Is it normal that i want an apocalypse?

A zombie apocalypse to be exact. It all started with Dawn of Dead, Night of the Living Dead, and those kinds of movies. Then I started watching The Walking Dead. Ever since I began watching those things I have been fascinated with the idea of Zombies overrunning the earth.

I know it's wrong to wish such destruction on humanity, but I can't help it. I know it will probably never happen, but I dream about it happening. I take knives from the kitchen and stalk around in the woods behind my house. I also have a sword, a crossbow, and a Red Rider BB gun, along with hacksaws and other common tools.

It has gotten to the point that I have become paranoid, carrying pocket knives and small screwdrivers in my pocket with me everywhere I go. I have food, water, maps, and other supplies stashed away. I have worked on my cardio and made sure to stay in decent shape, even to the point that I have made an "obstacle course" of sorts. I've practiced picking locks, making tournequets, and other skills I may need to survive.

I know it's wrong for me to think this way, and deep down I don't really want an apocalypse to happen, I just like to pretend. Is this normal? Does anyone else do something similar?

    I use to get worried myself but at the same time I was obsessed. I love zombie movies. I do think you are taking a bit too much fiction into reality though, you shouldn't really be paranoid. I think it's good that you are always prepared for a disaster or something but zombies? I don't know.

    I think all this fascination and obsession may be taking away from your life or what could be.

    Give it 20 years or so and you can probably create a virtual apocalypse pretty easily with motion control and some of the newer advancements with virtual reality software.

    If that sounds close enough, check out the Oculus Rift and the Virtuix Omni. They're a duo of items that could potentially allow for walking around in games with your own feet and seeing with your own eyes into the game world.

    Go to Syria. It's close enough to apocalyptic.

    remember what you wish for..most of the times youre not the main character.You might as well be the poor nameless guy that gets eaten on the prologue.

  • I think a large majority of people want the same thing. However, I used to want it to be a zombie one, but after playing "The last of us" and "Falling Skies", I am unsure on what type I would enjoy more.

    Either way, an apocalypse of any sort is something I really want. Ironically, I just think it would make humans more pure to their natural instincts.
