Need to Feel Emotional Pain

0

For a while I’ve had this thing where I’ve felt the desire to feel emotional pain. I don’t know why I do this (I mean, there are possible reasons, but I don’t know if it’s exactly that), but I love the feeling I get when I think of a sad situation and my heart begins to ache. I looked it up and apparently it’s a kind of self destructive behaviour. I hate it, but I love it at the same time. But I also feel bad for liking it because it’s so odd and I shouldn’t be feeling sad! God, what the heck is wrong with me?

I'm not going to lie, I so do this as well. I'm not proud of it, but apparently it's a genetic thing. But if it's bothering you that much that you go through it, and despite you maybe liking it a little bit, if you feel it gets out of hand, you can go to the doctors for it. However, if you're okay with not going to them, maybe just find ways that stop you from wanting to feel like that? Like a distraction?
