>Calling a category of people you dislike attention whores doesn't make them count any less, nor does it make them attention whores. Sure, if we were to ignore everyone that proves my point, you'd be right.

In fact I do not dislike those people who self harm it is exact opposite.
However attention whore type people are very nasty because their goal is not to solve their problem but to make others feel miserable as well using empathy as weapon.
If you do not fall for their trick they usually get furious and start shaming you.


>I enjoy knives. They feel much more personal than other things I can think of. They make me want to cut again and again when I'm at it. I can't imagine having this tie to something like needles. It's refreshing to just sit and wait when it's over. I haven't tried needles, but I don't think it's possible to feel as good when the wounds are exposed to hot water or alcohol. I don't know if enjoying it is logical enough for you, but this is my case.

Didn't you noticed that you did not even mentioned pain here? You clearly focus on the wounds, you want to see them and feel them not cutting process itself.

Also from my own experience (when I accidentally cut myself )I can say that cutting does not hurt at all. Sometimes all what I see is dripping blood from nowhere and upon closer examination there is gaping wound which now needs lots of care and time to heal.

In this way I would even theorize that wound is similar to child or pet and people may be cutting themselves because of loneliness with intent to get something to care about.
Wounds constantly distract your attention and distract you, while for me this is a nuisance, it is most likely why people deliberately cut if they want to be distracted from their psychologic problems.
