People that cut themselves... what does it feel and why do you do it?

The "pain" usually is a good distraction from life. Cutting isn't really an addiction, but some do it excessively. They just need to look at themselves and ask why they have the need to hurt themselves and stop. It usually takes someone they love or respect to open their eyes and help them stop. When a person cuts themselves, they usually don't feel much. The body releases a natural pain killer called endorphins. Paper cuts hurt more than razorblades because paper contains chemicals used to make it. Razors are just metal...Really sharp metal.
