One of the most important things to understand about masochism and masochists is fear. That fear is both external and internal. There is the fear of being hurt by others and the fear of hurting others, which can be radicalized to the point of affecting sexual orientation. This fear is often correlated with helplessness, disappointment, and dysphoria, and is concurrent. It can be interpreted that masochists do not go to the hospital because they have a "disease" that prevents them from going to the hospital. In order to cure a disease, the person needs to try to cure the disease. Masochists are also characterized by their use of others for self-harm. They are much more selfish than sadists. They are socially hungry and troublesome, with a desire for self-destruction. Their contagious set of characteristics can be viewed as a virus. The tough times we face, regardless of our sexual orientation or ideology, prove that it is not just an imaginary threat. Perhaps the germ of that desire lies in a very insignificant and trivial opportunity. However, for those who are aware of a kind of suicidal mindset and self-loathing, the first thing they need to do is to improve their physical condition. Circadian rhythms, sleep quality, and nutrition should be reviewed to find one's personal optimum. Finally, keep in mind. What can be verbalized is refutable.
