>This is slow suicide. and maybe not as much as physical suicide but suicide of soul, because self-harmer is killing his own future.
Rather than killing their own future, self-harmers may have reasons to believe their future is already over in the first place, which may lead them to self-harm. As I've said, it's a way to cope with despair.

>word regret is kinda inappropriate here because when he was doing that he knew about all consequances and he has safe alternatives. thus entire intent was to this outcome.
There's no reason to pick a safer alternative when you can efficiently damage yourself and feel good at the same time.

People pick whatever's pleasant to them currently and leave immediate trouble and worries for the future. Same deal with self-harm.

Also, knowing about consequences and actually experiencing them are two different things. It always seems abstract in the beginning.

Never have I said I don't know about other means of self-harm. I pointed out my own preference and confirmed others have done it.

>there are people who do other equally harmful things like being reckless taking credits drinking etc what is also form of self-harm
Yeah, and that isn't tied to suicide.
