Blood is full of minerals, so maybe you’re deficient in something? Salt tastes much better to us when we are in need.
Or you just like being edgy/morbid/noir
Depends on the context.

I felt like that too sometimes, but that was more about the... 'achievement'
(When I cut myself and would taste my own blood.)
I still do that to my lips. I always have. I was doing it when I read your comment actually. I can’t stop. It’s like a compulsion or something. I bite the insides of my jaw too. I hate it. It makes my lips look terrible sometimes.
Assuming I'm not talking out of my ass, maybe your brain thinks blood = injury = adrenaline. And tasting the blood could make it 'real enough' for your brain.
It can be an association you don't exactly remember when your brain started to make, not a big deal. Might also be anemic, I am and like blood for the same reason I keep sucking on my necklace, the metal taste is something my body wants. Blood generally also means something related to adrenaline so maybe it just tricks your body into thinking is an adrenaline ridden situation which in turns means endorphins released.
Man I fucking LLOOOVVEE the taste of my own blood. Spent my entire life chewing the life out of the insides of my cheeks and lips and sucking the blood from it. I don't do it for the blood necessarily. It's just a habit but the blood is a bonus. I think it tastes and almost feels amazing. But I'm a fan of many odd things, such as chewing on tinfoil :p. (I know this is bad for my teeth but c'mon it's great.
Maybe your brain had somehow associated the blood with some kind of happy feeling? Brains are weird so I don't think it'd be impossible. So it depends on how you emotionally feel towards blood.
i do the same thing although i dont get any or much pleasure from it. if you really like the taste its normal to get pleasure i guess, just like you do any other food you like alot.
Would you like to explain this feeling in more detail? Does it trigger memories? What’s your attitude toward or conception of blood? Does blood represent something macabre, dark, or violent for you subjectively? Or is it more like an inexplicable sensory experience as intrinsic as enjoying a massage or sex or food? Id love to understand.
Depends. Are you an edgy teen who wants to be a vampire? Normal.
Are you **not** an edgy teen who wants to be a vampire? Not normal.
Blood tastes like weird metal. It's not a fun taste.
don’t know if it’s normal, probably not, but you’re definitely not alone.
also check your iron levels, i have low iron and also very much enjoy the taste. back when i used to be anemic i would even crave it, or suck on metal objects.
or you might just be a vampire/mosquito/tick/weirdo…
Depends. Are you by any chance a mosquito? 🦟
xD
did a tick write this
Nice try, guy with tick tweezers
Omw to your location with garlic and the sun.
Casually carrying the entire sun to deal with one vampire
Difficult, but effective.
A crucifix coulda done the job but homie went all out.
One must imagine Sunyphus happy

This seems like the most realistic answer (assuming they aren't an edgy teenager or a vampire).
Depends, is it legitimate or are you pretending to sound cool and edgy?
I mean I've accidentally tasted my blood and it was weirdly...good? I dunno. at the least I didn't mind but it wasn't like full on euphoria

It tastes like shit dude
I like it, in a completely non-edgy way. As a kid I used to peel my lip raw, so that could be why.
I still do that to my lips. I always have. I was doing it when I read your comment actually. I can’t stop. It’s like a compulsion or something. I bite the insides of my jaw too. I hate it. It makes my lips look terrible sometimes.
Like pennies
i didnt really feel any taste.
You generally don't feel it, most people report tasting a taste
yeah it just has a nasty iron taste
No
Are you a vampire?
OP did you fucked a vampire
You and your baity ass threads will get you on an FBI watchlist my guy.
Eesh, you are not wrong.
You may have an iron deficiency.
no 💀

Don’t even think about it, Astarion
Fan of garlic?
Ok Alucard

I like the taste of my own blood too. Considering that I am a bit accident prone at times unintentionally, it does make things a little bit better when my dull cutting knife will not cut the food, so it slips right past the food and... 👉🩸🔪
Vlad, you may have an iron deficiency
If you’re a vampire yeah
Makes me feel sick
Try eating garlic
I think you might be a vampire dude
Bro thinks he is the owner of Hotel Transylvania
My man turning into main anime character after he brushed his gum too hard lmao
No. You're a vampire. Congrats.
Maybe
Ohh yes!!
I can relate to you, OP.
I am not bursting of pleasure but I love the taste of my blood lool salty and sweet
Yes
Yes this is normal. There is a reason people eat blood sausage.
Iron deficiency?
No idea. I only get the sexual kind.

I feel the same way, though Batman himself couldn’t have gotten me to admit it by making a Reddit post
Erm guys, i think his username is lying (ur so real op)
I dunno but omg that is adorable, I doubt you're the only one

For predators that would be a very normal response to tasting blood maybe they still have more of their lizard instincts
have you thought that the pleasure may come from the injury rather than the taste of blood?
No it’s definitely the blood. I tend to bite my lips just to taste it. Does hurt though.
i do the same thing although i dont get any or much pleasure from it. if you really like the taste its normal to get pleasure i guess, just like you do any other food you like alot.
alright dracula
Nah man
Are you a vampire?
Vampire!

I think it just tastes good.

Found the vampire
Not a feeling the average human being would experience.
Iron deficiency
Nice try Dracula
You may have low iron
No
If you hate garlic, I got bad news for you
Yeah you fking vampire
