our brains run simulations of awful situations all the time as a diagnostic self-test system. The fact that we recoil in revulsion from destructive intrusive thoughts is a sign that we are still at least nominally sane. Those who yearn for peace prepare for war. Likewise, those who care for their loved ones prepare to face terrible events that might befall them.
“why yes indeed brain, it would fucking suck if i jumped off this cliff, thank you for verifying that even if i had no plans of doing so anyways…”
I’m the guy who thinks it would be great… for 3 seconds anyway.
It would be great for a few seconds and then it wouldn’t matter anymore. Win win
That rather depends on the height I would think.
That’s why I hate Ferris wheels. Every time.
Now imagine riding one with your wife and TWO CHILDREN.
NEVER. FUCKING. AGAIN.
(Disclaimer: nothing happened, but the fucking horror and constant stress. That’s the kind of shit I have no problem doing by myself or with my wife only.)
Wat da fuk
The call of the void. I think?
Seems similar enough. I thought it was more for random suicidal thoughts than ending someone else.
It gets used for all of that but I think it’s also more literally the feeling you get standing near a tall edge and picturing what it’d be like to jump. Translated from the French “l’appel du vide” I believe. I have it very strong, all the forms…
I have these kinds of thought all the time lol
Here, have some of mine!

We all do, intrusive thoughts and “call of the void” are basically your brain doing hypothetical situations to get better at prediction and other brain things (or at least that was the hypothesis last time I read about it)
Borderline c/LemmyBeWholesome
Is so wholsum
Big Saturn energy
Shin Sekai Yori is an light novel / anime about what happens when these thoughts have power and how a society might develop to control the destructive consequences of said thoughts.

Or in the case of Disturbed, make it into a music video to try and help others.
Someone learned about intrusive thoughts.
Intrusive thoughts like that must be human nature. I doubt there is a single person who has never had a single thought about something like that.
YEET
Lol my mom and I have OCD. She’s got a bit of this type, fortunately mine is a bit more of the I really really love filing and collecting things (data hoarding) borderline autistic type.
Am I the only one who doesn’t do this?
Are you trying to say you’ve not experienced intrusive thoughts?
for me at least intrusive thoughts are basically equivalent to someone just saying it to me, and my response is simply “well, why would i do that? stop being dumb”
You opted to throw the baby against the wall?
Who doesn’t do this every once in a while. Just a bit of tomfoolery
One of the very few at least. Around 90% of people have these kind of thoughts from time to time.
Unless you are in psychosis and then the intrusive thoughts win 😭
I have this all the time with my daughter and it scares me.
