It is a way in which you channel your anger. Anger usually makes people do destructive things.

Because you want to feel something else other than anger. If you hurt yourself you won't just feel angry; you'll feel pain too.

because the anger will feel as if you need to clutch onto something or hurt something. the first thing you see is what? your skin, your hair, your body.

It is a coping strategy for unhappy, negative feelings or difficult situations. You may feel it is the only thing you can control or you may feel it is self punishment. Like any compulsion it can become a undeserving habit.

When I'm angry, I tense up to the point where I can't hold it in anymore. I can get violent. But I care for people more than I care for myself. Out of fear of hurting others physically or with my words I feel the need to hurt myself to release the tension. I'm my mind it's me or them. And I could never hurt another person.

Most people think or actually feels slightly better if they inflected pain onto themselves not to extent of losing an organ or so but some shallow cuts, but personally I didn't experience that, I know how they feel though.

When you're angry you can get a slight rush of adrenaline, this makes you want to do the most extreme (possibly) thing you could do in this situation, or you may feel the need to take the emotion out on yourself.

It can vary. One reason is that you're letting out your emotions through pain and another is that you don't feel you deserve no pain. Whatever it may be - there are lots of people, like myself, who can help you. Feel free to talk anyday.

Sometimes we feel such intense emotions that it seems the only way to drain the pressure is to harm oneself. Take a deep breath, step back from your emotions, and try to find another way to relieve the strain. Drink some tea, take a nap, have a good cry, call a friend. Give yourself some distance from the emotions until they don't feel so strong, then start to work through them.
