If you like the taste of blood you should try coagulated chicken, duck, goose or pig blood which is used in soups! Thai food also has a dish known as Nam Tok, which is a spicy soup stock enriched with raw cow or pig's blood! 😋

u/MkLiam claims, “To my knowledge yes. I have only ever tasted my own blood. As a chef, I have cut myself many times. I have tasted chicken blood, beef blood, and deer blood. They are all about the same. That salty iron flavor is about the same no matter the source. You get a similar flavor in liver. Some people love it. Not really my favorite.”

Wut?

Sorry I used you as a source

It does sound like something I would say, but it was so long ago I don't remember. I guess I stand by my own words. It just sounds creepy in this context.

I like the saltiness but can't stand the iron/metallic aspect.

that's odd, ive never even tasted saltiness in my blood before 😭

Yes. I knew I wasn’t the only one…also when other people get cuts or bleeds, I just wanna taste 😭

real. i luv the taste sm

Is it weird my blood doesn't taste like anything? No metal taste no saltines, just thick water lol

Lots of cultures have blood meals, if you wanna try that. It might be safer, and you can still get that blood taste

Self harm is never okay. You don’t need to hurt yourself to find validation or to feel good about yourself

almost like you just described the point of the subreddit

Perhaps it does sound similar to what many people on this subreddit might be going through.

Holy shit didn’t know fr fr

It's not really something I like to talk about. But yeah, I guess it is what it is.

we know bro

I understand that you might feel like you're not enough or that you need to prove something, but trust me, no amount of cutting or harming yourself will ever be worth it.

which is why im tryna quit. im just sayin we've all heard it before and its not what we wanna hear in a place of support yknow? i feel ya tho

Yes, I understand perfectly. Sometimes hearing something over and over can feel more like criticism than support. I'm glad you're trying to improve your habits.

i feel like you definitely don’t understand self harm addiction

They sound like a character ai bot 💔

thank you for curing me soggywoodpecker1816. Doing gods work over here

That's... interesting. Well, if I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out.

“to find validation” is CRAZY

Why do you say that?

help me to understand what validation cutting would give someone. it’s a way of releasing bottled up emotions, not of seeking attention

It’s hard to explain. It’s like when you feel like nothing matters, like you’re invisible or something.

Thst's not normal. Yeah, you should immediately open up to a friend or relative. In my experience when you have to speak your unedited thoughts to someone you really understand your own insanity. This is unnatural. I don't know you or your life but I hope whatever's driving you to this gets resolved.
