I think cutting happens for a variety of (personal) reasons, not just "forgetting how to feel". The endorphine rush is just one reason, an instant way to feel better. Some do it for attention. Many people find it puts them in a state of mental disociation, an escape that is. Some do it for the reason, which is often only understood by the subconscious, of tricking their brain into believing the suffering it's experiencing is a result of the external pain, not internal mental anguish.

Nothing is so simple as just "stop being an idiot".
