Are people born evil/murderers and can’t help it?

Postby Horrible » Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:53 pm

I have homicidal thoughts and i wonder why we get them, especially with psychopathy? Is it that some people are just born to kill and they can’t help it? If so, what do you to get rid of thse thoghts?

I think I probably was born evil(Homicidal thoughts + ASPD symptoms)

I am wondering because I have homicidal thoughts with a side of ASPD symptoms. I don't know why it's against people who haven't even upset me yet. I have multiple ASPD symptoms, so I think I might've been born evil/a future serial killer because I had a good childhood.

Do you think we should consider it a mental illness? Especially for those born like that and can’t control it, should we find a way to cure it? And do you think people are born evil or murderers and they can’t control it or no?

Hi Horrible,

I don’t know. Have you discussed this with your care provider(s) or other trustworthy persons close to you who know your particular situation?

What makes you think you are evil? I don't think people are born evil. But not everyone has the same elevel of emphaty when they were born

I used to shoplift when I wasn't working. I don't consider myself evil. I only did it because I dislike people in general. It wasn't even about the items which so many people got wrong.

I have homicidal thoughts and ASPD/psychopathy symptoms. I also read that people are born murderers/evil and they can’t help it. The 3 things I mentioned above are uncurable, so i don’t know what to do.

A guy named Paul gave me some advise that I will pass on to you: Take captive that undesirable thought, also think of the things that are true, noble, just, honorable.

Hi!
First I have to apologise for my english.
I used to have homicidal, masochism and pedophilia thoughts (all in sexual aspect). I was free from them for a lot of months since this days...but I would never do bad thing to anyone irl.
The people aren't born "evil" or "good" they change their thought with experiences and people they meet. In my case, I started to have these thoughts because of drug abuse...
You are NOT a bad person, probably something in your Life made you have those feelings and thoughts, but that's ok if they don't come true.
I suggest to find what could make you have those thoughts and fight that. If you find it to hard to do it alone i suggest a professional! Good luck, if u want to talk in here.
