by StormThis may be a sensitive subject to some. In that case just don't answer... But are you turned on or aroused by seeing violence towards people?
This has also something to do with how I feel about weapons. All kinds of weapons... Knives, swords, guns, etc.
Yes.
Yes.
by StormDo sadists fantasize about killing or have urges to kill people? In that case sadists are a lot more dangerous than people in general think.
Some do, yes.
I'm a sadist and I get urges to kill people, but I don't think that makes me any more dangerous than anybody else, unless I act on it. It's the action itself that's dangerous, not the urge.
by whoameyeI dont beleave you are to different than the rest of the people in this world, What stands you apart is your ability to come out and say something about it, you sir are mentaly stronger than most. Dont wory about what other people think. Do what makes you happy, but remember there are repercussions for your actions, as long as you can live with that, you are good
Thanks! But I am different in some ways though I mostly hide it. This is not something I've told anyone about irl either. I don't worry about what people think, but it's something else that prevents me from giving into whatever it is. The only reason to do it would be because of what it could give me and I'm not sure it's worth it.
by Thrill KillBy separating yourself from your urges, you're not really dealing with them. Defense mechanisms don't solve problems, they simply mask them. You clearly have some issues with violence that you're not willing to accept. Maybe if you figured out why you feel the way you do, you may be able to deal with it better.
I personally don't see violence as bad or wrong. There are 7 billion people in the world. As far as I am concerned, people giving birth to three or more kids in an already over-populated world is worse than murder.
Everyone got defense mechanism to some degree... I don't really think there is much more to figure out than I already have. I've had this since childhood and I had a good upbringing so it must be something genetic. I don't think there is any point in dealing with it since I can handle it. I am discussing it right now, and that is perhaps dealing with it in some way.
I don't see violence as wrong either. It depends on the situation... My first reaction if someone has done something really bad against me, is that I want to kill the person. Also that I sometimes hate all people and the world. I actually seriously think that perhaps it would be better if the world ended. This is for personal reasons... Like if I can't be happy why should there be a world at all? That everyone would die is not so important.

Perhaps it doesn't if you can control the urge. But actions do often start with thoughts (or fantasies). Apart from that I agree completely with you. An urge is not dangerous if it's not acted upon.
by TurncoatExactly. At least based on my past history of compulsions, imagining the sheer need of that being something like murder would drive me up the wall.
I don't think it becomes a real need until after one has killed. Lots people have perhaps wondered how it would be to kill someone... Those who act on it are very few.
Many who wonder don't have urges related to it either, save for maybe when pissed off. I'm not saying having such urges predestines someone to kill, but such torture sounds unpleasant without an outlet to channel it toward, since acting on it offers it's fair share of liability risk.
My former urges were far more inconsequential, and even those were no fun to fret over.
