For me it is a mix of mental illness, self loathing and just the need to feel something. Seriously I have rage issues i can be very angry about something so I take it out on myself to avoid breaking something or hurting anybody.

@Sroonaka616 Anger turned inward. I get it. I never cut myself, but I used to hit myself as a kid. Hard.

@Theseus I occasionally do that as well. But sometimes I am drawn to a knife.
