Is a cutter always a 'cutter'?

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

I assume you're talking about using the term when the self-injurer in question does not use cutting as their main method or even as a method at all.

I personally don't use the term 'cutter' very often because there are so many different methods of self-injury, so many preferences a self-injurer has in terms of methods. 

Some self-injurers never cut or have only cut once or twice. It wouldn't make sense to call them a 'cutter'. Some burn, some hit themselves, some scratch, etc.
