Is it normal to like being sore after working out??

For some reason I just like the way it feels barely being able to walk because my thighs are so sore, or struggling to lift my arms.
I always hear people complaining about it but I actually enjoy it. When the pain starts to diminish after a few days, I get kind of sad and try to work harder to bring it back...

    That is by far my favorite part of exercising. Sometimes I stop for a while so I can get that feeling when I start again.

    People usually complain about being sore for two reasons.

    1) they just started working out and are not use to being in pain just chillin.

    2) do it for attention. "Oh damn dude my arms are killin me, I did allllllllll this weigh soooooo many times"

    But I feel like eventually it does become a good thing, it becomes related with getting results.

    I train to I hate it lol but you just happen to be someone who loves to workout and work hard & feel the pain after. Nothing wrong with that
