Would nudism help?

would nudism help? Regularly engaging in social nudity where you couldn't hide new cuts, would that deter it?
I'm sure there may be many who do but I've never seen any with cuts like that
It also helps on other levels of feeling equal and included

I guess in theory it could, but also in theory, everyone is also so used to being naked anyways, you would not consider being nude when you factor into that decision to cut yourself. I dunno if that made sense or not. just a possible theory.

I hope you are not cutting yourself though :(

It may help because you know for a certainty that there is nowhere to hide the injuries but then sometimes when your mind is filled with dark thoughts there is nothing stopping you.

It could help because you would be less likely to do it as people would see but then sometimes you're in such a state that it wouldn't even cross your mind.
I guess it could stop you from starting though

I don't think that would truly solve the issue. A lot of people are so far gone in the mindset of self-harm that people seeing it wouldn't be enough to actually quell it. There is also the contributing factor that a lot of people are uncomfortable with people seeing that much of their body exposed. It would create more problems than actually solving them I'd reckon.

I doubt it.... I mean that would reveal yourself to others, but that's not going to uproot the underlying issues at hand. I don't think.

I...don't think so.

Fully agree with this. With social nudity it could make some people stop because they might learn that nobody will have to see their wounds if they just don't inflict it on themselves in the first place, but it could also push a lot of people into hiding away more and feeling worse about themselves. Plus, a lot of people are really insecure about their bodies.

In my opinion this wouldn't work.
