>>81587730I can't speak for anyone else just for myself. Back when I used to do it, it was because at times when I felt like I did something very wrong, I felt like I deserved to cut myself, and like there was a great injustice in the world happening as long as I didn't do it. And after I did it, it felt cathartic. It's also important to mention, that those very wrong things were always about my inaction, which led to terrible consequences. So by harming myself there was also this element of feeling like I still have control over myself, and that if I can do that, I can do other things.
