Ok i want to tease out a specific thing - there's a phenomenon i wish i had a term for, but it's where "when you place intense social judgment on a thing, this increases the likelihood that the only participation of that thing will be negative."

Would a lot more people self-harm if not for the stigma? Can "self-harm" be positive if done responsibly (responsibly?) and not out of desperation?

Yup, and that's essentially BDSM (at least the S&M part is)

Definitely. I think taboos from other cultures can shed some light into this. For example in Egypt women who go to nightclubs are viewed as sinners. So we end up with "going to nightclubs = prostitution".

A form of assortative socialisation. I don t remember the exact terminology. Is related to assortative mating, low optionality and survivorship bias, altought not any of these 3. Also, general theory: self harm is the pathological expectation that somebody else will notice it.

yes; people who self-harm aren't in the headspace to safely fill those needs, but since those needs are taboo they can't get the education/support to be safe especially since truly safe self-harm would look like BDSM, which is its own can of taboo wormshttps://twitter.com/AdmiralOPG/status/1264597476939612160 …

Also in play: "I am so highstatus and can damage myself and still be sought after" and "I do not agree with (society at large) and mark myself accordingly" and "I look up to edginess in this respect, and wish to embody this" AND "PLEASE notice how I hurt and intervene!!!"

Working in a rehab for drug/alcohol addiction and eating disorders, almost every female in-patient eating disorder client had significant scarring from self-harm. Brain chemistry can lead to self-harm addiction and a need to "increase the dose" to battle dependance
