It does make sense though. Ppl who self harm do it to alleviate any suffering because of the mental pain they’re experiencing. Yes it’s not a healthy coping mechanism but it makes sense if you’re feeling pain and don’t know how to get rid of it or want to distract yourself from any internal pain u turn to that. Obvsss no one is proud of doing it, it’s a sick addiction.
Well if someone sees their friends and people on TV using SH as a coping mechanism and they’ve never been taught healthier ways to cope it would make sense that they’d do something like that. These people don’t do it for fun, they’re desperate to alleviate that pain. Same with eating d1sorders, it’s not really a choice someone wants to make
