DUN WORRY!i dun slasshhhhhh.pfftt.

hm...those could be true, but it could be more to it besides the list you got there. i slashed my arm before, but not my wrist.

i get slashed a lot by my cat heh.... but i think people do it as some sort of escape... i don't understand it well... some say it gives them relief, others say it's their way of feeling pain, some say it's just addicting 0.o

Hmm I slashing your own wrist. It also may be the excitement of feeling pain as weird as that may sound. Maybe it some sort of way to take your frustrating out on something. People drink for various reason but they do drink to take out the frustration and relax. I think slashing is a violent act on yourself to take out frustration. People can do really crazy things when they are frustrated. But the reasons Zaanime listed are prety good.

hmm...well some ppl have nothing better to do (no offence)

Umm.. what you said was true. They cut their wrist to make them feel better and to let everything free flow.

becuz maybe their life sucks n they want to end it... no so quickly but a least, is a pity form of taken out ur life

Most of the time people slash themselves when they in a bad situation...
Coz they think that the only way is DEATH...

But some of the people slash themselves coz they think it's cool...
Of course, I'm not one of them... I think it's quite stupid to slash myself...
You will only feel pain and slashing will only cause you to have ugly scars that are not cool!

By the way, zaanime-san... Are you from Singapore? (Just wondering... But pls answer...)

I know one person who used to slash herself; she said it made her feel alive - that she could concentrate on the pain in her arm instead of concentrating on emotional pain. In other words, she was able to deal with physical pain a lot easier than she could deal with emotion/psycholgical pain.

And then there are others who slash themselves because they think its cool, or because they want attention since of course slashing wrists make you bleed and make people look at you and force them to pay attention.

In my opinion, slashing wrists without the intent to end one's life if simply a cry for attention, as cutting one's wrist is believed to be an attempt on one's own life. The people, whether consciously or subconsciously use this in order for people to shower attention on them.

Cutting one's wrist in an attempt to kill one's self is simply that. They are attempting a cowardly act of escape from one's problems, rather than facing them in life. Suicide is an act done by irrational people which usually ends up hurting the people they care about the most.

People who slash their risk and call 911 afterwards is looking for attention or help.

its .............. like a release havent u ever felt real shity and went out for a ciggarette or read a book or somthing theres somthing u do to feel better when somthing isnt right and cutting is like its a feeling of release because the pain u feel isnt anything compaired to the pain ur now feeling on ur wrist...

i think people slash their wrists because theu are emotionalyb disturbed, by other words, whe i hurt myself is to abstain from the psycological pain...physical pain i weaker bu so much more intense.....(sorry for the english)

I gues they want to die slowly while the wound becomes infected!

damn you emos ! (said while waving a fist a the sky)

you don't die by slashing your wrist like that .... whilst they all say ima cut myself and die... you can't die like that...... ... lol in other words they still want to live but they deny it
( if you wanna die why not stab yourself slash deeply across the throat =/ honestly now.... or even.. cut your wrist but not across but along the road ) its irritating.... people who complain about how things hurt and everyone hates them and the world is against them lol man get to reality man life isn't beautiful... i know people who have been neglected... lost siblings and parents right in front of them and they kinda think its their fault cause they were the only ones there when it happened... and i don't see them goin all emo..... seriously.. then theres other people who thinks its so harsh cause their dad yells at them wtf, atleast yours didn't pass away in front of you or something

They couldn't handle their life anymore so they want to escape it. What better way to escape life than to commit suicide?

cause its fun

there are so many various reasons that it is impossible to name just few main things. but itjust happens to pop into people's minds, then te vicious circle is easily ready. painreaction also creates endorfines

It s a way of punishing themselves I know it sounds weird but it s the truth at least for those people that don t do it to kill themselves

I don't think that is necessarily because they want to commit suicide. People slef-torture themself, maybe because they want to release a bit of their internal and mental pressures out. They chose the worng way. But I have to admit some people really enjoy doing this! Some even do this to have people's attention to them (I don't mean to be harsh but there are cases that I've encountered. With people commiting most unlikely actions to have other's attention) and yes as some others mentioned the might be punishing themselves.

Well... since we're kinda different ,every people who does this has a different reason but yeah the main part are slashing their wrists is to release the pain. i did self-injury and thanks to me [not somebody else cause no one wanted to help me] i stopped or i think that just for moment. but i dont feel that desperate feeling just to slit my wrists. In some day i woke up and i just didint fell to do this again . A big part of the people who are doing this dont know how to stop or some of them just dont want. It's kinda hard cause even people want to help you ,you understand exactly wrong but that didint happened in my case.

Slashing your wrists isnt a bad things. Society makes it. But think about that you`ll have these scars for years . I hate my scars cause i just cant go to the swim pool any more ... or to wear a t-shirt ... all those things .. but i know deep down in my soul i know that im grateful that i did this and i love them cause they are made by myself and no one can steal them.

If I slash my wrists, I think it will be because it's fun to watch myself bleed. And then it's tasty.
But the wrists seem are too sensitive for my taste. If I can bleed almost an hour from a pimple, then I'm scared to know what will happen from slashed wrists.

Seriously, though, pain is addicting. '

t's very rare for me to think about inflicting self harm. But when I was younger I scraped my arm with a screwdriver, and I still have the scar. It was after a big scolding from everyone in the family and it wasnt my fault. As I got older I learned these things in life you just ignore, and sweep them under the rug, because it's easier to do that instead of arguing about something.

It's the same with ignorant people I meet in life, Im all smiles and nodding , they are very soon forgotten. I keep them at arms length.
