Why do people self-harm/cut themselves?

I know what it's like to be depressed, but it never really crossed my mind to cut myself.

Not judging anyone in anyway, but why do you do it? Doesn't it just create more pain?

This post should come with a trigger warning for people who do self harm

It's not to offend anyone; I just want to know and get a better understanding of why it happens.

@MegaManX97: i get that. An ex of mine cut herself. These descriptions could trigger her. That's all I'm saying
