>how to find out if i am a masochist
If you like pain, you're a masochist by definition.
>and is this even really a thing
It is. (I'm a long-time BDSM enthusiast and have met many masochists).
>should masochism and sadism only be explored in safe spaces and in specific times
Definitely, yes. You need to be with someone who knows what he's doing (knows how to do things safely) and who respects your limits.
>otherwise im just mentally ill and cant cope?
That could also be true. Being a masochist doesn't prevent you from being mentally ill.

If you are cold and dead inside, masochism becomes the addiction to pain only because you identified that pain is the only way where you can slightly feel something. Sadists are about emotional freedom, and they seem sinister on the outside but when they figure out what actually goes on in a masochist's head they genuinely shit themselves.

>should masochism and sadism only be explored in safe spaces and in specific times
Yes it's called a therapist appointment

hmm interesting nice answer, what you say if someone is into forced pain and breaking their own rules for the "sadistic" or dom partner

is this usually more than just a kink?

in the end who is really in control? i think the sadistic or the dom or wtv its called is always in control you cont force someone who is in role of power to do something u dont want
like a boss and an employee at work, even if the employee enjoyed getting hurt the boss is the one controlling him and has more power to let them go or not
