Is it normal that i can't find my dark side?

It's said that everyone has a dark side, and me being the introspective person I am, I've thought long and hard about what could be attributes of mine. Sometimes I get a little too angry or aggravated and might act impulsively or carelessly as a result (driving too fast in the rain, resorting to violence), but I don't see that as being dark. These are very rare instances that I take my impulses too far, and I must be provoked to an extreme (I'll hit you if you hit me first).

I have been attracted to some of the darker things throughout my life such as witchcraft, the paranormal,melancholic music, but I still don't think that constitutes me as dark. In general, I'm a positive and easygoing person.

And I make creepy statements occasionally in a detached sort of way, but that's usually for shock or humor.. Like in middle school we had an assignment to decorate grocery bags promoting things that would help the environment - I drew a depiction of population control. But I wasnt hell bent on the idea, I was just exploring the concept, questioning its validity.

I've never had thoughts of killing people violently like most people I know, I've never had any fascination with medieval torture devices or serial killers and I love everyone, even if they've done me wrong.

I feel like I should find my dark side so that it doesn't surface unannounced. I want to know myself completely, but I don't know how to educate myself on the darker parts of me that are buried in my unconscious mind. I'm not sure whether I have it under control or if I'm a volcano waiting to erupt.

Is it normal to feel the need to uncover the dark things I might be capable of?

    The whole dark side and light side thing just sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. You're YOU. If you have a tendency to get angry, then that's just one of your traits shaped by your genetics and your environment. There is no magical dark side hiding within you. We are products of nature and nurture, and that's it.

    What an interesting train wreck of a post.

    You name some less than desirable trait, then dismiss it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Other than having severe cognitive dissonance you seem completely normal.

    • I was trying to put my darker traits into perspective. To me they seem light grey, not very dark at all. I feel like there's something I'm missing or not confronting about myself.

        Light, dark, same thing, it's all perspective.

        Many would look at my life and see a cold villain, others would see a life well lived. It's all perspective.

    Read up on Carl Jung's shadow. I'm not sure if I subscribe 100% but it's interesting.
