Is it normal to want to hurt/destroy things and people?

I get urges to hurt people and small animals. I want to tear thing apart for no apparent reason. I just want to cause pain and destruction. I don't know where these urges come from, but they are moderately difficult to suppress. I do feel guilty about them, especially if I act on them. Is something wrong with me?

    Not OK.
    what you dislike is not people or animals.
    It's how you've been treated.
    You can do better.
    Don't let anyone tell you anything else.
    My guess is you have just you to rely on.
    That doesn't make it easy.
    But it's still a choice.
    You can choose to move forward, or you can choose to fail.
    I hope you make the right choice.

    I suggest you get counseling right away, before you cross that line and someone either kills you or you end up in jail. Or worse yet you hurt or harm someone.

    Get therapy. And to the two people that voted this as normal, get therapy too. You should never want to hurt the innocent. Hurting small animals is the first step to devolving into a human killer. You should get help to learn to suppress this urges better, because it seems you have given in a few times at least. Which is 100% NOT normal. Animal cruelty has a very strong connection to serial killers. Very famous killers almost all have started out with animals.
    Not only is is horrendous, it is also very cowardly to do harm to something that is basically incapable of fighting back. Please, please get some help. You arent going to like what you're going to turn into.

    take antipsychotics plus benzos to dampen such impulses.

    Sounds difficult. I'm sorry you have these feelings. You do need a therapist I think.

    I think some of these comments are a little harsh. I have had feelings like the OP does and I have barely hurt any people and I have never hurt any animals.

    Normal. We all have bad days, bad moods, life drama that piss us off and make us feel like we want to punch a random stranger in the face or rip rabbits ears off.
