So,sometimes when I'm maybe thinking about my crush for example I'll have thoughts in my head that in mid conversation with her I will do something really gross or over the top.Like she may be telling me about her day(keep note this is all in my head thinking about what I will say before I see her)and then my thoughts will randomly cut to where I try to touch her inappropriately , which I would never do,or maybe me just spitting into the water fountain while we are talking,Which id also never do.And it's not just with people I like its with family members,Friends,even teachers and such.Id really never do this in real life but why?Why dose my brain make me do stupid,embarrassing,disgusting things in front of people when I'm thinking about them!? And IIN?

    The brain is certainly a weird creature, but don't worry!! You are NOT your thoughts and they are simply passing thoughts that won't harm you or anyone unless acted upon by the person then that's when you should start worrying. I also have had random thoughts at times that have even been disturbing. I am like why the fuck would I think that when I wouldn't do it if it was the last thing in the world. So just think "oh what a weird thought" and carry on with whatever your doing and try focusing on what the person ( in your case- your crush)is saying or doing.

    I sometimes have the urge to suddenly shout out something really embarrasing or stupid, e.g. in a meeting.

    I had the EXACT same issue starting at 14. I'm 26 now and it has worsened over time. If it becomes constantly inappropriate in a sexual sense, see a psychologist. I had a criminal history, and was once court order diagnosed as "antisocial" but that's bull, I'm not that bad.

    I'm in psych assessment once a month at the moment, and she says it's "hedonistic narcissism" not "antisocial disorder". But seriously, when I was young it was like you describe but then it started warping and the thoughts became far more inappropriate and in a sense, dangerous.

    I have random thoughts about everyone which I cannot control. Some of them are really disgusting or disturbing. But like someone said YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS!

      Engage God and He will come

    I think everyone has their weird moments like that. For me, whenever I use scissors, I think about poking them in my eye and how awful that would be. I would never actually do it, of course, and I don't have self-destructive tendencies, but my brain is always, like, "Hey...why don't you think about sticking that in your eye?"

    As long as you aren't dwelling on these thoughts unduly or feeling compelled to act on them, I'd say it's pretty normal.
