Is it okay or normal to want to feel sad?

I'm an introvert, shy, quiet, and I recently have been heartbroken by my crush. However this feeling has always been around but it comes and goes. I like listening to slow or melancholy music which makes me feel better. My appetite has also recently delclined. I'm now starting to want to avoid my social circles which was something of the norm in the past, but now the desire of isolation is starting to come back.

It's easier to feel sad than to feel motivated and happy. That's why some people with depression are basically bedridden, because doing stuff is hard when you have no motivation.

I'd go see your doctor and tell them this. It could be an issue that, with the right diet and maybe some therapy, you would be able to overcome.

No one should *want* to feel sad. It sounds like you're cycling into depression. Why don't you go see your doctor?
