a lot of people cant understand it. because, lets face it, in reality it does seem rather retarded doesnt it? having some emotional pain, and somehow thinking that carving a razor blade through your own skin is somehow going to magically fix that issue?
it is very nonsensical, when you look at it logically.
rather than worry about what people are saying about you cutting, why dont you get some actual professional help to deal with the issues in a positive, healthy way, then you wont need to worry about it anyways.

wow ive really never thought of it that way. i never thought about it in a bad way but that is definitely and good point. and great argument lol.

i agree its been really hard for me to look past the shame i feel and the fear of being judged cause i dont want to be ashamed of what could potencially help someone someday. my mom thought i was a freak it hurt deeply and still hurts cause id take it back in a second if i could. not many people want to be that way and people should learn to realize that.

well yes, but, everyone has consequences for their actions.
people strive for some semblance of normality in this society every single day.
to go against that norm and deliberately cut yourself wide open to somehow try and bleed out emotional issues, well, you have to expect to be judged.
you have a choice, just like the rest of us.

just because someone doesnt understand what you did or why, doesnt make them “stupid”

no, theyre not stupid at all. they just dont understand.
much like if you tried to have a conversation with a nuclear physicist and try and talk and understand at their level they would probably consider you stupid too.
but youre not stupid, you just dont understand nuclear physics at the level of a professor.
its the same thing.

insensitive maybe. stupid, no.

its insensitive. not stupid. ignorant even, but still not stupid.
