Starving ones self due to punishment overall feels better then other forms of self punishment, at least in my opinion. It’s easy to pull off, easy to stop, and provides an indescribable feeling of emptiness. Whenever I feel I’ve let someone down, this is what I typically end up doing. While unhealthy (even though all forms of self harm are) it doesn’t leave scars or require intense courage to do as activities like cutting yourself do. That’s why I believe most people to it. This is just speaking from my experience, which might differ from others viewpoints.
