I have always had a strong urge to hurt someone, not to the extent of major harm but just cut them and bruise them. I can almos always keep it under control but when even I have an excuse to "accidentally" hurt someone I will.
Is sadist. Wanting to hurt someone in this “minor” physical way for stimulation.
A psycho/sociopath is just a self cantered asshole essentially, and many are not violent.
True also. I have experience with a sadistic possible sociopath.
I think many sociopaths are sadist though.
There’s definitely a crossover, both share the retarded feature of having the same cognitive empathy as everyone else in the world but no affective empathy.
I doubt I am a socio/psychopath as I can understand how other people feel.
They can. Cognitive empathy is understanding how they feel, but affective empathy is that understanding effecting you emotionally. They understand that someone is hurt and how they feel just as well as other people do, they just don’t care because it doesn’t make them feel concern about it.

Wanting to hurt others is because you are hurting and you want to have other feel the pain that you are feeling .
Hurting others will not easy you're pain it will only make matters worse for yourself and others .
It's natural to cope with negative feelings by imagining another in pain. Some will write angry notes and tear them up after, some will scream into a pillow. Ultimately we have our own methods to 'venting' emotions.
If you desire to cause pain to others who've not wronged you in any way or have something about them you dislike then I'd have to assume you have sadistic tendencies. Many fail to realise being a sadist doesn't necessarily mean you gain sexual pleasure from hurting others, it can simply be one who harms another person and enjoys it, whether it give them a sense of calm, causes a smile or a sense of accomplishment.
You clearly know it's wrong and attempt to control it at times. Psychopaths, while aware of right from wrong, simply don't care. Sociopaths have a conscience but don't allow it to get in their way. Given the fact that you attempt to maintain self control, this leads me to believe you're not a sociopath nor a psychopath.
I don't use hurting people to cope with negative feelings. I don't think that what I am doing is necessarily wrong but yes I do doubt I am a psychopath/sociopath as I most of the time control myself or else I would probably never be able to hold a job.
When you say "I don't think what I am doing is necessarily wrong" do you mean that you feel those you're causing harm deserve it in some way or another?
That sounds pretty normal, just don’t get caught or you’ll look like a creep.
I'm into CP so I cane bare bums and have mine caned. Don't dislike any bare bottom!
What about hurting someone do you enjoy? Do you like the reaction to pain, or looking at the injury
