>>33300330 (OP)>I've been cutting myself since the late 00s>>33300436>I cut before I registered it was a dick-measuring fad.I was dating girls in the early 00s who were all in on the cutting trend. Shit goes back to the 80s afaik, and it was 99.999% only girls who did it except for like one kid who was so far off the deep end he claimed to be a werewolf who could heal super fast which is why he cut himself but anyways
>Yes, I'm a man. Yes, I was molested.hey man I was molested too and I'm a guy as well and to each his own I guess, but cutting is SUCH a girl thing to do. I guess you can chase after goth zoomer girls and fit right in though.
>I want to stop, but how?find a manlier outlet
I used to go out to metal concerts and shove people around and get shoved in the mosh pit, get a good sweat on and leave your worries on the floor.
I started to go to the gym and running a lot because the metalhead lifestyle leads to being fat, pretty much 99.99% of guys at the gym are "fighting demons" or whatever every time they're lifting so hard their eyes are gonna pop out of their head. I find that going for runs really clears my head better than anything else.
or do what streamers do and like bully 12 year olds in video games, and then have le epic meltdown and like shatter your 500$ keyboard over your face and throw your controller through the nearest wall when you lose the video game match.
>Would also appreciate advice on treatment that isn't tatting.If you're not getting tattoos you just gotta own it. I actually have a couple of scars from cigarette burns, though I don't think I was consciously upset ( I was very drunk) and hthey're just there now. Scars are proof that you're alive.
and you can just lie and be like "I was defending an old lady from a pack of teenagers wielding tiny box cutters"
