The thing is, & I'm going to challenge this, those of you that say you don't want to stop self harming & why is it so bad if it's not damaging anyone else, if you believe self harm isn't bad, why do you want to hurt yourself in places people can't see?

Surely if part of you didn't see self harm as so bad you wouldn't wear long sleeves/shorts/ etc, you wouldn't mind who saw it because hey, using your logic here, self harm isn't bad.

Agreed, and well phrased!
I do consider my self harm to be fairly normal. I'm not ashamed of it. I wear short sleeves and shorts. If someone asks, I tell them. It is not my problem if they don't understand.
