I don't think anybody would hurt themselves for no reason at all. It's against all our insticts. Cutters use it as a coping mechanism as a way of making life more tolerable. It preserves life. We wouldn't go against all out bodliy insticts for no good reason.
I think there is a reason you cut yourself, even if you don't know what it is yet.
I understand these people saying 'not always'. No, I'm struggling at the moment with urges for no reason at all, when I have every reason not to cut. But I know why I started, and by now it's just an addiction. A habit i'm trying to get out of. But we don't start to cut for no reason.
