Some experts think the behavior stems form childhood abuse or trauma .
However, statistics don't support this theory. People also cited the need to feel real among their reasons for self-injury. Hurting themselves makes them feel something, where they otherwise feel numb to the world around them. Unfortunately for the Self-Injurer, much social stigma surrounds the issue.
