Hey there,
Things done to cause yourself intentional harm or pain to cope with emotions such as tension can be considered self harm, yes. It's not really a good way to cope because you're not getting your emotions out in healthy ways or solving any problems that may have caused you to want to harm yourself in any way.
Jack gave you a good link, a list of alternatives to self harm! You're not a wimp for not wanting to cut, it's actually a good thing that you don't want to cut. But, those alternatives still can come in handy so you can stop doing things like digging your fingernails into your skin or pulling your hair. These are healthier, safer ways to cope.
You can do this!
