That statement right there is so sad to me. Reread that part that you wrote. It annoys you when someone hurts themselves. It doesn’t matter why they do it, they are still doing it.

You even said yourself that you feel that those that are more open about their self harming probably have self esteem issues and self worth problems. You don’t think that is painful to them? You don't think that they too are hurting?

Somehow the same action: self harming, was divided socially into two categories. (Often by those that self harm themselves.) Those that are open about self harm and those that are private about self harm. But at the end of the day, both set of people are doing the same thing. They are both in pain, they both hurt, they both need help and support. There is no “if” “and” or “buts” about it.
