When are self harm cuts valid?

When are self harm cuts valid?

I feel like people generally don't consider more shallow small cuts as a valid form of self harm. I had to show a nurse my cuts the other day, and he showed no concern, even seemed a bit annoyed. Probably because he thought I had serious cuts and was dissapointed that it was just cowardly "larping" cuts. My parents also don't care. They saw my cuts before and they just look annoyed. They don't care if I continue or not.

I had a mental break the other day and thought about seeking therapy. But after seeing the scars people have here and seeing the nurse be annoyed, I decided against it. I am most likely just being overdramatic and should just fix things myself. But I just want a definitive answer. Because people always say that all SH is valid and that there is nothing wrong with seeking help. But the same people always look annoyed and dissapointed when they find out my problems aren't serious.

So, do you all think that shallow small cuts like these are valid, or is it honestly not that serious? I just need a definitive answer.

Men bragging and laughing about supporting each other cheat

Men gladly proclaim that they would support and cover up their bro cheating on his gf. Because I guess decieving, humiliating and breaking the trust of a woman who loves them is just that funny to them. Men would rather want to be friends with their low-life backdtabbing friends than help a woman who is activly being degraded.

"Men protect women": a generational lie

For decades men have been propped up as the "protectors". Media has portrayed men as selfless and heroic, protecting women from all sorts of danger. Now, in current day, there is a consesus in male spaces that protecting and helping women is no longer worth it. Why? Well because every woman is an insidious bitch, itching to ruin any unsuspecting man's life. These men complain about everything from false SA accusations, being thrown in jail on the spot, to women simply not being grateful. This is usually followed up with these men mocking women, repeating a variation of "they are strong independent women, aren't they? They can help themselves, I'm not risking it".

The fact is: this is an awfully convenient excuse. Men have never been protectors. Further, men lack selflesness and kindness to anyone but themselves. If we overlook the fact that men always have been and still is one if the biggest dangers to women, at best men simply do not care about womens' safety, they never have. The idea that men are natural protectors is a myth that has been spread by the patriarical society because it gives men false confidence without these men ever needing to actually prove themselves. And when they *do* have to prove themselves, they flaunder and protects their own skin. But because "men are natural protectors" is a commonly accepted idea, they can use every excuse to excuse their selfishness. "She had it coming, what was she wearing, she shouldn't have done that/been outside so late, she should have known better". Because, *obviously* it can't be the mens' fault.

So, when *every woman is on the verge of falsely accusing a man* these men are justified in never actually stepping up and fufilling a gender norm *they have created*. I, for one, have *never* in my life had a man stick up for me in any situation. But I *have* experienced men looking in awe, and almost amusement(?) As I have been harassed and threatened by men.

Please do note that nobody should be forced to sacrifice their safety or life for other people (except if that is literally your job). But to parade around for decades claiming to be a protector, you don't get to hide like a coward and make excuses when it's time to show up.

Having features that are both ugly and rare

It is one thing being ugly and having ugly features. But it's another thing having ugly features that a minority of people have. The majority of people in my country have attractive features and bodies. So I stand out in a very bad way. It adds another layer of humiliation.

It feels like my SH isn't "good enough"

I don't have the guts to go all the way and really go deep. I only have surface level scars. But I really just want to go deep and get those deep visible scars. Because then my feelings would be valid. But I'm a coward and I'm scared of losing motor function by hitting a nerve. My shallow nothing-burger scars makes me feel like a larping loser. I'm a coward who don't have the guts to actually do it properly.

I'm a bad person, and I'm tired of pretending that I'm not

Not only is beautiful women pushed down my throat by media, but every single woman has to be sweet, charming, kind and confident as well. In stories with "judging people for their personality rather than looks" the female character is, first of, never actually ugly because god forbid an actual ugly woman is given grace, but she is always selfless and an amazing person. I'm sorry but I'm a spiteful and hateful person. I don't hate groups, but individuals. I'm bitter and vengeful, and have insane anger issues. I'm also just very selfish and apathetic. I genuinly can't bother caring about the contents of other peoples' life. I'm a bqd person, and I'm tired of pretending that I'm not.

Because the thing is: I try. I try so hard to be kind and attentative. I try to force myself to be chill and understanding. I always listen to my loved ones complaining or sharing happy moments because I know how important it is to be seen and heard. But deep down, I couldn't give less of a shit. I force my emotions in check at the slightest inconveniences and disrespectful encounters. But I so strongly want to choke everybody around me.

I'm tires of the notion that you should "just work on yourself and be charismatic". Yes, everyone can improve and become a better person. But acting like our personality is completely malleable is disingenious and simply wrong. By that definition we could all in theory become exact clones of each other. But I think everyone knows that we are all unique individuals exactly because we have a set of unique genetic traits. I'm sorry but my anger issues are never going to dissapear, I will always be selfish, and my lack of empathy is not fixable. I have no personality to fall back on because I am an inherently bad person. And that fundemental fact will never change.

Edit. Interesting how I described so many traits, yet people lasered in on the anger issues for some reason. Almost like most people actually know that there are limits to how much we can change so they only point out the one specific trait that can be semi-changed.

Waves looking greasy and stringy

After trying a wavy hair rutine multiple times, my hair just comes out looking like this. I try not to use too many products and not too much either. It generally just gets frizzy regardless of how I treat it.

Daily reminder that all men, especially incels and lonely men, have high standards, and would actually not date "any woman that likes them back"

Most, if not all men*,* have high standards. They only want the most attractive women. Yet they desperatly want to be the poor oppressed gender. "Women are so shallow, women dont like most men while men like most women!!". Mind you, the stats they love to pull out are multiple years old, taken from a dating app, with less than 100 participants. They have no other counter evidence, because it doesn't exist.

Go to any "Do men like x, y" on any askmen sub, and you can easily see that this holier-than-thou attitude is complete bs. They like conventionally attractive women, they have very specific standards, but have to settle for anything below. And when they settle, they act like they have done you a favor.

And naturally, they are just so non-shallow and open-minded, you see. They have such low standards that they are willing to decieve some ugly woman into thinking that he actually likes her. But he likes all of you or something, so its fine that he lied about finding you attractive and the fact that he never preferred you! /s

Most men lie about this, but many are genuinly stupid enough to not understand that the male brain filters out women it doesn't like. They only acknowledge conventionally beautiful women, and therefore they think these women are average. Thats why they gloat about liking average normal women....

I thought my hair was fixed, then the rutine didn't work again...

My hair has always looked like this. Some weeks ago I tried the Color wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, and my hair magically transformed. It was shiny, smooth, and made it look like I had used a Straightener. When I tried to replicate what I did, I wasn't able to get the same results. So I'm back to normal.... The first two images are of when my hair is dry, the last two is my hair when wet. When my hair is dry it tend to be even more "stringy" than in the picture. I'm pretty sure I don't have wavy hair. I have tried a curly hair ruitine, but my hair just looks worse or just as bad.

Why does my hair act this way?
