Is this self harm?

[Anselmo]

As a hobby, i solder and sometimes i get burned, because accidents like this can´t be avoid...Now i'm used to get burned, but last time it happen (accidentally) i actually enjoy it!! Is this self harm? It only happened once...

It could I don't know develop into self harm.
But from what you've said its not self harm now no. You said its accidental, and you can't avoid it you aren't doing it on purpose. Just try to avoid having the accidents.

Thanks for the answer :)

Just try to avoid having the accidents.

it's possible but it's very hard not to get hurt

Well just make sure you follow all safety procedures then?

it's my first concern...i can get an infection from the burn.

This isn't self harm, no. However, it could develop into it because you said you 'enjoy' it. If you get burnt by accident, well, accidents happen. It would be self harm if you actually took an object to your skin and purposely caused damage (whether it leaves a mark or not).

If you're following safety procedures, you should be fine and if you ever were to get an infection, see a doctor. If it's a hobby you enjoy, keep at it (and you seem aware of the risks). Make sure it stays just that though, a hobby.

That's my plan

No it's not self harm. There have been times that i've previously enjoyed getting hurt by accidents, but I wouldn't call it self harm. Just as others have said just make sure that it doesn't end up turning into anything more.

unless you start to do it on purpose then no
