A few points were raised earlier
1) I used to cut on my wrist/arm but i couldnt hide it that much, so i started cutting on my legs/stomache. That is the reason i cut there, because i am a ashamed of it. I dont so much "disagree" with not hiding it, obviously its personal choice but i dont feel conformfortable with ti really. Obviously walking about in -5 is a short sleeved top with cuts all over can be considered attention.
2) I know loads of people who have tried ir or done it a few times, but i wouldnt consider them "self-harmers" i use that term to describe someone who constantly uses self harm as a coping method - not someone who's tried it a few times, which is what most people have done, who i know. Just because someone has cut once or twice when they were 13 does NOT make them a self-harmer in my opinion.
Also, the fact it is so common, or so many people have tired it makes me feel as though im not "ill enough" or "i cant feel that bad then if everyone does it". so yeah
