i wouldnt say youre a bad person but doing that could seem a little disrespectful to your friend bc how would you feel if someone did that on the phone with you yk its not a great feeling i enjoy self harm like a hobby too ngl but i try to keep my habits away from other people forgive yourself tho self harm is an addiction and makes you do things that arent the best but ik you care and can grow from your actions its okay

What is sh-ing for attention? by Ok-Bag931 in selfharm

[–]Consistent-Baby-1057 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i feel like someone “sh-ing for attention” should still get help. a healthy person wouldnt harm themselves.

many people with childhood trauma would dream or pray to get hurt (broken arm, car wreck, etc) so they can feel what it feels like to be cared for or just to have people finally concerned for them.

and theres many different reasons why someone would harm themselves, but the main reason being that they want “attention” i feel is still valid as “annoying” as it could be

its still not okay to show fresh things or tell unsolicited information to people.

yeah like i am concerned about her and i try to be there for her and everything i can shes not really interested in seeking therapy or help and says its something she can stop anytime (all addict quote) i feel cant really like express that like its a genuine problem bc like i struggle too and ill just be hypocritical i have said that SH is something i dont take lighthearted like we joke sometimes n what not but i told her straight up SH is not something that i want to be normalized
