I may be a bit different to most (I am in pretty much everything lol!) as I was having urges to SI for 7 or 8 yrs before I actually did it though I didn't always connect my urges with the end result or anything, it was a bit strange.
1.What did you think of SI before you even started?
I thought it was something people did when they were having a hard time. I never thought of it as an attention seeking thing, I alway thought it was a sign of deep emotional pain and that the people who did it needed help and support from others. I kind of felt sorry for people that did it and wondered what must have gone on in their lives to make them feel they needed to hurt themselves.
2.What did you think of the people who did it?
I didn't feel they were attention seeking or anything just that maybe they werre NORMAL people but had a few problems that they were struggling to cope with and maybe that something really bad had gone on in their lives and they had no other way they could feel to cope with it.
3.If you have seen SI scars on people how did you react to them?
The first time I met one of my mates I saw scars on her arms and I just saw them and noted that they were there, wondered what had happened for her to do it but saw her as a normal person and nothing else. It was just something that she'd done that may have been different to what other people had done.
