what can cause someone to turn to this? could it be it's just what there used to, and also are you an emotional masochist if every time someone is mean to you, it kind of feels good?

You don't turn into one. You just are. I'm a masochist and I'm not ashamed of it at all. There are varying levels also.
Masochist enjoy pain, domination, and humiliation. They get a rush (adrenline or sexual). In an SM situation, they are actually in control because they can not react which takes away the fun for the sadist.
You can be "mental" masochist too. Staying in an abusive relationship knowing it isn't healthy but you love it anyway.
If you have more questions, feel free to message me.
Edit: I have 13 piercings and 2 tattoos. The reason I continue to get more is I get such a rush beforehand and I love the pain that goes with it. I find it intoxicating.

An incident that causes severe emotional distress can cause a person to turn to self-mutilation, or emotional/ mental abuse. It gives the person a euphoric rush from either the adrenaline or the endorphins the brain produces to subside the pain. It's basically like getting high. This is why some people love getting tattoos and piercings. Email me if you want to talk some more: emschwa@snet.net.

masochism usually developes because of emotional trauma from childhood. if a girl is a masochist in bed, it usually means she was sexually abused as a child and she wants to feel like she still isn't in control of her sexuality. (same for guys, too...sometimes) emotional masochism is usually from a bad relationship with parents or gardians growing up (below the age of 9). trauma is almost always the cause of someone being a masochist.

Let me look this up in the Diagnostic Service Manual for Psychiatric Disorders. It is 302.83 Sexual Masochism There it is. You can get treatment for it and your insurance will pay for it if it has a diagnosis classification and a diagnostic code. Oh, wait.....you're not talking about sexual masochism, which is the diagnosis. You seem to be asking why a human being keeps seeking out inappropriate, damaging and hurtful relationships with other people. This person has a personality disorder. there are 16 different personality disorders known to psychiatric science (with sub categories). A person who continually seeks out relationships with inappropriate people who will harm them, take their resources, inflict physical and emotional injury on them, disappoint them and use them has a personality disorder and is addicted to the drama that this behavior creates for them. Healthy people invest in mutually respectful and healthy relationships with others. Your question was confusing in that your lead-in had to do with a sexual dysfunction diagnosis and not a personality disorder.

If you get gratification [sexual or not] from pain, deprivation, or degradation.
One can become like that if you were physically or emotionally abused.
That's why I am. 15 years of being emotionally abused will do that. it's why I enter into relationships where I am emotionally abused.
Also I love being bitten and bruised and cut and... oh gosh I'm getting hot thinking about it.

masochism-pleasure in being abused or dominated : a taste for suffering.
It's a simple perversion but in sado-masochism the masochist is actually in control of the situation.

i have no idea what u are asking but if a person is being verbally abused by ppl they have the right to defend themselves . so if that makes them mean then that makes u hyper sensitive and maybe u should stop annoying ppl then
