Check out this quote! Who recognized themselves?
Emotional masochism is about finding some sort of twisted satisfaction or comfort in situations where you're being insulted, humiliated, or otherwise emotionally hurt.
Folks who lean into this kind of behavior don’t just accidentally find themselves in these situations; they might actually seek them out or even set things up to feel those negative vibes.
This was just a little self-check - I realized that I'm an emotional masochist and checked with Google. It's a complete match for me. But there's one BUT - the match is exclusively in a single context. In most life situations, it's the complete opposite.
In general, I'm inclined to believe that all bottoms are emotional masochists, and all tops are emotional sadists. And this absolutely does not depend on what their kinks and practices are.
It's exactly how I feel! As you know, I've learned early to enjoy being abused and emotionally hurt.
