Lots of views. People thought it was cool because I'd be high while doing it with cool switch blade knives and machetes.

Focusing on a logical alternative is something people should be proud of as well as acknowledging their advice, Not cutting while they're wallowing in their own * and showing every scar as a sign of how they gave up, talking about it like I talk about drugs on the side. It's obsessive. There's only that opinion. Along with many questions that they all of a sudden then have the right to say "This one is because blablabla" It's not that addicting either.

Cutting is irrational. The same is said for any other addiction. If someone wants help, don't cut. If you want to show off, you're saying that in the name of every person that Cuts.

I tried cutting when I was agitated and thought to myself.. Why? Now I have a few scars.

But I also noticed that I needed to have a lot of hatred for myself and confusion to enjoy the even almost acute pain. Mostly it's because I wanted a rush. I ran out of stimulants so I down graded to the delusional thinking of cutting while having distorted thoughts that are controlled by emotions and amplified by stimulant crashes.
