Love to see what psychology it is to squeeze blackheads.

The behavior of squeezing blackheads is generally not a mental illness, but is caused by a physiological phenomenon called benign self-abuse.

Benign self-abuse, also known as happiness reversal, refers to the state of enjoyment through self-abuse. Watching videos of squeezing blackheads and acne will stimulate people to feel slightly nauseous, and this slight stimulation will release dopamine, a neurotransmitter related to excitement, through the brain's reward curiosity and exploration mechanism, thus making people feel happy.

However, although watching others squeeze blackheads can make people feel happy, it also perfectly avoids the related risks. When the brain finds that the risk of this behavior to itself does not exist, it will produce alternative satisfaction to cope with the pain and depression in life.

Therefore, watching the behavior of squeezing blackheads is actually one of the normal ways for us to release pressure, and it is also one of the concrete manifestations of benign self-abuse with the development of network culture.
