enjoy small pain normal?
don't get the wrong idea. I'm not cutting or self-harming in any serious way. I am not putting my life in danger.
I just wonder if this is normal: I use hand sanitizer regularly at work, and when I have a cut or something on my hand, I like the stinging pain that results when hand sanitizer gets in it. Sometimes I use it more when I have a cut, or rub in to the cut especially, just so that I can feel that sting more.
Is this weird/bad? It's not like i'm seriously harming myself...and I certainly don't enjoy stronger pain...but that little sting just makes me happy in a way...

As the saying goes different strokes for different folks. A small amount of pain can make you feel alive. Since there are different types of pain the pain you feel from hand sanitizer may feel good but if someone were to smack you on the butt that pain may hurt and not feel good for it is a different type of pain.
As long as it is not all pain I see no harm in it. As long as you are not cutting yourself so that you can feel the pain of the hand sanitizer I see no harm in it. Pain affects everyone differently. Athletes will exercise until they feel the burn. This tells them they have accomplished their workout and the pain is a signal to them something they strive for. In sex there are pain fetishes.
None of this makes anyone strange as long as the pain is restricted to a singular purpose. The pain you feel that makes you happy in a way may as I said make you feel alive or just may be a form of stress relief. Whatever it does for you as long as you are not doing anything to cause the pain I'd say your normal and not to worry.
