I've been practicing something like functional masochism: not seeking pain, but also not flinching away from it So I'm like "hey rejection, bring it on!" Not because it won't hurt (it will) but because it'll give me a chance to learn what rejection is like and how to handle it

An outcome of this is when I hear about something painful happening to others, part of me.. doesn't mind? I remember I used to be all "oh nooo" Everyone else is all "oh nooo" And it makes me worry I'm a little deficient or broken

I'm with you on that. I often feel like I'm accepting another person's pain for them, and sometimes this feels good if it seems they're looking for that, but I don't usually mention it otherwise. Def not deficient or broken tho even tho ppl might think you're weird
