Self-harm is addictive because it feels like you're releasing the pain. Every time you self-harm you feel better when in reality you're only hurting yourself more.

Because of the release of endorphins in your body to help limit the resulting pain, self harm can become an addictive cycle. There are plenty of other methods you can research to help you deal with self-harm.

I think that self harm is addictive because it is like revenge. When you're angry you hurt the purpose of your anger. for example when someone insults you you want to hurt them back, so when you make yourself angry you want to hurt yourself in return

in my experience, self harm is addictive because we get used to the response from on our body to the brain - because it has been used as a way to cope, the brain is wired to the maladaptive coping style that one may engage in such as for relief. it is important to get help for set harm and to look after all wounds.

Self harm makes you forget your emotional pain and misery for a while. When you hurt yourself, for a few moments you don't feel any sadness or anxiety anymore, all you feel is this physical pain. You can easily get addicted to self-harm because it makes you forget your sadness and you want to feel nothing inside again.
