Extreme muder/rape interest

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else have this?

I'm really starting to worry that I'm the only one with this special interest. It's kind of weird to explain, too. I see the way people react to news stories...they cry, they seem disgusted...but I find it extremely interesting...I spend hours scouring wikipedia for cannibals and rapists and killers of all description- the more unique the better.
I don't really know how to explain if you want to ask me any questions about it you can, just...I'd really like to know if anyone else has this special interest.

I recommend you study criminology at university or join some kind of law enforcement agency ... put that interest to good use.

The psychopathology of people that fall into this category is interesting, but that's where my interest ends.

I voted "no but I can understand".
I'm rather interested by war.

I have a special interest in the drug trade.

I'm intrigued by all aspects of humanity.

just be careful who you tell this to. I bought a book on serial killer once because I had a fascination with scary movies. Turns out I don't have a fascination with real life serial killers. That actually scares me, movies don't. I threw the book away and my roomate was like, "Thank god."

No, but I understand.
Recently I was really obsessed with psychopaths, I do understand them very good, even the very crazy ones. But then I forced myself to stop before understanding the TOO well.

I do it at times, especially if I hear some obscure reference to a specific name. I immediately want to figure out what that person did.

Some of it is just downright horrendous... yet fascinating in an odd way. Almost like, trying to get into their minds.

My boyfriend and I just had an argument the other night about something similar. We were watching an episode of "I Survived" (a show you might enjoy), and afterwards, he was just baffled. He couldn't understand why these people (the people attempting to kill the others) were getting angry at the others for not dying right.

I think he was even creeped out by me when it first started, because I said "It's easy. That isn't a person necessarily to them, but part of a plan... and them being human and fighting back is basically screwing up the whole plan. These people are operating on time tables-many of them."

He just looked at me... it took him about 10 minutes to respond with anything that resembled words, lol. He was finally able to detach himself for a moment, and understand, but didn't want to understand, and told me so. So I dropped it after telling him not to ask questions about "WHY someone would do something" if he doesn't want opinions or answers, lol.

Not so much rape, I think the act is disgusting, but serial killers interest me.
I also answered yes to that question on the Aspie quiz about being fascinated about making traps.
I never saw any of the Saw movies, but I did look it up on Wikipedia and it was nice.

I had a huge obsession with death, murder was included in that. I have also been fascinated by paedophilia.

One of my special interests used to be serial killers. I don't know why I was so interested in them but it really made people at school dislike me even more. Don't tell people that you have this interest unless they are family or close friends because if what happened to me happens to you, you might get people thinking that you're making plans to kill people. For me that was totally untrue. I was just obsessed with gruesome things at that time. I think it was a part of my depression. I've read that when people with AS are depressed their special interests can sometimes turn gruesome.

...maybe you should become a criminal profiler (I used to be obsessed with becoming one).

Ah thank god, reading all your replies has made me feel a little more at ease...I'm glad no-one's come on here all judgemental...
People tend to think you're going to end up a murderer or rapist, you know? Maybe I am I don't know, it's not the easiest thing to predict. Mm...I dunno.

For a long time I have wanted to make some sort of scrapbook. Jeffrey Dahmer is my favourite

I am interested in the darker side of humanity. I think it is has to do with some of the demons of my youth, but I have a strong sense of individual justice, and there is just something about trying to understand what drives people to commit atrocities...

It puts me at ease to be able to say that no matter how dark my moods or thoughts, I still have more of a sense of humanity, and a firmer grasp of right and wrong than some of the more "Normal" members of mainstream society.
