A person who only cares about them self is a?

it is called narcissism, but i think it is perfectly fine to care only about yourself. think, what has ANYBODY ever done for you? Why should you care? there is your family you can care for, but there is always going to be somebody in your family your not going to care for, sometimes to the extent that they dont feel like family anymore. I have 3 sisters and i only care about them. but i hardly ever see them. so in other words, i pretty much only care about me. you can call it selfish, but ask yourself this- does anything in life matter? since knoone is with you ENTIRELEY in life, only you should matter.

What is the reason to emo kids cut themselves?

When a regular person starts to hang around different groups and is exposed to different things at the adolescent age, groups like "emos" tend to develop. This many result in bad influences. They may begin to hang around other "emos," in search of ways to solve their problems. Most "emos" do not concieve in isolation the idea to cut themselves to relieve pain, it is passed on through the cult. Experimenting with different ways to cure their emotional instability, adolescents begin to try new things, whoch may ultimately result in cutting. The final results of this action are mixed, both from the feeling that now, they are, in a way, in control over their own pain, another is that they are punnishing themselves, giving themselves up to suffering because they see themselves unfit to live without it. Probably one of the most important ones, if you ask an "emo" person WHY they cut, they will usually be at a loss for words except the vague statement that it makes them feel better. This is usually because when they cut, their body releases lots of complex hormones and chemical enzymes, giving them a sensation of feeling good, though the consequential pain certainly does not. This combination of the body's functions and the psychological need to punish themselves physically, "emos" are able to cope with their insecurities on their own.I have dated three emo guys and each one of them cuts themselves on a daily bases. They said they do it to get rid of all emotional pain in their life. Also, one of the guys told me that he also cuts himself because it lets him know that he is alive.I am an Emo. You don't need to cut yourself to be emo or vice-versa. Some people tend to stereotype the whole group just because they know some emos who cut themselves, To put it simply, not all emos are cutters.I am an emo. I do not cut myself. Not all emos cut themselves. Some do it because they think it makes them look cool. Others do it because they are lonely and sad.I used to cut myself. I no longer do that. Nowadays, I understand that the pain from cutting my arm only distracted me from the pain in my heart. So, for me, that was the point of cutting myself.... to distract from a pain that hurt more that the cutting.I too am an emo. Some emos do it for attention...others do it because we have real problems and no one to talk to. The word emo stands for emotional problems. The word emo is abbreviation of emotional.I am emo so I will add my opinion: Not all emos cut themselves. In addition, many people who cut themselves are not emo. Some people who cut themselves then wear short sleeves, and practically wave their arms to get attention or help. Other people who cut themselves hide it from others. Mostly, people do it to make them feel better. It can be part of an inferiority complex. Some self-harmers do not like themselves. Some people cut themselves because they feel that they are not as good as everyone else is. Other people cut themselves because they are different from people and feel the odd one out in society. They might hate themselves for being different. Whatever the type of person (emo or not emo), people cut themselves to feel better. I don't care about what people say, but I can tell you straight that it helps.To put it simply: Cutting yourself causes your body to release endorphins. These hormones are designed to dull pain, and consequently make you feel good, in an ironic sort of way.Depressed people cut themselves (only some people, sometimes) because when you cut yourself it releases hormones that make you feel better. If people are cutting themselves just so they can say they are emo, they are most likely doing it for different reasons (to fit into a certain group of people, etc....).
