Is it normal to have intrusive violent thoughts when with people ?
I am a male, over 20. One reason I try avoiding interacting with people on any level are these intrusive thoughts that involuntarily come. It started since I was little, and I can't explain it without giving examples. For instance, whenever I see a knife nearby and get these anxiety like I have to stab someone. Like I feel afraid of myself that I am having these thoughts.
These intrusive and anxiety causing thoughts occur in my everyday life, and the more I am around people, even my family and friends, I get these thoughts.
When I am with strangers, I feel highly paranoid and these intrusive thoughts feel normal.
