    ok i have been self harming since last june, but i stopped feb the 16th, but then something triggured it again on april 25th, im really trying to quit and i would like to know any ways that would make it easier for me.

    i told my (old) best friend because i thought he would understand and want to help me, on that day he was very helpful and caring, but then for the next 2-3 months he changed, indirectly insulting me by saying things like 'all emos/cutters are wrong/attention seakers/masocists' and he used to have the 'emo' look but then changed it because he said he now hates emos for what they do.

    he doesnt insult me directly, just saying it about everybody with knowing what i do. He thinks im still his friend cos hes always inviting me round his house but i decline saying im busy.

    the reason why i self harm is cos of a breakup with his sister and i dont wana be rude to him cos i still want to get back together with her and pissing him off wouldnt help

    question 1 ) any suggestions on helping me stop
    question 2 ) should i forgive him / what should i do

    Go get some therapy, dude! they'll teach you healthy coping mechanisms for your feelings. Get some therapy.

    Then, go to your friend and be like "Ok, look self harm isn't good. I don't want to do it. I'm going to a therapist to learn better ways of dealing with stuff. I do NOT need you constantly talking S^^^T about it in front of me anymore. Ok?"

    Don't be rude, just call him out on it
