Is it still considered cutting if I just use a safety pin to scratch the surface and no blood?

Yes. Cutting is actually self harm, and any harm you inflict upon your self is self harm. It does not matter if you are using a knife, a blade, or a tiny safety pin.

Yes, because you're still intentionally trying to harm yourself.

Whether its cutting is debatable, i guess. but more importantly it is certainly a form of self harm.

Please do not use anything. Cutting or any form of harming yourself is a bad solution to anything. You deserve better than that

Yes. Any form of self harm is still considered "cutting". The reasons you do this are the same reasons for any other form of self harm.

yes it is still cutting and this is still self-harm. Maybe there is no blood, but that is not changing the fact that you are hurting yourself.
