I’ve been flossing usually twice a day, sometimes only once a day, pretty strictly for the past 2 weeks or so. mostly because my grandma bullied me lol. However it still hurts? when does it usually go away?

As a man with thirteen teeth, I wholeheartedly applaud your gran’s tenacity. If your gums are damaged by not flossing, they’ll bleed a lot at first.
Has your dentist recommended a deep cleaning? It’s possible you have tarter under the gum line. That would cause inflammation and lead to more painful flossing. Once my gum disease was in check, they stopped bleeding from my water pick, before that, it was a fountain of gore.
