Is it normal i imagine bad things happen to people?

When I talk to people, can be anyone, older younger, when my mind drifts of I see like cruel things happen to them, people I love, or I don't care for at all, makes no difference.. Eg. I watch someone talking to me and I look at their neck and suddenly I imagine it being sliced, I try to stop it but another thing happens in my mind, when I see some broken glass somewhere I imagine possible ways of what could happen to someone who's near me or to myself, like glass flying up and cuting through that someones head, or stuff like that, I'm worried about it, am I some kind of psycho, or am I maybe borderline psychotic or I don't know, some mass murderer in previous life, or wtf is it... Does it happen to anyone else?

Is It Normal?

  • Something else I wanted to add... if you feel good about these thoughts you are having or if you think it's funny then I would say you should be concerned. But if your thoughts are causing you distress because you know it is wrong to harm others and you know you don't want to harm others then you are probably going to be okay. Maybe it is stress.

  • I don't think it's weird because I can kind of relate. I don't really imagine it constantly when I'm talking to someone but I do often have morbid thoughts. It started when I was a kid and I realized how easy it was for a person to die. I would start thinking of all the possible ways like falling on a fork in the kitchen. I even imagined weird stuff like putting my hand in a blender (I never have of course). Anyway over the years I ended up becoming OCD. I do my obsessive nervous ticks because sometimes I'm afraid something bad will happen if I don't. And if you look up OCD apparently a large percentage of the population has OCD. I don't know if what you describe is similar to mine. If you are just imagining bad things happening to people while you watch you might want to talk to someone. But if you are altogether morbid and just fully aware of all the bad things that could possibly go wrong, you may be OCD or working towards becoming OCD. I'm not a doctor though, so good luck with what you're going through.

  • If you're not making it up, I'd talk this through with a professional.
