what do paper cuts hurt so bad?

The following excerpt is from http://van.hep.uiuc.edu/van/qa/section/Everything_Else/Health/20020326233206.htm\n\n"Paper cuts are more painful because, due to all the stuff in paper, some of it is left behind, in the wound when you get cut. Then, the wound quickly closes in on itself, sealing the foreign matter inside. The foreign matter stimulates pain receptors in your finger, causing the stinging sensation.\n\nThere are also two additional components to this:\n\n1) Paper isn't quite as sharp on the edge as, say, a razor blade, (the comparison in the above web link). A dull blade will do more damage to the tissue on a microscopic level than a sharp one; the dull blade makes tiny rips and tears which hurt quite a lot and take longer to heal.\n\n2) It may have a large psychological component. We don't expect paper to hurt us, and we get angry and upset when it does. If we cut ourselves with a kitchen knife, we fully expect it to hurt a lot and take a long time to heal, and are more prepared to deal with the pain. Paper cuts come unexpectedly, when we are engaged in what we think is a low-risk activity, and we can get impatient with them when they heal slowly. They may not even be worse than a cut with a kitchen knife. And a serrated steak knife almost certainly will leave a worse cut."

Cutting helps people deal with emotional pain.  When it is easier to deal with physical pain than emotional pain people cut.  It gives them a release they can't find anywhere else.  However it is not a healthy way to go about it at all!  There are many risks involved in cutting.  You could get an infection or accidentally hit an artery.  Either one could end up in death.  Just be careful and find someone to talk with that understands.  Like a friend, doctor, pastor, counselor.  Depending on your age you could even talk to a counselor at school.  I really do wish you luck and happiness.  I hope whatever is hurting you so much is resolved.  If you have the strength to cut you have the strength to talk to someone, you just need to realize it!

Someone who's blood doesn't clot like normal, so when they get cut (or bleed in general) it is very dangerous for them.  They can essentially bleed to death a lot easier than normal people.

It's not just paper cuts. Any shallow cut-whether made by paper or a sharp plastic edge-hurts more than a deep cut because the shallow one remains open. The body quickly seals, with a blood clot, a deeper cut that bleeds. Indeed, any wound not sealed off, like an ulcer or a burn, hurts and, as soon as the doctor covers the open wound with a gel dressing, the pain lessens. Try it the next time you get a paper cut. Cover your cut with a gel dressing made for ulcers and feel the tenderness lessen.\n\nAlso  Because the shallow cut does not bleed very much, the pain receptors are left open to the air, ensuring continued pain. This is exacerbated by irritation caused by the fibers in the paper itself, which may be coated in chemicals such as bleach.

Technically if done right the person would never die. There is nothing fatal to small cuts, especially if there is little or no blood involved. A person can survive losing up to 30% of their blood, any amount beyond that would result in death if not replenished quickly. The average person has 7 liters of blood so you can image it would be a quite substantial amount, roughly 2.1 liters that you'd have to lose to die. I am bored and will do some math for you, I am guessing that a paper cut releases approximately 1ml of blood on average. That would be 2100 cuts. But then again not all paper cuts bleed, and it also depends a bunch on the physical level of the person being cut, if they are older they may have trouble developing clots and may be done in by 1/4 as many cuts due to uncontrollable bleeding. I advice not trying this out as you are almost guaranteed to get some sort of infection even if the cuts do not harm you.

I know someone who does it & I do it but I've found that when you wear a rubberband on your wrists and snap it whenever you feel like cutting it REALLY helps. I do it alot & it reduces the cutting but does not stop it. The only reason people do it is because they have alot going on in their life and they feel like it's the only pain they can control.

People cut themselves because the pain from the cut does not even compare to the pain they feel on the inside.  The physical pain they inflict on themselves helps relieve the emotional pain they live with every day.\n\nIt is unhealthy, but anyone who hurts that bad is probably not healthy anyway.
