Is it normal to enjoy violence?
Enjoying violence in movies, games, or sports is common and doesn’t mean you want to hurt anyone. Enjoying real people’s suffering or feeling drawn to cause harm is different, and worth taking seriously.
Lots of people enjoy violent movies, games, or contact sports—the suspense, spectacle, or competition can be entertaining without reflecting what you’d want in real life. A taste for fictional violence doesn’t automatically mean anything is wrong with you.
If you mean that you enjoy seeing real people or animals suffer, or you’re tempted to hurt someone, that’s a different situation. Pay attention to the boundary between fantasy and action, and talk with a mental health professional if the urges feel hard to control or you’re worried you might act on them.
