when I selfharmed I didn't think it was for attention because I rarely showed it and when I did I got extremely uncomfortable when people asked me about it. That is except for one person whom I could really confide in when he asked me what happened. But now almost two years later I guess that it really was kind of for attention because I wanted someone to notice that I wasn't doing well and maybe even because I myself could't see how unwell I was at times (I'm really bad at knowing what my body wants to tell me so when I get really tense my body told me to selfharm because afterwards I was feeling better when in reality all I needed was a good hug or to cry). I don't necessarily think that selfharming for attention is wrong because that's their way of saying: please ask me what's wrong, please be there for me, I can't do this on my own. Maybe they just can't put it into words. I don't know if I'm making sense right now, that's just how I feel about it.
