People who cut themselves have no self-respect IMO. It's very different from being depressed.

Now if you're both depressed AND have no self-respect, that's an explosive combination I guess.

Well, we need to draw a line, there is depressed, and there is depressed to the point of being suicidal. If you are the latter, and you are cutting yourself, You are reminding yourslef that you are not dead...even though you want to be. What's the sense in that.

There is no sense. If you're suicidal, you kill yourself period.

If you just want attention, there is a number of ways to get it... cutting yourself is one of the most stupid and self-disrespecting ones.
