Is it normal to enjoy self- inflicted pain?

I have always loved to make my gum bleed, to punch my nose and bend it painfully, to have my feet and hands smashed and making my wounds worse. I get this amazing pleasure, this spectacular feeling of joy and a little pride when I dig at my gums till they bleed and then brushing them with painful toothpaste and brushes. It sounds weird, I know, but I remember always putting the chair legs of chairs I was using on my toes ever since kidergarden. I used to hold my pee in as long as I could because i liked the pain of holding it in. It is actually really addicting. I don't enjoy having people hurt me emotionally or anything, but I love pain for the most part. Sometimes, when I think of pain, I get all happy and a need to hurt myself. I don't cut, for some reason cutting never appealed to me, but I do myself quite a bit of damage.

    At least think of the permanent damage you could cause. Research it...

    Ohmygoodness PLEASE go seek help. Counseling is a great place to start. There is something wrong and you need to begin seeking to fix things NOW. No better time to start than the present.

    Ik how u feel, it isnt "normal" but i love self-inflicted pain. I luv to cut my wrist, not the gum thing and i luv having my bf cut my wrist or squeeze my nipples hard as he makes me cum. The pain does feel amazing.

    I guess its normal but its not good. I am depressed and i do cut. Hurting myself is like an addiction it could be an addiction for you too?

    Self harm whether it be to cope with depression, stress or, in your case, for pleasure, can lead to permanent damage. If you feel strongly that you have to carry on this habit, try and keep it to methods that don't break the skin, that don't damage bones and barely leave a bruise :)

    Sounds Normal. Pain let's you know your alive and human. When it starts to feel like nothing with no emotion you got yourself a problem

    Some people enjoy the pain, its a sign that their living to feel pain. For me I've been wanting the same thing, but I'm doing it through alot of exercise... I'm doing lots of working out to try and feel the afterburn at a high level

    It can be a bad habit after a while

    I used to do that, the chair thing, the gum thing. But just cause its normal doesnt mean it's not a problem, what if it got worse. I suggest trying to stop, or at least dont accept it
