Do You Self-Harm or Consider Yourself at Risk?

I would obviously guess that most people here would consider that. I haven't self-harmed years. Once in a while... I'll think about it, but thoughts like that quickly dissipate. Basically I started to understand that selfishness and selflessness are two sides of the same coin.

I used to feel really guilty and un entitled in life... but then I started to feel like everyone was... well... stupid. I think for people struggling with depression as a trigger for self-harm, it helps to try to be... narcissistic. I started to get obsessed with myself.

Every time I would think of self-harm I would think "Why should I change for them... they should change for me!" It was like, I looked at the self-harming as a sign of submission to the population. "They should submit to me!" I would think.


Can you guys relate to this on any level? I haven't really found someone that's had this mentality. It's like my inferiority complex switched completely... almost not even to a healthy level... maybe there's no "healthy" level. It's probably a spectrum.
