You do know that even cat scratches that don't go deep can get infection. Any time there's even a small opening in the skin is leaves the possibility for infection to get inro the body. Shoot, even cracks on my fingers have made me need to fight off infection, so the depth of the cut is irrelevant to the possibility for infection.
Sometimes we tell ourselves stuff that isn't factually true to try to justify that it is ok for us to do things that really can cause damage & hurt ourselves.
It is a bad coping mechanism BECAUSE there are so many better ones you can learn that in no way can cause issues to the body like cutting can
