Yes, but I don't really like them, they are more like intrusive thoughts. Like I get fixated on thinking about a certain topic and sometimes that topic is violence, even though I would NEVER carry out what I think of.

 

[Remus]

Nope not much, no more than a normal person

 

[philly2bits]

Sometimes. I don't have fantasies about violence like you mentioned though. Basically if I'm angry at something I feel like slamming my fists or something. I think that's fairly normal for most people though.

Yes, more than a "normal" person. Though I have been attempting to catch these thoughts and put them aside, so that I might be able to "regulate" my thoughts and emotions in a less counter-productive pattern. Think this is a part of my "emotional dysregulation" that my psychologist has been talking about.

I used too because of Pure O. But not so much anymore thank God.

Luckily for me, not too many people know what I'm guilty of inside of my own head.

Violent aspirations, but I never act on them.

I think I'm a pacifist, for the most part. However, in certain cases, I can't seem to follow that. Particularly, if I've been mistreated.

 

[lyricalliaisons]

I picked "Yes, but rarely. I think I'm normal." I sometimes do have violent thoughts, but, though I don't like them, I know they're not dangerous & I would never act on them. They're intrusive thoughts that come out of nowhere & rarely happen, but I don't consider them to be a huge deal, even though I hate having them since I'm a very anti-violent, non-violent person.

 

[Day_Tripper]

I want to punch people I'm annoyed by. Like people who are shallow or ignorant (especially over the internet! No one here, of course). But I don't have deep violent thoughts that I get satisfaction out of.

I didn't read your post before answering the poll, so my violent thoughts are directed a bit differently than you described but still usually happen often enough that they're an issue for me. I haven't been having them as much lately because I've been feeling a bit better. I usually get them in my depressive states or weird elated ones. They tend to have to do with me being hurt or traumatized, usually by a guy. I have other ones that are just very violent images of people I know being hurt, but not by me.

 

[nopark]

I voted "No, never." I don't remember the last time I had a violent thought. Even when I'm super depressed or angry I don't feel violent.

Last week something happened at work and it made me the angriest I'd been in a long time, and even then all I did was spew a long string of profanity and stare out into space for a while.

 

[freestylemonster]

I have violent thoughts when I'm depressed. I always have visions of me bashing my head into the wall and stuff. Luckily I don't get depressed as much anymore

 

[TheStatue]

As a bullied and scared teenager I used to. I shut all anger inside and fantasized about the most violent acts imaginable against those who tormented me (knowing of course that I would never really do something that stupid). But not any more.

Can't remembered having a single violent thought in years. Quite the opposite actually. I now have huge respect for everything with a consciousness, and do everything I can to help the people around me. I try to just accept others as they are, regardless of how weird they may be. Because, in the end, that is what makes me feel good.

 

[zlench]

Yep but would never hurt anyone just wouldn't be fair.
