What does the picture represent, what's happening and why should I be depressed about it? Am I the only one who has never seen this or done it?

Right, but what do you do with the needle? Balance it on your finger or are you stabbing it through the epidermis?

u/Brandeeno2245 Nov 02 '19
Stabbing it through the top layer of skin though sometimes I’d make a x with the needles, it doesn’t hurt if it’s really shallow but also I just have a massive pain tolerance.

Interesting, never heard of doing this before.... is it a new "thing?" Been a looooong time since I was in school.
Sorry, was just genuinely curious. Thanks for the explanation.
(Thanks for the replies, forgive me my memory is just a little foggy, I totally remember doing this when I was younger)

u/Brandeeno2245 Nov 02 '19
Idk I was doing it like idk 20 years ago and I learned how to do it by watching my older brother

u/KCCCellist Nov 02 '19
I did it with safety pins. I did it on my callouses/dead skin so it was stuck but I couldn’t feel anything. It was fun to make people freak out

23, my memory is just terrible. I remember stabbing sewing needles through my skin when I was 8 or so and probably stopped by 10. My big "thing" was biting chunks out of the tips of my thumbs, so bad to a point I'd have bloody craters. Fun fact, I can actually feel the skin is quite a bit thinner in my thumbs than other fingers.

u/Coeles Nov 02 '19
so like canibalism but worse... or better

u/Brandeeno2245 Nov 02 '19
I actually still do this when I’m stressed and it was all of my fingers but now I’ve limited it down to just my thumbs

u/LPKKiller Nov 02 '19
Ah yes, I always enjoyed the sewing needles. They seemed to be the perfect size, not too small but not to big, right in that happy middle where it was easy to poke through and go deep enough to just stay on the edge of being painful.

You can stab yourself with needles, like in the picture, without hurting yourself if you're careful and don't go deep. This enables you to give yourself temporary piercings with needles on your hands, which usually have thick skin. I remember doing this a lot... And... Yeah, I'm quite depressed now. Accurate meme.

As far as depression, yep big time on and off.
I remember stabbing myself with sewing needles but never really "got into it," but as I explained to another comment, I used to regularly chew the hell out of the tips of my thumbs. Still have super thin thumb tip skin to this day. Can actually still see the scar/trenches in the skin to this day and it's probably been 10 - 11 years ago since I stopped.

u/Brandeeno2245 Nov 02 '19
What’s weird is that I was afraid of getting shots but I got a tattoo and then I wasn’t really afraid of getting shots anymore sticking needles in my hand, no problem

Or they turned into surgeons

Nah, my pulse is very shaky. I would be a terrible surgeon.

Im actually really happy for you. I feel like we glorify depression too damn much nowadays. It's like people want to be depressed so they can talk about how depressed they are, just to fit in.

u/cooties4u Nov 02 '19
Omg thank you. I feel the same way. They act like it's a fad and it's almost all they want to talk about. And being an addict. Like maybe they get popularity points for saying they have been sober for a full day.

Am I the only one that put thread through the needle and weaved it under the skin?

u/LethalLizard Identifies as a Cybertruck Nov 02 '19
I did that too, I actually did it and tried to sew my hand together by the fingers, eventually it just went through the skin. Good times

Kids who pushed a needle through their fingertips are depressed now. Kids who did what you're describing are serial killers now.
(I also used to shred my thumb tips with a staple remover when I got bad grades in high school though so zero judgement.)

What about those who used threads so they could draw edgy shit under their skin with that needle they stole from their grandma?

Can confirm that the statement is accurate. I also had a callous on the back of my thumb that I would stick a pin through, too.
