i may have an idea now why people cut themselves.

it can be either of two things:

sometimes emotional pain becomes too overwhelming it becomes necessary to physically feel the pain. the red marks on your skin suddenly seems fascinating.  the pain becomes real.

or, sometimes you just need to feel something.  you've been numb.  pain is a feeling.  you feel pain, you must be alive.

i've been trying to figure it out too.. i think the logic might be that emotional and physical pain are almost indistinguishable together, and as you get over the physical pain, which is the faster of the two to subside, it gives you this illusion that the emotional pain goes away with it.. or at least just some of it. idk, i might have said that weird, it's the first time i've actually put it down in words

i get it.

tangible pain is easier to deal with.

at least that would be my excuse when i decide to cut.

yeah maybe, they just want to feel something to proves they still exist on earth.. but it isnt right, for there are a lot of reason to smile and to think off..
