why do people cut? because they have felt so much so many emotions it becomes overwhelming they begin to feel nothing that's when cutting begins to appeal because they are so desperate to feel something anything other than happiness the easiest feeling to create is pain it is the only way to replicate what that feeling was before the silence so why not do it right there in front of you where you will be constantly reminded of some sort of feeling that same type of feeling that put you there in the first place sort of like a drug self harm is a drug and babe i don't feel anything
