Why do i like pain?

Question

I like some certain of pain. I'm 14, by the way. Lately, i carved my skin using a knife, and I feel pain (of course), and I enjoy it. Also, my left pinky, doesnt have a nail. This is because I took it out, because I wanted to feel it. I feel relief having the pain, and relief after the pain. Sure, the pain is quite unbearable, but I enjoy it. Like putting the hot wax of a candle at my thigh, arm, and fingers. I know I should stop, and I'm trying. But it doesnt really go that well. I want to know why do i like pain, and how can I stop liking it. Please tell me.

the only thing is, if i told my parents, they would only say im a masochist or something and thats it.

i would certainly be happier if my parents let me go out with friends and have friends with boys. Im not an emo. i do feel things. i just enjoy the pain. and its no use for me to tell my parents. they wouldn't do anything though.

Answer 1

Obviously by asking this question, you know what you are doing is not the right and normal thing. PLEASE PLEASE tell a counselor at school or a close relative what you are doing...since you said your parents wont do anything. You need to get help. You are hurting yourself obviously because you feel some kind of emptiness and lonliness inside. You have a long life ahead of you, you do not want to be a cutter, it would be a sad existance at best. Do something while you can, I wish I knew your parents to get them to help you. I have a 15 year old and if I knew he was doing this it would tear me apart, and I would give him all the help he needed, no questions asked. Please go to your parents,(you assume they wont care, but they will)if by any chance they wont help, go to someone you can talk to. You won't stop this on your own, you need guidance. Do not punish yourself for any reason, you are worth more then that. I wish you peace and that you find the strength to talk to someone. You deserve a good life, do not start it out like this.

I found a web site that may help you. I read thru it and it looks like a great website for teens. There is a page on cutting and about halfway down there is a good link that explains and helps people who do this. You are not the only one. It is happening all over. http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/feeling_sad/cutting.html or http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/problems/resisting_cutting.html or http://www.kidshealth.org then click on teen do a search for cutting the search page will come up and I believe the 1st 4 link will interest you. I put all of this on here because I really want you to be able to go to this site. goood luck and next time you think about cutting kno there are people praying for you and just don't I know it isn't as easy as that but someone out in cyberworld cares :)

I like putting hot wax on my fingers too
But cutting your skin using a knife is seriously gross. I know this guy who used to carve the name of the girl he liked with a blade on his arm. It was totally sick.
Anyway thats besides the point...

Mayby you should go see a therapist or a school counsellor, i dont mean this in an offensive way but it might prove to be useful. There could be a reason why you enjoy pain...
It could help you solve this problem of yours.

My philosophy on people that do this is that they cause pain to themselves, so they can feel. This is because they may not be happy or in a good place, but they at least want that pain because it makes them feel something. Also, it may be a control thing. You may not be able to control other things in your life put inflicting pain on yourself is something that you control. I would suggest taking a serious look at your life. Find what is making you feel numb to things. Try and figure out what would make your life happier, and get control of your life.

Answer 5

Talk to your doctor or a mental health doctor. Explain to them whats going on. I used to do that as well. However I would put things in my skin and leave them there. Mine was for attention, and becuase I love hospitals. Granted I work in one now. But even still. There is a reason you are doing this.

Good luck, be careful.

Noone likes pain, and if you injure yourself intentionally like this, one day some real pain that u cant handle will definely hit u real hard.
It is best to treat your body with respect, cause nature will
throw pain on you in three folds when you least expected.
when u get old, all this pain u put on yourself will never go away.
Wake up and stop torturing yourself before God does it for u.

i'm 50, and while that happens my wellbeing consultant has me take Ibuprofen (my prescription discomfort killer won't even artwork reason it particularly is a diverse style of discomfort) & prepare progesterone cream (in a diverse spot each and every time) from the wellbeing food shop as quickly as an afternoon till my pass stops. The ibuprofen stops the discomfort, the progesterone fixes the difficulty for the subsequent time around, for me a minimum of.

Answer 8

You like pain because you are sick. Now get off of the computer, speak to your parents about all of this and get some help from a therapist. If not you are just going to get some part of yourself infected and you will end up in the psych ward at a hospital which you really won't like.

You need psychiatric help, most serial killers start like this. Seriously, do some research.
