anyone else get these
I dunno sometimes I think about crazy, abnormal shit. Like I'll be at a b2b event for my job and I'm talking to the owner of a tech startup, or this old tycoon-type guy and all I can think about is throwing a haymaker at them. Just like as hard as I can possibly hit them. Hopefully they just like slump down so it doesn't have to be more than one punch.
Or like if I'm on a straight section of highway and there's moderate traffic, I will just test my fine motor control by seeing how long I can let myself drive with my eyes closed. Never have made it past like 5 seconds without scaring the shit out of myself but I wonder if I could ever train myself to go for longer.
Maybe I just need counseling or some shit but I like to think I'm a pretty normal guy outside of these weirdo ideas that pop into my head once in a blue moon
eh

This is why I don't stand close to the tracks when at a subway station/etc. I know there's some fucker out there that is thinking about pushing me in.
Normally the only thoughts I'll get are self-harm things.

Not trolling but you might, just might, have a mild case of Tourette's syndrome. You probably don't, but those sort of persistent thoughts can be a symptom.

this kind of sounds like what i have but with different situations.

I think stuff like this a lot too. I think about how my family doesn't lock the doors or anything and how most other people in my neighborhood are the same way. The only thing stopping me from walking into some random person's house and stealing their shit is the fact that I'm not an asshole...

While sitting in school, I've probably thought of a hundred different ways to kill someone and get away with it/if there was a shooter on campus, how I would take him down because guys playing video games makes me able to disarm him right

I hate it when I get those. I don't like standing close to tall ledges because I keep thinking of what it would be like to jump off.

It's pretty common to have these thoughts. One of my acting teachers encouraged us to have these kinds of thoughts when in scenes, which he labeled "side-ways thinking". Having thoughts along these same lines while being another person can deepen your relationship and investment in a character.
Everyone has these kind of feelings and more often than not they vanish before they're even fully formed.

this is the entire basis of my fear of heights

some of my friends get a similar feeling in the kitchen (they're chefs)
they just feel like stabbing someone
it's really bad

I have memories come around all the time can't help but replay them. I think it's part of the reason why I feel so shitty all the time lol. Not any PTSD shit - just random memories that don't relate in any way to the current situation.
I also, during my thesis writing, tended to forget what year it was. Yeah, people don't look at you funny if you ask what date it is, or even hazard a guess, but when you write "19..." and then stop and look at them, and they see it, it takes a little explaining.

I get a similar feeling except instead of jumping I imagine any way I could fall.
Phobias are probably a good example of intrusive thoughts with a well defined trigger.

That's just daydreaming. Wouldn't call it that intrusive.

I remember having a discussion like this multiple times with friends on mumble. It's quite something. Often have thoughts like "man I wonder what it'd be like to jump off/over this" or to get on some train tracks.

Similar to intrusive thoughts.

Its weird I have same thing but in the opposite way. Like if i'm in an elevator with a bunch of strangers I think about giving someone a hug or telling them to have a great day or that they are a valuable person. Or I think about how much of a harder day someone else is having. Man it is really distracting.

I always have the urge when sitting next to someone in class to just somehow acquire a cast iron frying pan and haymake the back of their head with it. The thought of the "TWANG!" and their head smashing and rebounding off the table makes me giggle a bit.
Ragdolls are always hilarious too.
FUCKED UP

I get them sometimes, though different from thinking about how I can just jump off a cliff if I'm near one, and they're sometimes completely fucked up. At work one night, a coworker and I were "breaking the rules"* by having him stand on the forks of the forklift and I lift him up to the third rack so he can get some cereal out of the backroom. At one point I thought, "You know, I could really fuck him up right now if I wanted to." Immediately thereafter, I felt really bad.
What sucks the most is that these thoughts are completely random and I would never do anything to purposely harm someone. Even knowing this, whenever it happens I just find myself really confused as to why these thoughts could be possible.
At least they're not always extreme. Sometimes I will see a random person and think about how I could just punch them in the face if I really wanted to.
* = it's technically breaking the rules and anyone can get fired for it, but the store pretty much allows us to do what we need to do as long as we don't let any of the super important people know.

EggplantNot trolling but you might, just might, have a mild case of Tourette's syndrome. You probably don't, but those sort of persistent thoughts can be a symptom.
Don't really feel like I should respond to this, but maybe if you could be right, the odds of you being correct are pretty low. Even though these thoughts are generally "fucked up", it's not like it doesn't happen to anyone and the only people it happens to are psychopaths or people with a mental problem. You'll see it's quite common w/ people (from my experience) and there's no way that many people all are secret psychopaths or have mental problems.
It's just as easy for me to have these thoughts randomly as it would be to have thoughts on the opposite side of the spectrum as well. "Oh man, I could really just go up to that guy and give him a happy-go-lucky hug right now!"

Ok the driving I can understand, but this? This is just sick. Risking your entire team's round like that. Please never do that again for the sake of your poor team mates

I wish you could see the things I'm thinking of doing to you when I imagine you closing your eyes causes an accident that hurts my children.

Not necessarily.Everyone can have these kind of thoughts.
Up to a certain level its normal dude, nothing to worry about. From being in traffic and thinking "I could probably kill 3-4 people right now just by going into the incoming traffic" to having devious sexual thoughts and stuff like that. Things that people would consider sick and disgusting.
99% of the time is just a passing thought, altough really uncomfortable. It's a sudden impulse thought that shouldn't affect anyone much, if it really starts affecting you and messing with your head then I might advise seeking help

sorry for saying that, but you are a fucking idiot for doing that! even thinking about training that shit...i don't know you and i'm just guessing you aren't a bad person at all, but this closed-eyes-driving thing is more than unbelievably stupid!

You just have to train fine motor control by extending the time you can drive with your eyes shut.. I've been training for weeks now and I can finally drive for 10 minutes with my eyes closed. It's amazing how wonderfully peaceful the feeling is, of not looking at traffic anymore. Traffic jams are still a bitch though.

ok I wasn't planning on posting in this thread again but I feel strangely compelled to defend my blind driving
1) I never do the driving thing if there's a car within 100 feet in front of me in my lane. "Moderate" was probably not the right descriptor there and "light" is the correct one. What I get for posting as I'm falling asleep I guess
2) I am a really *really* good driver. 100% pristine record and I live up in the northeast so year s of driving in snow has given me extremely good awareness and control. Theres no way I would even dream of driving with my eyes closed for more than a blink if I didn't have full confidence in myself to not drift over short periods of time.
