Discussion when you cut, do you prefer quality or quantity?

[Leonard_Bangley39]

Usually, my ability to push past the pain of cutting to the dermis layer depends on my mental state in the moment and how shitty/distressed im feeling. sometimes ill be in a really bad mood and ill push down really hard and go really slow and get maybe 3 to 5 decently wide dermis cuts. othertimes i dont have the energy to push past the sting and just want cuts so ill do a bunch of light, quick cat scratches to get some blood.

Im just curious that kind of mindset others have when they cut. Do you prefer to go slow and make sure each cut is nice and deep, or do you just go fast to try and get lots of cuts made?

Quantity.

Used to be quantity, now I go for quality. It's bad. Have to go to urgent care tomorrow to get stitches bc I have one that hasn't closed for a week.

For me it also depends on how I currently feel, but most of the time it's quantity and sometimes it's quality.

It's been a while since I cut last time and I think I'm going to do it tonight, so we'll see if I go for quantity or quality.

Quality and quantity. It's like I want at least 2 of them to be bad, but I can't just feel okay with just one. So the more the better, the deeper the better too.

If I go for quality then my scars will look lonely...
