Is it normal to have extreme violent thoughts?

So I have extremely violent urges and thoughts. Like I want to kill someone just for the thrill of it, to see their fear and to see them struggle for their lives. I think all the time about different ways to kill and how I would get away with it. The thrill of seeing life fade strikes me as beautifull and an amazing thing. Creepy. I know. :( I am fascinated with violence, torture, and murder. It is almost an obsession.

I could never act on these urges(I am a pacifist and a wimp) and am not concerned with whether I would kill someone and am a very sweet person, normally(I've never been in a fight in my life). But it is a nagging obsessive desire.

Is It Normal?

  • you kinda sound like me, except i don't really obsess over it. but i think like that when i'm really mad at someone. the only reason i don't act on it is because i couldn't handle going to jail.

    so yeah, if you don't want to get in serious trouble, i'd sugguest not acting on those thoughts.

  • i'd say that as long as you have the perspective to know that acting on it would nOT be normal, then thinking about it is fine. everybody thinks about some off-colour stuff that they wouldn't like the world to know!
    i would try not to obsess about it though, dont spend too much time thinking about it, just very occasionally indulge in these thoughts.
