Do you feel pleasure in inflicting pain unto others?

[ThisGuy]

nope

 

[oarivan]

nope

Thank god for that. You look like you could inflict a lot of pain.

 

[Bluebird]

No. There have been times when I've been hurt by someone and imagined doing nasty, mean things to them. And at the time I was daydreaming it I felt good. But as far as actually doing it, I wouldn't. Whenever I do hurt someone, whether it is intentional or not, I feel nothing but pain and regret afterwards. And if it is intentional, I never forgive myself for it.

Hahahaha, I must agree with that.

I have definitely felt like inflicting emotional pain on people who have hurt me, but it's generally out of spite rather than vengeance, and I know it so I usually resist. I do tend to be a little curt/snide at times though, and that makes me feel bad after. Physical pain, VERY rarely. I take it out on my poor keyboard with its keys which are easily torn out in a rage. There's much less of that now that I don't live at home.

I know the feeling of uncontrollable anger, though, Chair--I don't believe it's healthy to feel like that frequently, or in ways that result in violence.

I feels human have a tendency towards violence, it makes us feel alive. Peace can be boredom, and watching our enemies (for whatever reason) suffer can be a delightful pleasure.

This may seem very cynical towards human nature, but idk how to argue otherwise.

 

[Rigel]

I don't know about that; but I do get less patient at times with other peoples problems, especially when I don't feel so great and when I hear about some petty issue get turned into drama;
So nah, I'm much more of a masochist by nature. hey, maybe we should get together, eh? lol

RFLMAO!!!! OMG Rabbit! Your too funny

 

[Ladysphinx]

No, I've been hurt to many times by other to do the same thing. Even when I really don't like someone else I try my best to treat them nice. I just keep thinking that I don't want anybody to ever feel like I do, nobody deservse to like that.

 

[Danielle]

umm... sometimes I want to poke people with pins... but it's very rare that I think of bludgeoning someone with a frying pan!

 

[AncientBard]

You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.....

 

[Rekzer]

I live by, "The only sin is hurting another"...i also feel that way about animals and such to. Doesnt mean i dont do it if someone really makes me mad and i lash back out...but i try not to

 

[LGH1288]

No, however I can be "cruel but fair" in my dealings with anyone who attempts to attack me in a nasty, malicious way. Instant Karma's gonna get 'em! Sometimes they're just not worth the effort. Then there's the healthy dose of schadenfreude I feel if something bad happens to a person who is on my **** list. To be on my **** list you've got to intentionally cause me emotional pain or financial damage (or some other type of misery). Otherwise, I'm generally a very peaceful individual. LG

 

[Nina]

I have never gotten any sort of pleasure from any sort of pain. I hope I never do.

Though merely assertive and passive aggressive when in conflict with people, I can appreciate a certain sadism when it comes to those one might deem "emotional vampires" though. I wouldn't say I enjoy inflicting pain as such, though. Who doesn't love a bit of empowering self-righteousness and vigilante justice from time to time?

On a sexual level its a bit different, some people use concepts of sadism and masochism as tools for erotic stimulation. I've flirted with this notion before to a limited degree, I can't say either hold more than a superficial appeal for me. I can understand how it really hits an emotional trigger for some, though.
