You feel the need to cause harm to yourself because your emotions are overwhelming you. It's a way to control your feelings when you feel out of control although it is an unhealthy way to do so.

Because, it feels better if you replace the pain inside you with outside feeling , it would make you feel better but it's only temporary it doesn't last

Possibly because that's the only way you know how to get it out. Perhaps you've bottled many painful things up over the years, or maybe even the past few days, and the only way you know how to cope with said pain is to create more and to take it out on yourself.

Some times we feel the need to find a way to express our feelings and this is how some of us tend to cope with those feelings when no body is listening.

When you are angry you are feeling immense emotions that you may not know how to deal with properly. Self harm is one way people use to cope with their emotions. It gives them a sense of relief, a decrease in negative emotions, or serves as a punishment. There are much better coping mechanisms to try out though! :)

I felt the need to hurt myself when I was hurt because I needed an outlet that I could control. I felt that i had no control except for how I abused myself. But then I got into athletics and that helped me a lot. I eventually was able to quit.

Sometimes when we are angry we feel out of control. You May feel that a way to gain the control you have lost is to control something and in this case it would be pain. The truth is that being angry does not always mean you are out of control. It means that something has occurred that you may not like and it has upset you. Being angry is a natural emotional response.
