Discussion Self-harm without self hate?

[leangenerator]

Does anyone else self-harm without self hate? I like the way the scars look and i like the process; am I just super ill? I've been wanting to become better but I don't want to stop harming.

I don't hate myself at all and I self harm quite a lot.

I'm the same, the vast majority of my self-harm isn't motivated by negative feelings or self-hate. My scars are one of the only parts about myself I like, honestly....... and. Idk, I just feel this "want" to do it, it just feels good and Right to me, to self-injure.

I always feel like an alien talking about it in SH circles, though, since most other people seem to do it to deal with negative emotions
