Am I the only one who’s comforted by pictures or videos of other peoples SH? Sometimes I’ll go an a social media app that has a lot of it and it makes my urges a lot less consuming. I almost feel like a bad person for feeling better seeing those things, but it makes me feel less alone in what I feel. Is that messed up?

I use to do that too and then I was told by my ex that was weird so I stopped. But I have thought about it lately. It’s good to know I wasn’t alone.

definitely and sometimes i feel gross for actively looking for images or community’s of people who do what i do. but it does help a lot for me personality but it can also be self destructive when it starts to feel like a competition :/

@dogma I thought I was the only one who felt that way 😭 like why does my brain go right to making it a competition , idk but it makes me feel like a bad person when I think I could do it “better”
It's like living vicariously through others. A lot of the time with SH, it's about *seeing* the results. When scars start to fade, it makes someone feel like they have to replace them. When the scars go away it's almost like you never did it, and that's an uncomfortable feeling for someone who's addicted to SH behaviors. It's more the proof of the act that we get addicted to rather than the act itself.

It's actually pretty common. It doesn't make you a bad person either. I do the same thing sometimes
