What does cutting yourself do?
Endorphins. It’s like a pain killer your body makes. The way I understand cutting is it just helps the person feel better. It turns that emotional pain into physical pain. You know when you fall and it hurts then a few seconds later it feels better. That’s what cutting is all about. Making that pain go away. No it’s not for attention. Must believe it is. I know a few cutters. My best friend cuts herself and hides it well. only a few cut for attention and they are stupid. A “real” cutter will do anything to hide it. Lie about cuts and marks. Anything so no one finds out. People who cut for attention can stop whenever they want. Someone who does not can not stop.
