Even though you know that they are wrong, I can definitely understand how that conversation would be a trigger. It is so hard when people deny your feelings, no matter what the feelings are or what they are about. From their point of view, cutting can be very scary to people who don't understand it and very hard to accept, so it is easier for them to maintain their beliefs about people who do it being more extreme and different from them.

You are not bad and you are not crazy. It has helped me a lot to have found other people who understand. Remember we will always understand even when other people can't.
