Is it normal that i sometimes imagine myself choking people

I have been training brazilian jiu jitsu for about 3 years now an on occasions While im sitting in school I imagine myself choking people. Im not sure i its normal or not so i recently told my parents and they suggested that I ask my bjj professor but im kind of embarrassed.
Im just kind of worried because I dont want to think that I am going to become some sort of killer or something lime that james holmes guy or something because usually the descriptions for these killers say that they are shy quiet kids and Im kind of like that. I mean I dont have friends that I hang out with but i am somewhat social. Any opinions?

Is It Normal?

  • And I also think that the person who wrote this needs to get help!!! It's obvious that these are the types of people who become killers. I'm really shocked that people on this site can even write shit like this. That really horrible.

  • @Guesswho- That's horribly scary. I'm such a paranoid person and I find myself thinking that guys around me are thinking about raping or killing me because, not to toot my own horn, but I'm a beautiful, tall brunette that keeps herself looking hot. I think it's horrible that you think about, literally cutting people up, and strangling them with their own intestines. That makes me really concerned. Who cares if you haven't done anything yet. This is crazy!

  • I often imagine myself doing much worse than just choking them... like disembowelling them and strangling them with their own intestines...
    DIE MOTHERFUCKERS! MWAHAHAHA!

    ...but seriously, I haven't actually done anything yet, I'm sure you'll also be fine.
    Just keep your urges to yourself.

  • Don't listen to the devil below Kedders. We live in a violent culture, I imagine many violent but fictional scenarios (in stories), I don't think its healthy, or mature, but it's not overwhelming. Maybe your heads too much in the game and you can't leave it at your gym or whatever. If that's the case, I would tell your instructor, because if anyone would know, he would. But if it doesn't feel write, try looking online for other people that have a problem shaking that type of mindset off.

  • It's very healthy that you are concerned about it, and that alone tells me that you are probably not likely to hurt someone. People who are killers, to see anything wrong with it, and infact they enjoy it. Considering you have you don't want to hurt anyone, I think it's safe to say that you won't. We all have violent tendencies, sometimes, it's part of our nature, some just don't have control over it. You sound like someone who does :)
