why

why do people care so much about what you do i mean its your body if you want to cut or not eat then why do it ?y dowe need to act like some 1 were not why try to please anyone eles dont any1 ever get tired of pleasen other people why dont we make are self happy 1st

you're right. the only one you have to prove anything to is yourself.

so why do people care so damn much cant they just leave you alone why make u do the things u hate cant we all just leave every1 els alone and do wat eva the hell u want to

yes im with u

it depends greatly. i say for random people on the internet or anyone else who doesnt personally know you either by family or friendship who would still sleep at night if you did that kinda stuff, then i completely agree, its none of their business. but for people like family or friends who really truly care about you, they care if you cut or dont eat because they are worried about you safety and your wellbeing and all kinds of questions run through their heads like 'what if they cut too deep and theyre lost forever' for those people, i think it is their business. but for people who just enjoy judging, labeling, or causing pain for people, they really should just back off cause they only make it worse.

good point but like i said its my body if im not happy im not tryen to make anyone eles happy they shouldent worry there nothing to worry bout thye shloud tell u 1time and not sit there a nag on u everyday day after day with the same shit

i asked the same thing when i was bulimic and stuff....but i soon realized that these ppl really care about me. and if they think about you and care then you should care.

that's why i choose to be a leader not follower!! =) i hate "wanna be" (anyone who doesn't have a mind of his/her own) that's why i always argue with people (sis, friends, exbf, just about everyone) cuz i want to express my opinions/feelings.. if you like doing something, forget what people think, just do it (nike's slogan) you're you, what do people know about u? they're NOT you, so who cares what they think!! you should follow your heart and do what u think is right.. you shouldn't listen to others (haters) advices.. =)

Geesh. Yet again another thread about the same topic. This has been discussed to death (and that may be literally).

people care because they dont want others hurting themselves when it's not necessary. I'd go completely crazy if I found out one of my best friends was cutting because I care for them so much. I know that after I stopped cutting my brother only just found out I was doing it and he tore shreds of me. And it was the best thing he could do for me. It made me see how silly and completely stupid I was being. And that's why people 'stick their noses' into our business. It's for our own good.

Just mutilate yourself, and a time after you realise mutilation isn't the best way to deal with things, face your regret.

Trust me, it's not fun going swimming these days.

So Megan what you're saying is everyone is WRONG for caring? Interesting.

I don't think that's her point... People shuldn't obsess about what other people do, such as what they wear, their body type, who they go out with, etc. I agree. People need to get out of this middle school/high school popularity contest and just live and let go instead of bothering about others' doings...

No, she was talking about self mutilation. As if people should NOT care about what she is doing to her body. It's not a bad thing that people obsess about what you do especially when you're hurting yourself. You should see that as a GOOD thing. You should LOVE that people care about you. Had we been talking about the clothes people wear and such I would agree but we are on a whole different subject.

It's all in the same. Anything and everything people do seems to be under a microscope. Some people don't want their problems to surface for others to see, because they are protecting them from the reality. people shouldn't pry, but if they do see something that could be detrimental to another's or their own health, they should talk to someone about it. But the more trivial matters should stay under the carpet...

"It's all in the same."

I'm sorry I don't believe self mutilation and the way one dresses is all in the same. It's so far apart. People being all in your "business" after they find out you are starving yourself or hurting yourself in anyway only shows they care. It shows they love you and that they want you to get better.

I know. That's what I'm saying. (See my post on "people who make fun of cutters")

It's definitely NOT what you were saying being that you said, "It's all in the same."

... *throws up my hands* ... okay. Believe what you want. I'm just here, saying what's on my mind. This post was for opinions and I am giving mine. If that bothers you, sorry.

We are discussing Mahi....calm down. That's what this is for...to DISCUSS our different opinions. It happens.

*Sits and watches people talk* If that's supposed to be an apology, okay, accepted. *shrug* No worries...
