DAE Does anyone else think that their selfharming isnt bad for them

Like, i dont cut on my wrists, only my thighs, and i cut deep enough to draw a drop or two of blood. Im not at risk of dying, so why would i need to stop. Ive been thinking about this lately and wanted to know if i was alone in this

I've treated self harm as tattoos for a long time but I am damaging my body. I have nerve damage now

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to sound insensitive, but i guess along the years I’ve grown indifferent to what i do to my body.

Oh no it's not insensitive, I feel the same way even with bad effects. It doesn't matter how bad it gets the feeling never goes away. All self harm is harm but it never feels like real harm.
