There's a persistent idea that anything that feels unpleasant or nasty must be good for you, rooted in the assumption that misery builds character or some other desirable trait. And there's no shortage of "I'm doing this for your own good" reasons to fall back on as a defence for adults being mean-spirited. Unsurprisingly, this sort of reverse psychology never applies if you're younger.
