Is it normal to get pleasure out of negetive/destructive thoughts?

Asking in general.

Sometimes some humans feel really good when they think of self-destructing/self-harm thoughts and then it becomes a pattern in them.

Yes you are absolutely right @StanleyHudson I don't know it is normal or not but i have been observing myself and many fellow people in my family or friends...they build some kind of behavioral patterns either it's their thoughts, action or any other work which they know this is negative or not so good but they find themselves happy with it..

It's not the negativity that feels good, it's the escape to an alternate reality inside their heads that feels good because they can imagine a different life than their current one (however good or bad it might be).

Still gotta come back to reality though.

It is this imagination that leads to creation as well as destruction. Upto the user on what they actually wish to do with their thoughts.

At times I do feel like not caring about anything and indulge into things without a second thought, this can be considered self destructive in some ways.

But self harm doesn't sound like a normal thing, you should get help if this is the case

It is not normal, it becomes default response of that person to everything he/she encounters, and avoids finding solutions to problems, even though problems are easy to solve.

Should seek help immediately if one such finds him/herself in such patterns
