i like having my arms full of scars
i feel like its kinda cute and beautiful in its own way
though i feel a bit weird because i never see any guy cut themself

The vast majority of men who cut wear long sleeves always so you wont notice them. Thats because men who do it are much less likely to do it for attention, and are normally more ashamed of it so hide it, unlike in media and drawings. Easy way to tell is in summer as there will be random guys wearing long sleeves and shorts. Those are often the ones cutting.

>everyone knew the whole time

Why the fuck do people even cut themselves if it's not a genuine attempt to kill yourself or for attention?

>>81489209
probably to feel something, self loathing is hell

>>81489209
Not OP but I'm a masochist. Don't cut anywhere visible. I think it looks very nice on my skin. Like the taste, look, feel.
Just fun to me.

>>81489209
I did it very briefly in middle school. I was really depressed and struggled with abuse, but also extremely privileged. I wanted to prove to myself that my problems were serious. I think some people do it to punish themselves, or as a paraphilia.

>>81489209
never cut but i hit myself a lot just to feel something. like man you have no idea. i was sane enough to not inflict any permanent damage but god damn. brain starts feeling funny and doing shit it's not meant to do and BAM, you want to put a bullet in your head.

cutting forearms is always attention seeker shit that i intentionally avoided
i started out on my left shoulder but once i ran out of room to be able to hide that with a t-shirt i switched to thighs and eventually even down on my inner calves because i never really wore shorts anyway
all of them are really faded now as they're all pretty much over 10 years old but some of the ones on my legs still have that slightly raised keloid texture
>>81489209
for me i think it was a way to distract myself from the mental agony i was having. one pain can lessen another pain type beat. naturally, i did not have good coping mechanisms.

>>81489205
Dont worry man, i only know from my own experience i doubt anyone else does probably justs thinks your weird fashion sense.
>>81489209
The chemicals released when you are injured simply are super powerful and addictive simple as. Mini high practically depending on level of blood loss, especially if short or skinny. Mind, this is a small percentage of masochists most are purely for attention.
>>81489300
Actually disagree on this. If you arent cutting for blood loss you are not maximising the benefit of cutting, so cutting forearms is the most efficient place that isnt life threatening.

>>81489342
i don't think i ever cut for blood loss. i think in the moment i mostly found the sensation of my skin coming apart very interesting, and i actually had an interest in stymying the bleeding. i was aware of how a lot of cutters would accidentally do major damage to themselves with all of those fine movement tendons and such in your forearms. so, in addition to avoiding the social stigma, i would also be avoiding the most obvious chances of permanent damage, win win.

>>81489148 (OP)
Can I kiss your scars?

>>81489481
i will be really attached to you if you do that

There's this one guy on /v/ who posts twitter accounts from cutter asian women (his posts include something along the lines of "...unfixable gf!") and that shit is nasty as all hell. Shredded (not in the good way) arms with exposed fat interspersed with cutesy shit. I like landmine girl fashion and light self-harm on a cute girl as much as the next guy, but that stuff is just too much.

>>81489148 (OP)
Are any of these even responses from OP? it's weird if not as this is obivously an attention seeking post, yet it seems like none are.

>>81489950
Good to know desu

>>81490121
yeah but only this one though >>81489950
because i dont know what else to reply

>>81489148 (OP)
>guy cut themself
I do but it's not in visible places

>>81489209
When I first started cutting it made me feel really good, euphoric in a way, it's hard to describe.
Of course when doing something like that feels good you become addicted to it, I think within a six month time span I put around 6000-7000 cuts on most of my body.

I just want to kiss her scars and tell her everything will be okay.

>>81489209
To invoke a survival reflex that results in a feeling of calm.
They can also get basically the same sensation by dunking their face in icewater, but that doesn't give them attention.

>>81489148 (OP)
>Cute and beautiful
Cut deeper next time coward.

>>81491222
>Cut deeper next time
its not going to be cute and beautiful

>>81491222
>basically the same sensation by dunking their face in icewater.
not really, at least for me. Cutting made me feel like my head was floating, like my entire body was weak and relaxed, like I was being hit with waves of relaxation and calmness.
Nothing I've ever done has or will ever compare to that feeling.

This thread is interesting to me, as it clearly depicts the difference between foid cutting and moid cutting, how the girls clearly do it for looks and attention, and how the guys do it for pleasure and thrills. Clearly shown by the two replies above mine and how they respond.

>>81492037
Cutting basically spiced up my very boring but albeit unstable life. I wish I could return to that cause holy fuck life is boring as hell without it.

>>81491539
>like my head was floating, like my entire body was weak and relaxed
That sounds scary as fuck.
I'd hate feeling weak and not in control.
I get why someone might like that, but the thought of being like that honestly scares me.

>>81493079
It was very pleasant, though usually only happened when I cut myself a lot in one sitting.
Probably preshock symptoms I'm describing

>>81491100
my goodness
this kitty is so cute
