Is it bad that i never cut myself growing up?

When I was a teenager with autism, I never cut myself to deal with my emotions as I had a hard time expressing them appropriately. This may sound hypocritical, however I had the thoughts of cutting myself but I never attempted to because I don't like the sight of blood as well the act of doing so is painful. I get that some people do this as to relieve them of stress or depression but there's better ways of coping with stress or depression!

    Good for you. People that cut themselves have a deep rooted problem they can't resolve or won't reveal for one reason or another so they cut to punish themselves. That's my theory anyway.

    Yes, it's normal. It's not like you have Borderline Personality disorder, or something. Do you know what I mean?

      Good to know that It's normal to not cut myself during the teen years.

    Normal and sensible. Well done for being intellectual enough not to cause yourself harm, despite wanting to.

      Thank you. I still don't get why people cut themselves to express their stress or depression.
