Is it wrong to hurt yourself more to Make someone feel guilty?

Basically I'm in agony but no one believes me and I figured if I hurt myself more they'd believe me and I'd get, I guess revenge for them not believing me

    Yea I don't think that's right :\

    I think when you get to that point where you have harmed yourself so much to where they do feel guilty and you feel like you punished them, you will find that punishing them took sooooo much away from you. You might experience feelings of worthlessness because of how much badly you treated yourself for them to feel guilty.

    I know it can be very tempting to punish someone that has/is wronging you. trust me, I know that feeling VERY well. When you just want to be justified, respected, noticed, cared for - but this anger eventually starts fading away. You will be glad that you took care of yourself while it lasted. The more their lack of caring takes away from you (i.e causes you to harm yourself) the harder it will be to move on.

    I am very sorry that no one believes you, or is considerate towards what you are going through. I'm sure there are people out there (such as me!! (; ) that do care. Maybe try and take that into consideration, and see the situation through those people's eyes. Not through the eyes of those that don't care.

    Be strong beautiful! :) <3

    You are only hurting yourself and no body else. If no body cares let it be and find a goal for your self

    That's Manipulation. No one likes someone who is trying to control them. Rethink on how to get your loved ones attention. Perhaps that's the main issue. They very much love you but feel a power struggle

    You don't need their approval. If they don't believe you, then they're not good friends/respectful family members. Anyone who doesn't take you seriously over things that matter to you, don't deserve any opinions over your life.

    Also, hurting yourself to attempt to get people to feel a certain way is manipulation, not to mention self harm is never a good idea.

    I think the best thing to do is to get better, and remove yourself from those people who are "not on your team" so to speak.

    Trying to make other people feel guilty is a fool's errand. Revenge almost always just makes things worse for everybody, including the person who seeks revenge. The best "revenge" in my opinion is to just get on with living a happy life and not let your tormentors know that they had any affect on you at all. Or if it is really too much tell someone in authority and let them deal with it. Life is too short and precious to have to deal with crappy people directly.
