Is it normal that i have no limit to my evil thoughts?

I have noticed, ever since I was young, that I didn't have a limit to my thoughts. I can imagine tragically violent scenes and I typically don't feel anything towards them. At times, I feel certain twinges of pain and emotions but it is more often that I simply feel nothing. This has helped me excel in academia and my jobs, for instance, I am a rape counselor and a historian. It helps me get into the mind set. I don't typically imagine violent scenes unless I'm forced to think of them (what would happen if you mom died in a car accident, for example)

Now, with that being said, I'm not a sociopath. When I see pain in front of me, I react. For example, I hit someone by mistake once and I bloodied their noise and I felt extreme sadness and anxiety. I feel happiness and joy from the little things such as my girlfriend buying me a necklace, so I have feelings.

I've also noticed that I don't tend to enjoy drams because I can never suspend my disbelief. I always feel like I'm watching something and I always feel that the characters are flawed.

Is it normal?

    Thinking and seeing are two completely different things.

    I wouldn't say this is something everyone does but I would say its not normal. I mean I have quite a vivid imgination and sometimes I imagine horrible things, I don,t feel that bad about it simply because I know I don't actually want these things to happen and in reality if they did or I witnessed such an event I would be devastated. Personally its a coping mechanism,

    I would say that you are normal. I am the same way. I do agree with the other posters, sit down and write a book. It will help a surprising amount. The book is like a sponge that sucks up all the rage, bitterness, and malice you didn't even know existed. Ever since I wrote a 50k book in November, I've become a calmer person, more rational, I get to sleep faster and easier, and I imagine less violent things.

      Hey, would that 50k book have been for NaNoWriMo, by chance?

        Yep. I stayed up so late one night that the mental strain caused me to hallucinate up until today, so it was totally worth it. lol

    As I often say to many other people who leave these kinds of post, write a story. Just because you have negative, violent thoughts doesn't mean that it has to be a bad thing. Learn how to channel it. Be creative. Write a story, a song, a poem. Figure out how to take these dark thoughts and make them work for you.
