i think in the simple terms it is because honestly it issolate you, you fear telling friends, you hold back from relationships, you cant wear what you want or say go swimming (or if you do have to explain or you get stared at or feel uncomeftable).

Naturally a human instinct should be to prevent pain -self preservation & survival-, and as cutters/harmers somehow that is warped so we enjoy the adrenaline and high and even the pain, either to feel, purhaps as a relief for receiving a form of punnishment for feeling rubbish/inadequate or maybe to prove something to the harmers self,

Aside from scars it wont have the same inside physical harm as say being a smoker or taking lots of drugs or being an alcaholic, but emotionally and with the scars too, its jusr not very healthy, I think as a harmer we know that, because its why instinctivley we feel the need to hide it & keep it quite, think i know thats really why i hide it because if i'm being honest i know its not normal behaviour for dealing with everyday life.
