Is it normal that i really like feeling my scars?

Recently, I found out that I really like the feeling of dragging a needle (or a pencil or really anything pointy) over my skin. Lightly so that it doesn't draw blood or break the skin, just barely enough to feel it. Then I wondered what it would feel like over my scars. I used to self harm when i was younger so I have scars all over my body, or at least that parts that could be covered with t-shirt and jeans (though none of the cuts on my breasts were ever deep enough to leave scars). I'd always assumed that the scar tissue was mostly numb, but then I brushed the needle over one of them. I could feel it, but in a much different way than it was over the healthy skin. It felt like I was touching the very bottom of the scar instead of just the surface. Like i was pulling the needle through somewhere deep inside the muscles of my thigh.

It felt absolutely amazing, but at the same time, the scars themselves are from an unpleasant part of my past. Is it weird that I enjoy the feeling in spite of that?

Is It Normal?

    I got a scar on my wrist from pushing my face and hands on glass when I a kid. Needless to say, the glass shattered, but that was the only wound I retained. It is about 1cm from my veins/arteries, so I am lucky I didn't hurt myself too bad. Cut is only about 1cm long, and itlooks like a \ on my left wrist. Long story short, it is a little unusual but I must admit that I brush lightly overmy scar and the feeling is.......... odd. It feels like you are touching it deeply, but you are still only touching it on the same level as the rest of your skin. It's normal, but a little odd.
