So I tear of my skin around my thumbs and around my finger nails and I feel no pain. THere is no purpose why I am doing this. My friends and my father sees it and they shiver and they "OMG let me give you some pills to reduce pain" And then I say no im fine or something like that. Even if i leave it be, it sometimes bleeds, my dad once told me it could be finger cancer but eventually it didn't turned out to be
anyway

hmmm. That's an unusual way/place to self harm. If you feel no pain whatsoever, I'm guessing this is a habit done out of anxiety, a sort of trichotillomania type of fixation, not a pain inflicting practice. Do you have any idea why you may be compelled to do this?

Its probably cuz you've done it alot so you cant feel anything but personally i'd recommend you to stop cause ugly fingers are not the buisness

eventually, you stop feeling it, and it doesnt even hurt anymore. same happened to me with cutting. yet i still found myself doing it. i think it's because your body just gets used to it, so it doesn't hurt anymore/you've done it that many times etc.
