Is it normal to love violence?

Depends.It depends

Enjoying violent movies, games, or sports is pretty common. Wanting to hurt real people—or feeling like you might act on that urge—is different and worth taking seriously.

If you mean that you enjoy violent fiction, action scenes, or intense sports, you’re far from alone. The excitement, suspense, or spectacle can be appealing without meaning you want anyone to get hurt in real life.

If you mean you enjoy causing real pain, or you’re having urges to hurt someone, that’s a different story. Feelings and fantasies aren’t the same as actions, but keep clear boundaries and get support if you’re worried you might act on them. If someone is in immediate danger, put distance between you and them and contact emergency help.
