it is me that does that, but i dont really see it as a problem

i read all these stories about people "cutting" to "bring them into reality" or to "feel pain because thats better than feeling nothing", yadda, yadda, yadda and it just doesnt apply

im not making fun of those people, its just something that im ignorant about

so, its strange to me that i could be exhibiting similar behavior, but for such different reasons

is it some subconscious desire to make myself ugly (trust me, the scars from keeeping a wound open for almost a year are in fact hideous) or something else? could it be just a bad habit?

is the behavior in and of itself "bad" or does it depend of the reasons for doing it

i dont know
i was just kinda shocked to see what i do lumped in with these other things

> Yes it is. If it is you that is SI, please let us know so we can be supportive. (several of us on this site do this type of 'coping' behavior) take care, judy
