depends on what kind of self harm. like cutting and stuff or self destructive behaviors such as drug abuse?

either way, no why would it be? sure it offers temporary release but long term it doesnt really offer anything.

This is really stupid and short sighted.
The base state of existence is suffering, so, there really is no "long term solution" for this (if by long term you mean not coping through some mechanism) other than I would say killing yourself; really the ultimate form of self harm.

Self Annihilation.

It's never worth it trust me

just for tonight let the lines get blurred

>>6232
if you're doing scarification for artitistic purposes: not really, but I'm down for it. if not: no. I never wear shorts for a reason, don't want people asking how I got all these scars all over my body

>>6232
No. Feels good during the moment but is ultimately an impulse decision and a temporary relief. I usually end up feeling worse a few hours after, once I've cooled down and realize that I acted really rashly out of emotions.

Maybe it's because I'd been doing good for so long, maybe its the fact that I'm hiding the fact that I cut again from my partner, but self-harming leaves me feeling worse than better nowadays. Just a bad habit I can't kick I suppose.

What long run?

RUB WHIP CREAM ON ME DADDY

I regret my cutting, but I have no regrets about putting cigarettes on myself. It was essential to the following 5 years.

Yes, my massive gashes in my arm remind me of the things that have caused me great pain and to avoid them in the future.

>>7021
were you raped?

>>7022
Yes but that is not why I cut myself.
I cut myself of romance like a normal faggot.

>>7023
i don't understand; did you cut yourself because you got rejected, or did you cut yourself because you thought the idea of cutting yourself was romantic? also if you didn't get raped you probably wouldn't have done that, so it is because you were raped.

I cut my arms and stuff but I only do that shit because I sharpen my knives and test it on flesh.
I cut my fucking self for shits and gigs, you seem like a faggot and yeah, some girls like that stuff but those girls are AVOID.

>>7030
>I cut my arms and stuff but I only do that shit because I sharpen my knives and test it on flesh.
saying this unironically and then having the nerve to call someone else a faggot. lol

>>7024
I cut myself; I actually attempted suicide because my partner and me split up after 10 years.

>>7043
that sucks, why did you split up?

>>7044
We were off and on the whole time and once while we were broken up she was dating this guy and we ended up having sex behind his back. He found out and she pulled the rape card to save her stupid fucking whore ass.

So fuck her.

>The base state of existence is suffering
This is the 2nd time this year ('23) I encounter this statement. I'd like to believe it, but what about the people who say life is beautiful--or at least: it's not suffering as a base state?

Likely, I won't check on this post although I'm really curious what someone would reply to that. Maybe I'll remember.

>>7064
I'd say the base state of existence is desire, mainly for fulfillment. Only when this desire goes unanswered does it results in suffering.

>>7064
People who say life is beautiful are delusional. They aren't wrong, but, the majority of life is suffering for the vast swat of humanity. Everything in the universe is out to kill us at any point in time. Only very delusional people (or very rich people) think this way.

Self harm is a vice like drinking or drugs
"Is being an alcoholic worth it in the long run"
I dunno, that is for you to decide. Is the relief worth the bodily harm?
I'd say it depends how far you go with it.
I don't regret cutting and I have on and off for 5 years now. Scars itch and have pins and needles pain and oblivious people will ask what happened to you. But idc enough about any of that to stop.

>>6240
There are those who say that the base state of existence is one of ecstasy. I'm not competent enough to judge either way, but I'm sure there are realms of both ecstasy and suffering. Those realms may be of great magnitude. Unbelievable magnitude.

>>7069
Without pain, there is no hapiness without happiness, there is no pain.

If you disagree kys ... literally

If you stress out so much why not fap instead?

I selfharmed when I was a teenager and it's the worst thing I ever did. I am now stuck with a left arm full with scars and I am very ashamed of it. I haven't worn Tshirts outside since I got them even during the heat of summer. I am too ashamed to do things like going to the beach or anything where my arm would get exposed. My scars of the past are ruining my present

>>7259
I also have scars, 6 on each arm. Not too noticeable, given that I also have hairy arms, but it shows in certain light.
I wear tshirts in public all the time, idgaf if people see them. Obviously I don't know your situation, but I would say it's useful to ask yourself why you care what others think. I don't because I have a consistent internal sense of myself, so I don't need to rely on others to figure out my value.
(That value being 0, of course, but I don't tend to care much about that either these days.)

>>7260
my left forearm is completely covered in long deep ones that are impossible to hide and stand out at every moment (My arm hair is very thin and doesn't cover them up in the slightest). In general in my life I try not to care about others and usually that works but I'm not perfect and having the worst mistake of my life clearly visible 24/7 is not fun. I was a stupid teenager going through the worst period of my life overloaded by stress, anger, sadness, hate & in the middle of a psychosis. My mental state is leagues better now and I would never do it again but having that shit is such a great shame haunting me. I have generally also hated showing weakness around others since I was a little kid.

self harm can be just as much of a high as cocaine but much much cheaper, and it's safer than coke or cigs or alcohol. sure if you're trying to compete with others on how deep you can go or don't worry about safety it can land you int he hospital or even dead, but if you don't hit arteries and you clean your blades and wounds I think it's a good way to replace other addictions.

>>7260
Stupid ahh mf as valuable as the most beautiful flower in the universe, still devalues himself to 0.

Fun fact - your existence is CRUCIAL for the rest of infinity to even exist...

It's a temporary high at best. A minor attempt to express yourself. Really, there's much better options out there to do both things. Like getting into fighting at a local boxing ring or dojo. So, yeah, self-harm is pretty pointless
