Is it normal to think of killing

When I'm on the road and stuff, I always think out of nowhere "What if I just crash into this person. How would it change there lives. What if I die? who would miss me? how many lives would change? what happens to my facebook?" stuff like that. I'm kinda scared I might kill myself just because of these thoughts. Not like suicidal, I'm happy with my life. But I just get compelled with my thought LOL is this normal?

    I think of weird shit too, and ESPECIALLY when I'm driving! But I know why I think of it. Normally someone sets me off. They put me down, or make me feel like I'm not good enough or something, so then I think, "What if I just knocked them out?".But I kinda know I never will. That would mess up my life, and theirs too.

    And I honestly was just thinking about this about an hour ago when I was out with my mom. I kept thinking to myself, I hope I don't do anything that I know I'm gonna regret in a fit of rage or in the heat of the moment sorta thing.

    I mean, I got into an argument with my brother a couple nights ago. He was getting on my last nerve, and I decided to listen to my music. He came over and pulled my head phones out of my ears, so I got really angry. I picked up a newspaper b/c it was the closest thing to me that I could throw, and then I stormed out of my house, and took a drive b/c I thought I was gonna punch him or something. So I just thought to myself, "I have to leave". I have to go somewhere. I need to cool off. I ended up driving around aimlessly in tears for only about 10 minutes, and then said, "fuck it! I'm going to my sisters, and I'll cry to her about it." I really just needed to vent to someone, and I really don't have many people I can talk to, and its hard to spill stuff to friends sometimes, so I went there. We went shopping, and I became level headed, but felt such guilt for the way I acted. It was disgusting!

    What works best for me, is obviously just stopping myself, and saying, "You know you can't do something so stupid like that(punching him.)" And I run away to cool off.

  • I think about stuff like this at least 5 times a day. I don't know what sets it off...

    I'll return to this post. I want to know if other people consider this normal.

    OMG! Actually so glad I found this. When I'm on the road I always have these thoughts. Especially when I'm on the bus going to school, I think, "what if the bus driver just swerved a bit and hit that car?" I also can't help but when I'm in the passenger seat with my mum driving and do the same thing. I always stare at the cars coming at us and just imagine the destruction. It worries me because I'll be getting my licence soon and I wonder if I'll actually do anything. I mean, I doubt I will, but the thought is still there.

    I think I would go as far as to say it's a healthy thing to have those thoughts and know in your animal self your capable to achieve or do anything!

  • Don't kill yourself though.

  • I wish the chickens in Ocarina of Time would have thought like you when they were shredding me with their little claws.

    Yeah it happens sometimes to wonder the ''what if'' stuff. Rather not because it gives me ideas and then I think of it for a while. (good or bad)

    Well I might be weird but it's normal because I would love to kill people and make them feel pain.
