    Depends on how much aggression, if you ever feel this way towards an actual person or living being I strongly suggest getting help.

    But right now I'm picturing you as a real life version of the hulk. lol

    Maybe because it's just a "Guy" thing, but that's really regular...

    its normal. aggression is a beautiful and powerful emotion, and the people who think theres something wrong with it lack the aggression that you have =)

    Wow, I never thought of anyone else having this too. I guess I never really thought about it. I've destroyed things ever since I can remember. My mom says I should go into the destruction business. lol. Like bulldozing houses and stuff. Who knows.

    totally normal mate, i used to use smashing stuff to control my anger, i would get so mad i wouldnt know what to do, started punching walls, which DO NOT DO!! iv broken pretty much every bone in my hand and struggle to move it properly nowadays, but smashing other stuff up is fine as long as its urs.
    i threw my cd player out my window once cos the cd kept skippin, but nothing wrong with the cd!! then kicked it shitless, felt damn good after!!lol

    I used to work at a computer shop for a couple of years, and every few months or so we'd take some old, fried junk computer out back and take turns busting it up with a baseball bat, just for fun.

    I think it's perfectly normal, as long as it's controlled and not actually busting anything important or belonging to anyone. Of course, don't hurt anyone either.

    U should find a more constructive outlet for this desire. i would say try ripping paper but ur impulse sounds much stronger than this. Maybe u should try doing the opposite of destroying things and try the other extreme - creating things -sculpting sounds like its perfect for u it is a good stress reliever and you can build it up and knock it down as often as u like. Also if u can appreciate the hard work and time put into making ur own creations i think u would be less inclined to destroy things

    It's perfectly normal for you to have such aggression. It's part of becoming a man, but you will have to do your best to control these feelings or you'll turn into an asshole. Just relax and listen to some Bob Marley.
