Is it normal to be enamored with feeling sad?

I like how being sad feels. When my boyfriend used to emotionally manipulate me into feeling like shit and putting the blame on me, even though I knew it wasn’t my fault, I just accepted it because I wanted to feel bad. I even go as far as to causing harm to others because I feel bad about it.

    I think you find the feeling of sadness as your safe zone as you're familiar with the feeling, you don't want to explore your comfort as admittedly there are risks to feeling happy but I'll tell you this just because it's the norm for you, it doesn't mean it's good for you. I hope someday you can find something that will give you incentive to strive for more happiness

    Yeah it’s the asshole stage of depression. Common

    Same, but not very often. Only very specific situations where I wanna just accept the pain instead of resisting because it starts to hurt more trying to ignore my anxieties than just accepting that my anxieties are right even though they technically aren't.
