Is it normal to want something tragic to happen?

I've always wanted something tragic to happen to me. Like a close death or traumatic experience. Nothing has really ever happened to me and i lead a considerably simple life. I just feel like I have no life experience and can't relate to anything. And i feel something's gonna have to happen eventually... Am I just a brat or is this normal?

    Why would you even want something to happen to you. When it does, the tragic can be death, for you.

    When I was younger I had lived a very abusive life. My father was very dominating and used physical forms of regaining control very freely. I felt very insignificant in my life. My mother was my balance and she was the goodness that I had in my life. My sister was a drama queen and always wanted attention by being the black sheep of the family. I was relatively quiet. But when I was confused and hurting and my mother couldn't understand me I got frustrated and wished something tragic to happen to her when I shouldn't of even wished that on my father. One day I got the call when I was 21 at College that my mother took her life. I was devastated. All my hurtful feelings against her replayed in my and felt so guilty. I didn't learn to later on when I had kids that we are all very powerful thinkers. What ever you think or say out loud you can set in motion a ripple effect. So as they say, "be careful what you ask for, you just might get it" is very true. Same is true for success. So just understand you hold a lot more influence than you like to think. Test the good but don't test the bad. 'It will happen'. Good luck :)

    Its normal but with life experience comes a lot of pain...don't wish for it so much, the older you get the more these things start happening and its not nice to loose people close to you and its then that you start wishing you were a kid again with all those people still there and with you not knowing about pain!

    I think this is normal, i feel the same time sometimes, when i'm lonely.

    I do think it have a connection with loneliness, there's a part of you that wants attention, not the bad attention but the attention that makes everything easier for you.

    I though have had several tragic happenings in my life, 1 friend dies in a car accident when i was 15, and another friend took suicide when i was 13. I also know many people who took suicide but which i didn't knew too well. Even though you are feeling this way, you do not really want it to happen, when it happen you'd want everything to change it back, you will have bad dreams, like, seriously, you will make up in the middle of the night scared like hell, and even though you knew its a dream you'll still be just as scared, because you wake up, and remembers how f'ed up reality is at the moment. If someone kills themself you will constantly deny it and be afraid there is a killer going lose, and you're waiting for him, planning what you would do if he enters the room when you try to sleep. So believe me, it is not anything you want.

    But it's not something you should be guilty about, there are probably many lonely people who feels the same, including me.

    Good luck in life!

    just because nothing bad has happened to you, that doesnt mean you havent had any life experiences. if you want life experiences, get out of your parents basement and do something with your life you stupid child.
