People pretend that I matter.
They pretend to be my friend.

I've learned the lesson, though:
When someone else punches me in the face it doesn't matter.
When someone smashes me into the floor it doesn't matter.
When someone beats me up it doesn't matter.
When someone burns me it doesn't matter.
When someone cuts my skin it doesn't matter.

Logically then, when I hurt myself it shouldn't matter either when

Although I feel the same too, can we share a cave or something and ride it out.

((( Everyone ))) when Thanks.
I'd love to curl up in a den and try to wait this out Purple.

Need to vent a bit...

Are the cuts others give to me invisible?
Are the bruises others give to me invisible?
Are these cigarette burns invisible?

If they are invisible then who cares if I hurt myself. when
It doesn't matter if I hurt myself.
People don't like me.
Only SI makes sense.

Take care,

Cut a bit.
Not that it matters.
I'm just Vince. Just me.
It doesn't matter when it's me.
If someone else got hurt, oh, that would be tragic.
But not Vince, he's worthless when

Why do I have to be like this.
Why can't I be good.
Why can't I go a day without screwing up like this.
Because I'm stupid, that's why.
Sorry to waste everyone's time.

You're not stupid, you're human. And important to all of us here, you are in pain. We care about you and don't want to see you suffer. You're not wasting our time. We want to help.

Take care,

Of course you matter Vince.

Some of my posts you have replied to, some of the advice you have given me over the past few months have mattered loads to me and have made such an impact on me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on here that can say that...

Surely that makes a difference, because it has certainly made a difference to me.

You matter to me, you matter to us, your not stupid and your certainly not worthless... please see this.

Be good to yourself, you deserve it, babyg xXx

My 'friends' reminded me today that I'm stupid when
And they 'helped' me with my wheelchair so I tumbled down a short bit of stairs when

They can hurt me.
Why shouldn't I hurt me?
It doesn't matter to other people if they hurt me.
So it won't matter when I hurt me.
People walk all over me so doesn't matter if I hurt me too.
Others can justify me hurting - can't I when
