Is it normal to want to hurt, maim or kill some random person?

I occasionally get the urge to severely harm some random person, for no reason (although this feeling is heightened when I'm stressed). On the basis of semi-personal information, I think that I am a schizoid/sociopath. I am not saying that these to things are synonymous with each other, rather that I demonstrate a variety of symptoms for both.
Back to killing, I am usually content with simply observing people, or, at the very lease, daydreaming about torturing someone. And I don't really think that I am that bad of a person. I mean, if you ask anyone who knows me, they'd probably say that I am a sweet person who would never hurt anyone. Haha. And I haven't actually hurt anyone (in real life at lease), but that's not to say that, if given't the opportunity, I wouldn't cause someone some very serious and permanent damage. Not just yet. ;)

    You want to hurt people but consider yourself a good person? If I suddenly had the urge to kill random people I would seek immediate medical attention. Not going through with it doesnt make you a good person, it just makes you a shitty person with no followthrough.

    Why a random person, why not find someone who deserves it?

    I'd say it's normal if you don't follow through with it. I enjoy toying around with the idea of torturing or more to my taste, violently killing someone. Usually it's when i'm bored or i just really dont like a certain person. keep it as fantasy and you'll be just fine :)

    Do you think you feel this way because of anger, or just because you like thinking these things?
    Most sociopaths are not homicidal either.

      No, it's not because I'm angry, it's more of a giddy feeling, but it is related to stress, i.e. I feel more homicidal when I'm stressed, but not towards any specific person or with any anger, as I said, it's more of a giddy desire to cut someone up. ;)
      And yes, I do know that most sociopaths are not killers. I'm usually a very rational and logical person, too.

    Seek help from a mental health professional!

    My opinion is that it is normal. Violence is in human nature; the Romans, you think the audience came to watch bloodbath because the prisoners deserved it? No, they didn't. They came to watch it for sport, they'd even engrave the names of their favourite competitors in the granite benches. Fantasizing about slaughter is not the same as doing it. If the opportunity came to you and you took it, without any witnesses, then that is not normal. If that is the case, it could denote hidden sociopathic personality. Fantasizing is not doing, as wanting is not receiving.

    You really need to seek help, you have some kind of an unbalance in your brain, seek immediate medical attention and get on the appropriate medication, or attention you need, before you hurt or kill somebody!
