  • It's normal to not enjoy pain and not want to experience pain. What isn't normal is to be obsessively afraid of pain or possible pain. I don't know for sure that you're obsessing about this but the issue must be pretty serious if your asking if it's normal. I wonder if you've ever had a traumatic experience that involved a lot of physical pain that is causing all this anxiety; perhaps an illness or injury?

    • I have been hurt a lot involving a lot of physical pain. It caused me to be depressed.

      • That's understandable. Most of the pain in my life has been emotional but last year I started developing some Fibromyalgia type symptoms. My Rheumatologist told me I have Myofascial pain.
