Is it normal that i get a rush off of hurting people?

26% Normal
11 Comments

I have never suffered a traumatic event in my life but I have always
gotten a rush of adrenaline from fantasizing about hurting people. I have never actually hurt someone physically however I can say that I have lied and possibly manipulated people in the past, sometimes because I find it fun. I enjoy having people fear me and being able to have control of people and situations. Recently my life has become more stressful and I feel that I am having a harder time suppressing and restraining from these urges of physical violence.
I know people all get a bit cranky now and then but I am coming to realize that this behaviour may not be normal, what do I do?

    Not normal. How would you feel if you were the person being hurt, used, manipulated an or intimidated?

      i'd feel like i came from a family with no wealth or social status. i'd feel like i wasn't very important in the eyes of anyone of value. i'd feel like my boyfriend.

      Very good and fun, especially with the adrenaline that's involved

    Normal, but stop fantasizing. It's time to act.

    I cant say its "normal" but id be a hypocrite if i havent thought the same, although when i do its ussually out of anger if someone else has hurt me, but if you fantasise about hurting random people, who have not done anything to you, sorry to say but that is officially sadistic

    But dont worry that dosent mean you are instantly at the bottom of the social ladder, you can still get help or try and find other means of extinguishing all the anger and stress built up inside, I know this might sound patronizing but maybe take up a hobby like boxing or tai kwon do or something physical, it helps me and maybye it will help you

    Sociopath, possible but unlikely, he sounds more to me like a sadist, especially because he uses pain in others to relieve stress. It depends if it turns him on or not. Serial killer in the making? Really?

    You are legitimately a sociopath.

    Everybody has a need to feel in control

    Especially people with a lot of testosterone.

    But it's not normal man. Get some help, it'll be okay.

    Not normal. See a therapist. You said you were under a lot of stress and someone could get hurt. It's time to get help to help you cope with the stress and urges!
