I constantly have sick/disgusting intrusive thoughts. I know I would NEVER act on them, but I keep having them. I want them to go away. I want to be a good person more than anything else. How do I deal with this?

leave this board and never come back you fucking degenerate

This. Your mind will eventually return to normal.

Its because youre like fucking 16 fuck off faggot

Same. This board has ruined me. I've had serial killer thoughts before, but I'm a total empath. I don't ever want to hurt anybody. I go WAY out of my way to make other people happy, but I have awful shit in my head.

Everybody has intrusive thoughts. They just don't talk about them. Intrusive thoughts are essentially a sanity check. If you're driving and your brain tells you "swerve into oncoming traffic" or if you see a child and your brain makes you wonder if you're a pedo, and you're disgusted or shocked by those thoughts, your brain is functioning normally. You shouldn't worry unless you start to enjoy them or act on them. Your shock/disgust means that you're healthy.

there's nothing wrong with reading shitty shit faggot. Just have a sense of ethical morals, have a sense of right and wrong, and don't let your thoughtspace interfere with your physical space.

check philosophy, find something that gives you meaning cause i sure as hell know that aint no meaning gonna come inherently.

The fact that you want to be a good person means that you are a good person. Bad people don't give a shit.

this

Thoughts don't make a man, actions do. Learn to accept the thoughts/yourself.

We all have them.

bingo. part of psychopathy is feeling no remorse or guilt

OCD, mee two

This is correct

OP here. I know that's correct, but my thoughts still cause me a lot of distress. They freak me out. I wish my mind was clear.

Cognitive behaviour therapy. I can always redirect. Have a new thought.

CBT is an absolute lifesaver. If your thoughts bother you, start doing this immediately.

I'm sorry, user. OCD is living hell.

Thoughts like that are pretty common. Edgar Allen Poe referred to the phenomenon as 'The Imp of the Perverse'; it is closely related to the French 'Spirit of the Stairs' or the 'Call of the Void'. The Imp usually is irrational, destructive impulses towards people or objects around you, whereas the latter two tend to be self-destructive in nature. The Imp often takes to form of violent, often sexually, impulses towards friends or family, less commonly towards strangers. The Spirit of the Stairs is particularly evocative; it is that impulse to throw oneself down a flight of stairs or other high place, and can be used in reference to suicidal ideation, although there is rarely intent to follow through. The Call is a bit less specific, and encompasses any self-harming or suicidal impulses. Some psychologists believe that these thoughts are part of how we deal with the concept of our own mortality and of death in general; by acting out mortal fantasies in our minds, we are better able to cope with the deaths of others and with the fact that we ourselves must eventually die. These fantasies innure us to the horror of death, and allow us to continue functioning rather than slipping into fear-induced paralysis or insanity.

You want to be a good person? The definition for good person is somebody who doesn't sin. Thus what you want is to be somebody who doesn't sin. To be somebody who doesn't sin you have to repent. Therefore what you want is to repent. Repenting from sin is basically equivalent to not masturbating or watching porn anymore, not holding unforgiveness toward anyone, not lying, etc. Thus, wanting to be a good person is equivalent to doing all those things.

They're somewhat mentioned in the Bible too. The Bible describes the "firey darts" of Satan.

Go see a doc..get meds..i used to think fucked up shit too

You used to? What is it like now? Are they completely gone?

That's normal man. You're human. Were animals. Everyone has sick fucked up thoughts.
There's an entire part of your brain that might as well be a separate being living in your head with you. That limbic system is a weirdo I tell ya.

So thinking about licking a 6 yo neighbor’s pussy bringing her to orgasm is normal?
Kissing and tweaking her stiff nipples is okay?
Ahhh ... I see

you look at loli shit on here? Cause being around it will make it worse. Stay away and it gets better.

You know like 80% of college age students in a fairly large sample size across multiple regions had already seriously considered murder in their lifetimes?
SeeI minored in psychology. Trust me. This is not a big deal at all. You're fine.

Go see a therapist. They're trained professionals who study for years to learn how the human brain works and help fix it, compassionately.

That's called call of the void and it's completely natural OP

Call of the void (l'appel du vide) is that feeling you get you want to jump when standing near a ledge or driving your car off the road or jumping into traffic.

What op is having is just regular old brain chatter.

Not any less normal than thinking about being home alone with your 10 year old sister, meticulously undressing her as she rubs your penis through your jeans, pushing her onto her pink frilly princess bed, pulling out your penis, putting it up against her underage hymen, grabbing her by the waist and shoving your dick deep inside her vagina past her hymen, and giving her an orgasm from the massive size difference between your dick and her petite body is.

This is taking it a bit too far. Asking "I wonder if I'm attracted to her" and then immediately thinking "What the fuck, brain? That's a child." is normal. What you described is not normal.

I understand you completely. Intrusive thoughts are really terrifying. Honestly, if they're making you feel really sick, go to therapy. You might have OCD.

pretty good post bro.

age? a man's brains isn't fully matured only 30s.

it's constantly maturing and you're meant to test yourself.

Get help.

Great post. Your thoughts are only as powerful as you allow them to be. You're giving them too much credence. They're just thoughts. Not actions.

But we’re talking about intrusive thoughts user

No need user, just everyday intrusive thoughts.

They happen. All part of being human.

I can lick her pussy all by myself. I need no help.

kek

Shut the fuck up and deal with it. Life is constant wanting of easeing pain, but life is the only sorce that can give pain. So get over it.

My dick is life. My dick is pain.

Got a little sister?

When I put a clean knife point-up in the dish rack, I cant stop myself from thinking about sneezing or something and having it ram up into my eye socket. When I point it down, I constantly envision it falling and slicing off my small toe.

I have about a million of these. If someone gives me a gift, I have the impulse to smash it or shout about how worthless and terrible it is, for instance.

I agree with reality check guy. I think of it as a sort of "what not to do" filter.

30 years on, and I've never had cause to act on those thoughts. I know they run in my family (especially envisioning violence toward our children) but even though no one talks about them and I'm pretty sure most people have them, I do think there's a genetic/psychological component.

If it makes you shudder to think about, you're probably good.

everyone has sick/disgusting thoughts. we will always have them. it's normal. you simply need to not act on them.

that's it, really.

Desensitize your self and stop giving a shit.

I have this, stuff like when I'm holding a knife I get this extreme urge to kill someone or something. I know I'd never do it but it's disturbing as fuck.

Minor in psychology from a few posts up.
This is a well known phenomenon and you've nailed it. Everyone has it. It's just the brain throwing ideas around. You actually have systems in the neo cortex who's job it is to make sure most of these thoughts don't become conscious, and more importantly, they don't get acted upon. Specifically really bad ideas.

But in any situation your brain kind of has a board meeting and just starts throwing out every conceivable action and then narrows down how you should behave based on all the social filters, reason, risk vs. benefit and so on.

Bonus fact. Youve got a component called the amygdala. It sends all sensory data to the limbic system which gives the thumbs up or down before reporting it to the neo cortex (that's you, the conscious thinking human). In extreme situations it can actually shut down the neo cortex and let the limbic system have free reign.

A minor example of this is if someone whips a tennis ball at your face and you catch it before you know it's happening. A major example is crimes of passion or acute acts of violence.

You can actually get a reduced sentence or even manslaughter in place of second degree murder in court if it can be proven you had an "amygdala hijack". It's happened.

Anyway that's answers to more questions than you asked. Have a good night.
