Why does everyone think people who self-harm or try to commit suicide just want attention?

Generally? Because people come to your aid when you're experiencing that degree of mental distress. And honestly, some people do make empty threats for attention. Not that I condone it. I think that making people feel unimportant for wanting to kill themselves only perpetuates that feeling of self-hatred.

Some may perceive self-harm or suicide attempts as attention-seeking behavior due to lack of understanding mental health issues or stigma. In reality, these actions often stem from underlying emotional pain and a need for help or relief. It's important to approach these situations with empathy and support rather than judgment.
