The word "self-harm" has generally been used to refer to a wide variety of behaviours. It refers to purposefully inflicting harm or agony on one's own body, with either suicidal or non-suicidal intent. Self-injury, a subset of self-harm, is the deliberate infliction of bodily hurt without suicidal intent. Young people are more likely to harm themselves. Self-harmers can have suicidal thoughts as well. Self-harmers require support, empathy, and care in order to heal. The negative judgement of others may prevent them from receiving the necessary help. In a 2012 Orygen paper titled "Looking the other way: young people and self-harm," it was stated that up to half of self-harmers are believed to never seek assistance. Self-harming is a severe behaviour because it is a symptom of profound anguish and is not done to get attention. Typically, people take enormous pains to keep it a secret from others out of intense embarrassment. They may endure suffering in silence and require assistance in speaking openly about their emotions. Although the majority of those whom self-harm doesn't wish to die, as they look for ways to cope with overwhelming emotions, their behaviour may become increasingly frequent and addictive. Self-harmers occasionally experience emotions of guilt, self-hatred, and helplessness, as well as suicidal thoughts. Several suicide attempters have a self-harm history.
