Am I the only person that loves the feeling of pressing their bruises or somewhere that is sore ? It feels so good to press on it, it hurts so good. It makes it feel better for me for some reason. I get so much pleasure from doing it, it’s like such a good sensation.

I think this is normal. The human body is obviously averse to being in a lot of pain, but sometimes we like having mild pain. Like if you scratch an itch, that can give you temporary relief because it’s a small pain. Sometimes people also like being sore after exercising a lot, or, yeah, sometimes people like picking scabs or pressing on bruises. Can be harmful, especially if you do it frequently, but it’s not inherently pathological. Humans do this sometimes.
Thats the best part about getting a bruise!
Tw for self harm:
When i was a teenager i loved pressing my bruises (autism stim), but i was also not the kind of kid to play outdoors a bunch, so id steal my moms mortar and pestle and use the stick to hit my thighs until they bruised so id be able to press them later
