I'm not really a violent or angry person and the idea of hurting someone is really repulsive to me.
It doesn't seem like an impulse control problem... more of an unwanted and inappropriate thought type thing. I don't have much problem resisting the urge to just punch someone for no reason. It's still very disturbing to me. Sorry... I don't feel as if I've helped you unless knowing you aren't alone makes it easier to accept these impulses.

It absolutely makes me feel better to know someone else feels this! Yes, I'm completely the same way. There's no anger or anything behind it...I just really want to stab a pencil through their eye. It makes me feel like such a weirdo when in a professional setting and I'm thinking is. I want it to stop because I get scared they'll figure out what I'm thinking. Not that they can read it on my mind...just see it in my face that my thoughts are aggressive. :/ I sound so fricking crazy.
