Usually works a treat, mostly because people who know me well and didn't know i cut are so shocked that i actually do.
Does depend on my mood though. I can handle a joke, hell ill even join in if I feel like it. But the way i think is that as a SHer i know where the line is, they probs don't.
I agree with Silent Boy....most of the time I can handle (and make) self-harm jokes....in the right company at least. I think you are brave to admit it to people as well....and no you are not in the slightest bit emo :p

Lol.
Jenna called me emo the other day. :p
For me, the word emo is short for emotional so erm I don't really understand the issue. Stereotypes are things to be laughed at, people believe that stuff! :/
Self-harm jokes and stuff can be great in the right company. For example, people who are really comfortable with each other.
O and I agree with the words of The One Who!
