I love certain pain.

Lately, I've been thinking, is it normal to love pain? I mean, I'm not emo, I don't cut myself, but I mean, when you get stuff stuck in your teeth and you keep trying to get it out with your tounge and it starts to hurt after a while and then you pick at it, that sorta pain, I love it. And the pain of stuff being stuck in my fingernails. Sometimes I'll just sit there, picking at my nails and I'll get one nail and stick it between my nail and the skin bit. I just love the feeling, but if I cut myself with a pin or something, I hate it. Is it normal?

    YYYESSSS finally someone else does this crap. I clean my fingernails obsessively with anything sharp. I like to get the the point behind my nail where it kind of hurts and push against it.. not hard enough to do any real damage, but hard enough to feel the pain because it's so freaking good.
    And I bite this one spot on my lower lip, and rub against it with my canine tooth to make it kind of raw and a little swollen. It hurts but I loooveee it.
    People think I'm a freak or a masochist or something. I'm not! It just feels awesome!

    Yeah it is pretty normal. Your pain and pleasure centers are in the same part of your brain. Maybe one thing you do triggers pleasure w/ pain where as some things trigger discomfort and pain. People who cut don’t do it because it feels good. Your brain will focus on the most intense pain you feel whether it be emotional or physical. So if they are depressed they cut themselves to draw the attention from their emotional problems. You do it because it just feels good. I would say your normal don’t worry.

    i think this is normal, whenever my finger nails get kinda irritated i push on the top of the nail real hard, kinda like why people crack their knuckles cause it just doesnt feel right uncracked...

    They say there is a thin line between pleasure and pain. I think that's what the whole S&M thing is based on.

    This sort of pain might be to relief yourself somehow. I personally like it when rubbing alcohol stings my wounds. For a moment you feel in ecstasy but then you realize that it's not really that special or it's just stupid.

    Have fun

    I think it's normal. I love the pain you get when being shot by a paintball. It's just so fun. It's also satisfying when you shoot others with them.
