Have you ever been forced to harm yourself? from another person? or to evade a situation?

Considered it a few times to avoid responsibilities, never actually did it

idk if self-harm in the sense of redirecting anger on myself would count or not, but if it does then yes.

Yes, I was forced to harm myself by being brought into existence. Existence has been a whole bunch of harm for me. It's brought me a lot of suffering because being neurodivergent in this world is very difficult, even more so when your divergence is being on the spectrum.

Yes I was forced to harm myself by being brought into existence.

Is that you harming yourself or existence harming you? I think there's a difference and that you suffer through the latter. Either way, I have been harmed by existence too by simply being me and I don't see myself as the cause for this but rather the victim of it all when I never even asked to have the brain that I currently do to begin with

Existence harming me. Literally, we're both victims, born into a world that was not built or meant for us.
