Why did you have to purge the thread about cutting? I thought that one was quite interesting. Let’s continue here. I am sad to say I have a different twist of the story though…

Most probably something is not right in my head, but I was inspired to do some experiments with cutting my arm. I had never contemplated this before, so choosing the right instrument was already a challenge on its own. I learned that dorm kitchen knives are useless, go for the baseball bat if you need to defend yourself. I settled on using a glass shard.

I was surprised how much pressure I had to apply to actually cause bleeding. First and foremost I just bruised my skin which led to swelling and reddening. Whenever I managed to cause bleeding it stopped quickly and the blood clotted. I do not understand how it is possible to apply cuts your entire arm without visible clotting. Shall I use a razor blade?

It did not even hurt that much. Cutting is just good for the visual effect and making your parents and friends feel guilty. Long sleeves for me.
