I AM SUCH A HYPOCRIT!!! i just realized that tonight. Friends of mine or ppl on yn i.m. me about cutting and SI and i always tell them "oh no dont do it, your better than that" and all sorts of other stuff. When i at the same time I am holding a !@#$ing knife!...Im always telling people the exact oposite of what i do to myself.
I ws just wondering does anyone else in hear have this problem???...specifically if you SI. i dont know if it is a common thing among cutters??
Speechless, i'm always in the very same place. Your not a hypocrit you are just looking out for them. The only thing that would label you a hypocrit is if you were saying that people who cut are stupid....and put them down, make them out to be the bad guys. So, i think that you are safe on this one.
It can be addictive. The only reason I ever even started cutting was because of my temper. Not just a little spark of anger, but full blown rage. Hatred. That sort of thing. I started cutting simply because I thought it was better to hurt myself than to hurt others. Then again, I took control and I don't have that problem anymore. As for others, I can just simply advise not to cut. It should be taken into complete, serious consideration of what you are actually committing youself to.

Yeah, I'm sorta like that, last year in 7th grade, i carved a cross into my upper arm on my left arm, i was showing it to my friends and one of my teachers saw it and i got sent to the nurse about it, and she ended up calling my house which resulted in me getting my hobbie knife taken away, I warn people against cutting because i know the conciquences (sp?) but i still want to do it. Do you think that it might be an addiction speechless, like being an acholic type of addiction, or like drugs, you do it once and you are hooked? Still i do warn you all against cutting yourself.

The trouble happens when your tactics for helpin others no longer works for yourself. Your not alone, but keep up the fight, its the only thing that will help you survive.

Oh yaah that thought sounds familiar . Think of it this way maybe you are not a hypocrite . Maybe you know everything about it so u are just warning other people off . And maybe im just trying to justify myself...........
