This is a poor way of getting attention. If you want attention and someone to take care of you, then say "I'm really hurt and want someone to talk to".

There are good people in life who will understand that you are hurt when u tell them you are hurt. Just because your inner circle has people that don't recognize your feelings when you get hurt, such that you resort to physical torture to get attention, it doesn't mean that the inner circle represents people in general.

Most people are good. Try to speak nicely to get help

I'm not trying to get attention. I'm trying not to cut

Okay. The best way to not cut is to look at the function of your Behaviour.


Are you trying to escape pain by cutting?
Are you trying to gain an item by cutting?
Are you trying to get someone's attention by cutting?


If so, then use good ways to achieve the same function. You can escape pain by talking to someone. You can get attention by talking to someone.

This is the means to not cut.

@rokrchik1211: the best way to escape pain/fire is to seek help and have a safety plan for next time.

In times of fire you call 911. In times of pain you should call some friends or message ur girl friends on SW.

For future, you should do mock fire/pain drills and get in to the habit of resorting to ur safety plan instead of self injury.
