Why do some people?

[Freakazoid87953]

I'm Not really sure where this belongs buti'm going to ask it here anyway.
Why do some people take and post photos of their injuries and put them on the internet? like on youtube and stuff? I'm not judgjing the people who do put things online im just wondering why they do it. i could never even think of putting photos online iwould be to scared of someone i know seeing it..?

I haven't put pictures on the internet and don't think I could either so not sure how much help I am but my guess is it's that persons way of communicating their distress.

That thread actually includes the topic of posting/viewing/keeping pictures of self harming and reasons for it, so that may help some?

I guess for some people its a way of expressing there emotional pain. Because people in real life cant see how much they are hurting.

I dont really know.

But Im sure they have there reasons and are not to be judged for it.

I agree they definitely shouldn't be judged for it.

I've never done that, but I have typed bruises into web search engines as a comfort thing. I would never post pictures of my own injuries for fear of someone seeing.
