Is it normal to like being sad?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it can be normal to enjoy feeling sad sometimes. Melancholy can feel comforting, meaningful, or like a release, especially when it comes through music, stories, or a good cry.

Some people find sadness oddly comforting: it can help you slow down, feel your feelings, or connect with a song or story. Enjoying that mood now and then doesn’t mean you want bad things to happen or that something is wrong with you.

There’s a difference between appreciating a sad mood and feeling stuck in one. If sadness is taking over, making it hard to enjoy anything, or getting in the way of everyday life, it may be worth talking it through with someone you trust or a mental health professional.
