Because it's the fckng pandemic, here's my take on this video:
1. You run away from your emotions. Not really, I can't really do anything except self harm myself, it's the most relieving feeling because with pain, I know it hurts.
2. You are ashamed of who you are. Because when have a narcissistic mother, you'll know your place in the world, second to nothing.
3. Belittling your own achievement. Because the achievement was only attained after so many attempts, it's not even to be celebrated for by the time you achieve it because you must have memorized it by then
4. You internalized what's bothering you. Well, you're not wrong but not right either. Internalizing helps the next time you fckd up, you wouldn't blame yourself because it's so naturally you.
5. Constantly feel bad for yourself. Self pity is a friend. Bottom line you have a choice but easier said than done.
6. You don't prioritize taking care of yourself. I do, actually, I serve myself but I don't think a healthy lifestyle is a big help. I'm pessimistic because I know, there will always be a moment that shit will do its thing.
7. Self sacrificial. Well, I'm a robot. In a sense, I feel good doing things for others but at the same time, leads back to no. 3
8. You hard to let go, you hold grudges. because anger is the easiest emotion that a person can feel and get out of oneself.

I'm super late but like I think I related to one. I internalize my emoitions. I burst out when I'm excited or angry, but when I'm sad, it's obvious despite how much I try and cover it up with a smile and a few words.
I say I'm fine Yeah, why wouldn't I be okay? But I'm lying. I like to be honest, but I lie a lot more than I realise. I built a ton of walls to just cover up my sadness and fear. I think that's why it's so hard for me to even say I'm not having a good day I can't say that, because there are many things that could happen.
The person mood could drop, we could argue, they'll ignore me, or worst of all, they'll hate me.
I've hidden how I feel so that others don't have to worry, I haven't talked to my friends in almost a whole year, I know I should, but I just don't want to, I miss being me, the real, happy, me.

When anyone even attempts to help me, of course I get irritated and upset. Of course I push away any attempt of getting better. Of course no one likes me. Who would want to deal with such a nuisance like me?
I just hate when people try to fix me by forcing me to do normal things. If I wanted to be normal, then I would have gotten the motivation to do them at my own pace. Sometimes, I avoid doing normal things like going outside and talking to people. And other times, I lay in regret of could have been if I have bothered to take control of my life.
If you really want to help someone, then let him or her grow at his or her own pace. Forcing change upon him or her will only make him or her grow distant from you and ruin your chances of having a stable relationship with him or her.

what about when the person self harming, initially non physical but that thru self sabotaging can lead into serious illness or any other type of physical harm, is doing it unconsciously, and that not being physical self harm is the only thing is not part of a borderline personality disorder but all the rest are. What about a bpd with non physical self harm: ? Being non conscious on top of it. Non conscious and non physical but self harming nonetheless. Just asking. Is people nowadays diagnosed with bpd when the self harm is non physical initially but finally ends up in physical harm: ? For example by following up with bad decisions made while triggered or acting on pure impulse/reaction.

My way to self harm is. C-tting which is my way to try to forget my feelings and I hate my self And I hate how I relate to ur videos while I can't have a professional help because I can't. My parents are abusive mentally and emotionally they never gave a shit about me trying so hard but I'm struggling people are better than me because of their parents and my parents never cared or gave me the life I need I'm grateful but my dad and mom hide everything from me even happiness and I can't have what other ppl have even tho my parents have money but they just don't try to give me what makes me happy and escape reality so I self harm with cutting. It's the easiest to do

Hahaha I don't even have money to run away from my feelings.
I wonder how could I still be sane up until this day.
I relate to the accomplishment one.
After watching that trophy scene I realized that I've never think of graduation as an accomplishment.
I just think it's normal. Everyone graduate. Nothing's special.
I don't have any accomplishment indeed.
My life is a failure.
I am worthless.
I always said these things to myself and I feel that it's true.
It probably is.
I can't remember something I proud of today. I literally do nothing's productive.

I just played my favourite game to reward myself for trying hard or studyng hard after failing the quiz yet I still cried and feel worse about myself and started to think that I'm not smart, useless, etc. Plus I just heard my parents praised someone's child for being independent and I know I didn't meet their expectation of being independent because I was sheltered and pampered. Though I'm already trying my best to be helpful and independent as well but still, whenever I heard them praising someone I still get jealous.

This is me.
Im gonna reach a point where I will get past graduate school. And I feel like it wont be an accomplishment. Its just $60, 000 in debts.
My failures are something I seem to magnify. Hell I slap myself in the face when things dont work out: losing in video games, not getting straight As in grad school, etc.
im concerned that I will lose everyone along the way just to get accomplishments.

Now I hate myself so much and I hate that I feel bad all the time, and I hate the fact that I don't deserve to feel the way I do, and therefore do deserve to feel bad and hate myself

I know that I'm too much of a people pleaser, and that the way I live and work at my job is pretty much killing me (no days off, not taking breaks or even drinking water, coping by drinking alcohol when I get home) but I don't know how to change anymore. Maybe I just need to flip the entire table, even if that means losing my current work and friendships to start anew. Certainly sounds appealing.

in my opinion, you shouldnt call it emotional self harm. because self harm is causing physical pain to yourself. the wording can cause confusion and can be misleading. you shouldve called the video more along the lines of ways you may be causing pain to yourself emotionally or something without self harm in the title, because emotional pain is not self harm.

So I'm not sure If I'm just really messed up or if I'm just a terrible person for thinking this, but I often want my situation to be worse to where I deserve it. Like I kind of wish I had an even bigger eating problem so I could push myself to not eat(sorry this was not meant to offend anyone with an eating disorder! Just taking a step and sharing my thoughts)

Damn. I do all of these. It just hurts to know I'm this way. I wish my depression wouldn't describe who I am. I also have autism and anxiety and I hated life since 2nd grade after my first experience with bullying. Luckily I go to therapy so i dont have to bottle everything up.

To be honest, I didn't really know that emotional self harm was a thing, and ended up treating my mental health as a joke because my family didn't seem to care. The only time someone seemed to care was when my brother would chew me out for making self-deprecating jokes.

Regarding my view towards myself, I view myself extremely negatively and don't think I deserve my accomplishments at all, as well as always feeling bad for myself but feeling guilty for it, if that makes sense. I had no idea this term existed.

I had all of these things when I was younger. I was defeatist, I played things on repeat to cope with the emotional pain. It was the emotional equivalent of smoking cigars.
