I learned to boost my self-confidence by starting to view myself as evil being.

That made me feel strong. Evil is like cold fire, burning in my heart.

I will not breal law, steal, lie or murder. I am ready to cross over bodies of enemies if necessary for Aspergia, but not for selfish gain.

Because of my evil, I reasoned, I do not need friends or love. I am strong.

I have always identified myself with villains defeated at end of movie. Villains are detested by most. I was always detested by most. But villains are strong and often hurt good persons in film. I prefer to be able to bring harm to my enemies before being martyr.

I have a good friend who sort of does this...he isn't though... :wink:

I don't think of myself as evil, but I frequently think of myself as "bad"...

I used to think I was really bad and often would tinker with the idea of embracing my shadow/evil side completely. I think it stems from being made to feel like you are damaged and therefore not good. We live in a judgmental world.

I think of myself as having a 'good will.' Any harm I cause is because of well-meaning bumbling rather than because I am a genius supervillian.

I will say that often in works of fiction the bad-guys seem more appealing. This is certainly not the case in our real world though (I wonder if I'm going to get away with claiming there exist bad-guys in real life).

My problem is I am cynical and tend to view others as evil, myself as indifferent. I think I end up being detested because I have a hard time with acceptance. I criticise and complain about what I don't like. If I see a story on the news that is particularly disturbing I do not hesitate to voice my opinions on it. Usually the stories involve what people I grew up with have done in the past, but I can't help being disgusted by it. It still bothers me seeing the same stuff happening to others.

wow. i could write a few pages on this. but i'll just say...that i really don't see it being "wrong" if i walk up to someone who i view as "stupid" and that this person "should not be allowed to breed" and just blow their head off with a .45 Is this evil?

Fans of the Punisher Max comics would probably agree with me. Is Frank Castle evil? I don't believe he is. Sure he kills alot of people every issue, but, isn't that a good thing because his reasons for doing so are for "good"? What is evil? Was Hitler evil? /shrug Millions of people loved the guy. he never killed anyone, and he owned a dog! how can you be evil if you take good care of your dog and play with it? yeah i'm half joking as i ask this but really, what is evil?

Are you sure you're not adopting this mentality from insecurity or being hurt from the past? I find that I usually adopt a narcissistic attitude when I don't know of any other way to cope.

NEVER. I never consider myself "evil"

Only others do.

My dad once called me "judas iscariot."
i think it had something to do with the fact the prevailing social and moral code makes little sense to me.

I used to do things and I'd say things you know Jesus I was evil
Make things and I'd break things you know Jesus I was evil

I was never properly evil because I never shake the baby and I do not commit violence against any ladies.

I used to, when I was younger. The problem is, we think that being really good, or evil, will get us noticed...when most people just don't care.

i am CHAOS, LORD OF COSMOS

i am neither EVIL nor GOOD, for such feeble concepts are but the fevered rantings of just another random failed species, in my universe.

i DESTROY and i CREATE at my own random whim. if i feel like it, i put a star out. if i feel like it, i put a billion stars out.
if i feel like it, i put the universe and myself out - as a completely random impulse.

i am CHAOS, LORD OF COSMOS

I view evil as weakness. You're basically taking a shortcut to get what you want. A good person can get what they want but they have to follow "the rules". A evil person skips the rules. Therefore the good person must put out more effort and so if successful is by definition more powerful than the evil person.

I use to. If I was really pissed off, I'd enjoy hurting people's feelings(ones who actually cared about me). But I don't anymore.

I think everyone has evil in him, just like everyone knows what good is and prefers it. Even a criminal wants something good out of his misdeeds, even if it's only pleasure. People are naturally selfish, short-sighted, and cruel. But they know they oughtn't to be; and from there comes the whole science of ethics, and quite a lot of our culture and government.

So, yes. I am evil. But I don't have to like it.

When I was younger, I felt I was more on the "evil" side. Then I learned about "good" and "evil" and decided that neither exist. So, I'm neutral. Everyone and everything's neutral in my opinion.

I am, however, still attracted to villains in stories and movies -- ever since I was a teeny tiny kid.
