Self harm. Harming oneself. Why do people resort to doing such things? What goes so wrong in someone's life that the person harms themself. And no I am not talking about suicide. That is a whole different concept. I am talking about injuring your own body by cutting your hand or doing something of the sort.

By my own experience with someone whom I know, I can tell you that sometimes it is out of frustration. Things aren't the way you would like them to be in your life, and you harm yourself to take out the frustration. As ridiculous as it may sound, it is true and it happens. And let me tell you, living with people who behave in this way sometimes is not easy. You have to maintain your calm otherwise their thoughts and their harmful ways would rub off on you before you know it.

Many people can get affected if somebody behaves like this in front of them regularly. At first, you will get used to it, you'll think it is normal. Then before you know it, you can also be the one who is doing self harm. If you would talk to someone, who is in the habit of doing something like this regularly, and ask them why they do so, you know what they will tell you?

They will say that the blood that flows and that pain gives them satisfaction. Or that the pain gives them a distraction from the stuff happening in their lives. It's psychotic, I know, but this is the truth with some people. How can your own blood loss give you satisfaction is totally out of my understanding.

The people who think and behave like this are in need of serious help. They need attention and consultation from from someone professional. Whatever the problem is in your life, it most definitely won't be solved by cutting your hand. If you know someone who is like this or ever meet someone who has such a habit, talk to them and try to make them understand that harming your own self will only give you scars and not the solution of the problem.

There are also some people, who do this just to get sympathy. And that is the worst of this kind. I mean, just think about it. It is so sick to hurt yourself to get sympathy from people!! I don't even know what to say about that.

Anyways, what are your views about this?? Do you know anyone who does such things? Let me know in the comments or dm me if you want. The response to this book has reduced drastically. I know it is my fault as I am not updating regularly. But I'll try to be regular. Do vote and comment.
