Well, if you start to obsess about it you might have OCD. If they just pass through your head it's totally normal. Everyone thinks these thoughts once in a while. You're perfectly OK.

No I don't obsess over them, and when they go through my head I am usually shocked with myself. Another example is if I'm have a friendly talk with someone and I just wonder what people would do if I just spit in that person's face :Q, and then I'm mad at myself for even thinking it. I'm glad to hear this happens to most people, it happens at MOST once a month for me. Maybe the people who don't have these thoughts occassionally are the ones we should worry about.

Haha you freak out because you think about spitting on people are punching them. Seems like you're too nice if you think those are evil thoughts!

For example, you are talking to this nice lady, or an old person is chatting away, and you wonder what it would be like to just punch the lady in the face as hard as you could? Or another example, someone is being nice to you and you just want to yell out a ton of obsenities and just go off on that person? Or a final example, you just wonder what it would be like if you just T-boned the next car you saw as fast as you could?

It is wierd.

Did you forget to take your medicine again?
 
I have the "put my fist through the monitor" or "jerk the steering wheel into another car" thoughts sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, but I manage to put them off, obviously. 😀
 
I've yet to meet a person that I haven't pictured killing/torturing in some way. Be it from slowly removing their skin with a razor, to chaining them up and shoving lemen soaked toothpicks under their nails, or placing a dead body in a wastebasket with some flies, so the new grubs will clean the skeleton clean, and I could make furniture from the bones.

Unless I actually commit these, I don't consider myself insane.

I thought about punching my dense, dull manager in the nuts today. It was pretty satisfying, and I can't say I woulda felt bad about it.

Well I'm not really talking about when you are mad at someone, or if you are in a bad mood. I'm talking like if you are in a fine mood and the nice little old lady is talking to you, you just all of a sudden wonder what it would be like to punch her right in the mouth. I think that's a different sort of thought process than road rage, or wanting to kick somebody who offends you or annoys you.

It's not like I act on them...they just pop into my head.
 
Being a man, I only think about sex. Finest girls, Tall girls, short girls, skinny girls, fat girls. What does her ... look like, how would it feel to be penetrating it.

Dmn, I'm curious.
 
Sounds like repressed anger, mis- or re-directed? Unless it's a 'guy thing', I can't imagine what else might prompt wanting to harm innocent people in such a manner, though it is good you can just think it and not do it 🙂

Unless you're LordJezo, who would be thinking more along the lines of how her handbag totally clashes with her shoes. 😀
