You ever get the morbid urge to look at not-so-happy images because they're among the only ones that make you feel anything? Compared to seemingly most people here I think I lead a cushy life and have managed to find ways to work around my various issues (mental, social and other kinds), but every once in a while I get reminded of just how fake and dead inside I am. Whenever that happens, I get that urge as well, and it makes me wonder if I'm more fucked up than I could even imagine.
I don't do it because I enjoy it. If anything I find even the slightest bit of pain, whether physical or emotional, to be soul-crushing, and the sight of things like blood and injuries often makes me feel faint, but that's exactly why I find this urge to be so weird. Hell, it's been there all my life, yet I've only just realised that I feel it much more strongly with 2d images, especially those of characters I like or otherwise care about.
