Hey,
I am so sorry he is saying this to you. This is 100% NOT okay. I am not positive but this sounds like manipulation and if it is then I'm pretty sure it's considered emotional abuse.
I think you should sit him down and explain to him that what he is saying doesn't help, and if it makes you want to do it even more tell him that. I also think since he is saying that stuff that he doesn't understand that self-harm is a coping method. Maybe find resources online and show them to him.
I'm not sure how old you are or if you have a therapist but if you have a therapist and are 18+ I would recommend you ask your therapist if you could bring him in so she can explain it better, and so you have a safe place to sit with him and discuss it.
I know you didn't ask but I would recommend you check out the alternative thread, that gives you other ways to cope.
If you ever need to talk I am just a PM/VM away.
Your friend,
Frankie<3
