I actually don't think it's all that weird if you keep it vicarious - a lot of people connect with fictional impulses they would not have any part in reality. Like how many people find fictional fights viscerally satisfying, but wouldn't even think to use violence in real life, except as a last resort. I just thought it was a little strange that you used your build as the reason why you wouldn't stalk or strangle.

Cycles of violence can be difficult to break from what I understand. I'm glad you recognize that, but sad that you have to deal with it. I hope you know that you didn't deserve it. I also hope you have all the support that you need.

You're entirely right, honestly, it is a strange reason; I chose it as the focus because it seemed like a concrete reason to put forward, and I thought if I simply said, "I don't have a desire to kill actual human beings, because I'd just cry and throw up about it." - I don't know, people might have still assumed I wanted to or was capable of it? I didn't really consider my wording when I made the secret.

While I'm being honest, I do think if I were pressed, and it was inescapable option, I would be capable of doing that, but I wouldn't enjoy it. That's part of the fantasy aspect, not feeling uncomfortable with death, because in real life, it's an ultimate fear I have. Like, panic attack-bad.

Thanks for your responses and being so kind, especially when my secret was so strange and rather disturbing! I appreciate it. This conversation has actually helped me look harder at myself and resolve to deal with these feelings in a healthy/non-violent way.

You're welcome. Given your responses, I'm inclined to think you a pretty rational and thoughtful person, so I think you'll be successful and I wish you well.
