Is it normal i think blood is pretty?

I have anxiety, so when I get really nervous, I'll cut myself deep enough for it to stream down (usually on my upper thighs) and I'll watch it, and when I'm cleaning up, I'll watch it soak through the cotton. It's really calming, and it's just like watching TV to calm yourself down for me.
Not just that, but when I get hurt, I'll watch it run down. If anyone else gets hurt, I'll offer to help them so I can see it. Whenever I watch scary movies, I ask if they have nice gore, too. I've always been this way, and when I tell someone, they look really concerned...
It's just blood, nothing else is satisfying, not water, any other bodily fluid, paint, you name it... Just blood.

    I'd always found blood to be both beautiful and fasinating.
    I used to self harm a lot when I was younger and this was one of the reasons I found it so hard to stop.

    Have you ever been checked for PTSD? Do you think there is something in your past that made you feel this way? As in abuse or witnessing a death? I've read that this can also just be a result of anxiety/OCD...you could always talk to a therapist.

    • Anxiety might be a cause of it, I'vd been diagnosed with it since childhood. My doctor told me that people with anxiety have some nervous habits, but only listed some of the less harmful ones, such as hair pulling, nail biting, excessive scratching, ect.
      No, I haven't really experienced anything that would cause PTSD, in my opinion, but thank you for the suggestion.
      I'll ask my doctor about it next time I go, I suppose. I figured I'd ask people here, first, just to see if anyone else does it.

    I think blood is pretty too, but I don't know how normal it is :/

    When I get a nosebleed, I like to stand over the sink and watch the drops splat and create patterns. I think it's something to do with the viscosity plus colour.

    from the perspective of someone who loves to paint the colour is very pretty and it is hard to re-create correctly so it looks just right. I have a nosebleed right now and oddly enough I was just watching it come out. I don't really like seeing it coming out of someone in pain but if someone has a nosebleed or one of those paper cuts that you don't feel and don't notice until you see the blood it's pretty cool.

    I'm the same way. It is most likely caused by your anxiety; I have that too.
