Piercing your own ear with a sewing needle

OK. I hate stereotypes. But there's a load of chavs around here that seem to be peircing their ear, SOBER, on their own, at their house, with a sewing needle.

Sorry but what's the difference between that and self harm ? And smoking and self harm ? And drinking and self harm ? It's all self harm.

Confused :/
 
What's wrong with it?
Let people who want to smoke smoke, let people who want to stab a needle in their ear stab a needle in their ear.
I have no problem with people who self-harm for recreational reasons(which is basically, well, only one person and he rarely does it), it's only the reasons. Most people who self-harm, in the conventional sense, are depressed.
It's silly to act like there's a bigger stigma towards conventional forms of self-harm than like unconventional forms. You see people boasting about how they don't smoke or how they don't get drunk every Friday night(which I honestly think is pathetic[the boasting, not people doing what they want to do]), but no one really goes around boasting about how they love life and think stabbing themselves is icky.

You'd find that most people actually pierce their ears with a needle and thread, that's how they used to pierce ears back in the good old ye days. :P

But that would be pretty painful. :thumbsdown:

But self-harm imo is just a different issue, it normally just ends up affecting people and themselves at the end of the day.
 
I guess I'm biased because I'm a self harmer/WAS a self harmer. But. I'd always tell my mum that she smokes and I self harm. And that self harm is perhaps healthier. I kinda regret making this thread tbf. Because there's a lot of conflicting issues and opinions. So yeah. But. Meh.

I have nothing against smokers or drinkers. I'm just saying. They harm you and you do it so aren't you self harming by partaking in smoking ?
 
It's the reasons why. Not the health.
I don't get why depressed suicidal people care about their health.
If I was depressed and suicidal I'd be smoking, getting drunk, taking drugs, etc. because I wouldn't be planning to like that long.
I don't plan to live past 50 or 60 tbh so I'm not really paying attention to my health right now.
I've ordered some stuff online for health though so I might give eating healthy and shizzle a go.

Click to expand...

When I was depressed I smoked loads, drank loads, self harmed loads, overdosed loads, pulled hair out loads, a lot of dangerous behaviours. Not to mention strangling, hanging, and jumping in rivers.
 
Jumping in a river sounds fun tbh.
I might try that sometime.
I suppose it can go a bit pear-shaped though.

I have never self-harmed like that; I put several holes in my earlobes with corsage pins but I don't consider that self-harm. It's more hygienic (if done right) than having someone shoot a stud into your ear from a gun that has tiny bits of someone else's blood spatter on it. I don't see why using a hollow needle is better either, because what's wrong with just pushing the displaced flesh away rather than punch a hole in it like a hole puncher? People stretch their earlobes all the time.


I tried to cut myself first with a pen and then with a knife, but it hurt. And if I committed suicide it would be by heroin overdose, because it's priobably not painful, and I DEFINITELY would not do it by cutting (messy and gross), oral drugs (don't want to be found with my head in a pool of vomit; that would spoil the effect), hanging (|I| think breaking one's neck, whether accidentally or on purpose, is horrifying and gross somehow in its own way, and I hate things cutting into my throat), drowning (painful for me when I accidentally inhale water), burning (obvious), fall to my death (scary and gross), starvation (painful), stabbing or slitting my throat (gross and painful), electrocution (have you ever seen The Green Mile?), beheading (gross, painful), shooting (might botch it and wind up crazy or stupid for the rest of my life, and it's gross), gassing (you have heard of what went on in the Auschwitz gas chambers, right?) even heroin overdose if I didn't do it right, and I might need someone to help me, keep injecting me after I pass out.
 
If I was to ever kill my self it'd be falling because I just think it's an amazing way to die tbh.
EMZ=]
 
Yeah. And it'd have to be late and in a remote place. I don't want to cause trauma to anyone.

I always found public suicide to be better, actually. Like, I shoot enough smack to kill me, near a public place, then rush out in public and just fall down.
 
Someone just recently jumped off the empire state building. someone my age. :(

someone i know pierced themselves with a needle and it got infected and their cartilage rotted off. oops.
 
I sometimes have daydreams about having nothing left to lose, giving a speech in front of thousands of people, then pulling put a pistol and shooting myself dead, and not botching it.
 
According to the article there is a 10 foot barrier on the observation deck, which he climbed over in front of 7 or so people and jumped.
