I experimented with this, when I was a teenager ,and of course I took it too far. Now I have some unsightly hypertrophic scars, that I hide under clothing. This is my biggest regret in life. I wish, I can erase the scars off of me, because they remind me of a terrible time in my life.

Why it is bad? It can push people away. It is also an extreme form of being hard on oneself.
