Why do I like having bruises on my body? Is there something wrong with me or does someone else feel this way too? Thank you.

Self bruising along with the other forms of self harm is the way some young people express their feelings and emotions or to punish themselves. Many have a history of sexual or physical abuse and find these means of coping with it is easier than dealing with the pain of their emotions. Some come from broken homes, alcoholic families, etc. as well.
It's known that those who self harm may suffer from depression and in some cases, bipolar disorder along with the whole range of mood disorders. Some are also apt to abuse drugs or alcohol too.
This isn't something be brushed aside as a small problem. The very nature of self harm is physical damage to one's body. It's important to seek out help because once you get to the root of the problem, you can find alternative methods to deal with the pain.
My advice to you is to reach out and talk to someone, anyone who you can trust, about how you are feeling. In the meantime, whenever you feel the need to bruise yourself, try punching a pillow or just draw on your body instead of hitting it.
