Weird Impulses

[Elise]

I will occasionally get impulses to punch people for no reason, which I think is actually kind of common from reading this thread. These aren't strong impulses, more like curiosity as to what would happen if I did.

Another one I have is to pet or pick up literally every single animal I see and I will actually act on that impulse a lot of the time. I can't walk past a cat on the street without trying to pet it but when it's a dog that someone is walking I will usually show some restraint.

Also to pick at and peel off scabs and things that I have on my skin. This is a really hard one for me to control, which unfortunately results in my cuts taking longer than normal to heal.

Almost forgot the picking skin of scabs and such as well. Can't really control that much unless I really think about not doing it :7

Intrusive thoughts are pretty bad for me.

I have thoughts of slicing my wrist or scratching my skin off. I also have urges when I'm waiting at a bus stop to just jump in front of traffic. I have thoughts where I can just slit my wrist and whither away in the bathtub. I also have thoughts of just stabbing myself in the chest whenever I hold a knife.

I need help.

Some more "innocent" impulsive thoughts is like when I'm in deep conversation with someone and I have the urge to just kiss them or stroke their face. I also have thoughts of throwing them out the window.

sometimes i'll check to make sure my door is locked like 5 times before leaving which causes me to be late. i also like to put hand sanitizer in my baths in small doses

It doesn't matter for who or what it is meant for. When a car honks it's horn, I immediately flip them off on impulse.

The human brain is an interesting thing. Multiple times, I have wanted to throw whatever I'm holding down on the ground if I'm high up, And whenever I'm upset, I get this weird impulse to scream like a three year old. Finally, I have a strange urge to make another account on the bell tree, spam alot, get banned, and blame it on the dog. wat the heck brain? Do any of you have feelings like this?

sounds like you're abusive

I often have a weird impulse in which I feel like walking out of my classroom, out of school, and back home.

Surprisingly I have a lot these. I have anxiety problems and I am always scared I'm going to do something wrong when it comes to others. Like I have thoughts, when I am in high places, of jumping off (which is actually called the high place phenomenon). I have thought of plenty of ways to die. I think its normal as long as you don't act on them because we all know we are going to die eventually therefore we accept and acknowledge that there are many ways that it can happen. Since I have anxiety issues, I am also the type that looks over my shoulder, extra checks to make sure the door is lock. And I hate going into dark areas. So I completely understand. ^^

Sometimes, I just clap my hands if I'm feeling happy, or excited, or anything. Also,I don't like to keep still, and I just tap my fingers a lot.

 

[Alienfish]

Drum on table with my fingers lol. Probably got it from grandpa he did it a lot </3

I'm afraid of heights partly because I'm afraid I would just jump off the edge or lean too far in. I also have terrible impulse when it comes to sweets. I end up eating whatever I have (no matter how big) in a matter of hours. I also have the impulse to run around and just run,run,run in no particular direction or destination until I can't run anymore. I also sometimes want to get lost in the woods. I have no idea why though.

I get impulses to lie on the floor and sleep sometimes.

I get the impulse to punch people in the back of the head when I'm in shops.
People just walk so slowly around stores and do it in the middle of the isle so you can't walk past them. They also take up an entire isle to gaze at something on the shelf from a distance. Don't even get me started on the idiots who see their friends and designate the entire isle to a hang out spot. (Old people are the worst offenders).

 

[ShinyYoshi]

I get a huge impulse to just jerk the steering wheel of my car and run into another car.

I get impulses to lie on the floor and sleep sometimes.

I did this every night for the past 2 months and it's actually not that bad after a while.

I sometimes just want to say random stuff and scream and cuss people out. And when I want to cuss people out, it makes me want to beat them up too.
