Whenever I hold a baby I think about how easy it would be to kill it. How easy it would be to smother it and or throw it. I love kids and would never do it but I just think about it.
I think most people's brain goes to the worst possible scenario in most situations. Probably some evolutionary thing. Best not to be a psychopath though
When I hold a baby I think of the parents having sex and what that looked like.
It is named 'intrusive thoughts' and i am suffering from it too. I also think about how easy would it be to stab myself/a family member/ a friend with it and i can't escape from these thoughts. You shouldn't think of it much or else it becomes worse.
I have only held a tiny baby maybe once in my life. I think my main thought was this little guy is lighter than my Siamese cat.
I think what you experience is sort of an invasive thought thing, and I want to say that it's not entirely uncommon, but that it is more common with people who have obsessive compulsive disorder. I could be wrong of course.
Assuming you aren't a psychopath, if you ever have a baby of your own you'll probably think similar thoughts when you hold it, and they'll terrify you.
Nobody really understands what it's like to be a parent until they are one. It's only when you become responsible for the care of an infant that you really understand how fragile and vulnerable children are, and how many dangers and evils exist in the world.
Actually this is pretty common as is thinking of squeezing it to death. It's called cute aggression.
People who think this way are safety-minded. They are more spatially aware and better at planning.
I think it's normal, there's no harm in thinking.
You don't actually WANT to do it, that is what's important.
I always think "what if I stepped in front of this truck", or "what if I just punched this person in the face? How much would that change everything?"
Totally normal, and harmless, imo.
Hmmm ok....but to be fair I have had some fucked up thoughts to so I can't judge you.
I don't like to hold/take care of anyone else's children, because some parents are crazy. I always imagine some mom letting me hold her infant child then suddenly, "What's this bruise on my little Jessica's forehead!?! I'M SUING YOU" And I'm like, "What? I only held her for 30 secs and never touched her head!!"
That, and I'm always so scared I'll drop that baby and it turns out retarded or something.
I was once told that this is a way of OCD. People who get to hold a baby and think they'll throw them through the window.
Do you, for example, when you are standing near a train platform, think of jumping?
