I self harm also, and definitely NOT for attention (nobody knows except for 2 of my best friends, not even my parents, and nobody has ever seen my cuts or scars EVER). But even so, I'm upset by those of you saying that you've "lost respect for SHers" and things like that. If someone self harms, it's for a reason. If they feel neglected or even just crave the attention, hurting themselves is an extreme way of showing that, and the need for attention/affection should not have a social stigma, even if you find it annoying. So what if the person feels like they need more attention? Help them out because they have something bothering them that's no less important than the rest of us self harming for any other reason.
