My brother says that I am obsessed with Ted Bundy. However, I am a student and I'm studying psychiatric health and I am completely fascinated by him. Bundy was raised in a good home, and aside from discovering in his young years that he was an illegitimate child, he had a normal life. That does not mean that normal people cannot have or develop psychopathic behavior, but think about other serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, or just criminals in general, there is often an early onset stressor from family etc. that caused the start of some trigger. Was Bundy intelligent? Yes. Was he attractive? Yes. And he studied psychology in school which is ironic, but he used his intelligence and charm to lure his victims. He is my hobby, along with researching things about mental illness and other criminals, simply because I want to know as much as possible about Bundy and those like him, as I plan to one day keep society as safe from those people as i possibly can. THat being said, Hybristophilia or "Bonnie and Clyde" syndrome is a mental disorder that a small handful of people have. Those who have hybristophilia find sexual or romantic desire in someone who has committed outrageous things. If you are not romantically drawn to the thought of Bundy, and there are no underlying anger issues etc. that make you sympathize with Bundy's actions, I would say you are perfectly fine. If you feel strongly about your interests in him or they persist in bothering you, then maybe you should see your doctor. :)
