ok, so i’m generally kind to everything and everyone, but bugs, slugs, snails, etc. really bother me. i have intrusive thoughts and i really get the urge to kill these things and have in the past because i hate them. i’m scared that this is going to be the sign of a future serial killer because i also have the urge to kill and destroy things but i don’t. it’s not often i get the urge, but when i don’t like something, i absolutely will lol

    It should only be concerning if you find you like torturing them, and you start escalating to other animals.

    Some early signs of psychopathy are torturing small animals, like cats and squirrels. Something to do with a lack of empathy.

    If you can remain content to simply murder slugs and other crawlies that invade your domicile, then you’re not a danger to anyone.
