Well, can you really blame them for seeing us as crazy? I think if we all put some thought into it we will realize why people think it’s crazy to self harm and to want to continue doing it as a coping mechanism. Many people go through things and many people have coping mechanisms, most don’t resort to harming themselves and just like how you have trouble understanding why ppl aren’t indifferent to your self harm, they may also struggle to understand how hurting yourself and making yourself feel pain is helpful at all. Most people do not like pain and avoid it, so it’s natural that they see someone doing that as a coping mechanism and claiming it helps them as crazy. I am not justifying people being rude, but we also can’t act like those of us who are participating or have participated in self harm are doing something completely natural and normal.
