How many traits of a potential serial killer do you exhibit /mental/?

http://listverse.com/2013/01/02/10-most-common-traits-of-potential-serial-killers/

I exhibit 9/10, yet the only one I don't exhibit is that I didn't wet the bed until an abnormal age, apparently that trait has been rubbished anyway…

So 9/9 ;_;

Only 7!

Would also be good to say which ones and why. I'll do mine later

It is validated by professionals. You can't brush it off m8

3-5, depending on how you look at them.

I doubt I'll be a serial killer, though I was probably at risk.

Is it validated by professionals that correlation = causation, anon-kun?

You got me. Though people with these traita usually fit the bill. It's interesting.

 No.8397

>>8395
wait. I said nothing about causation…
Anyhow. My traits come from being abused and molested by my parents… And everything else that followed.

Second.

-Psychological abuse as a child
-Sexually stressful events in childhood (but it was just one, and I don't remember it, really. Might not even be what I think it was.)
-Growing up lonely and isolated (though after a certain point, this was of my own choosing.)

The two "maybes" are:
-Fantasies: This is a vague title, but is this limited to violent fantasies? Even if it is, I guess I had them, but I always rationalized them away. "I want to burn down the school! …But I mean, I'd have to do it at night so no one would get hurt. …Well I mean, unless they have night staff, I don't want to kill some random janitor I've never met."

"One day, I'm going to get back at this fucker! I'm going to track him down, murder and torture him! …Well, I mean… Then again, he's probably got grandparents and relatives completely innocent in this, and I guess harming him would harm them too by extension…" I'd say I had more violent fantasies as an adult, honestly. I was obsessed with the idea of killing rapists for a while.

-Preferring auto-erotic activities: This one's iffy too. I mean, I beat off and looked at porn a lot, and I was anti-social, and I even drew nudes of female comic book characters, but it was never a preference. I mean, I was antisocial, but I was more interested in doing it with a partner. I will say with my first girlfriend, I'd gotten used to webcam sex by then, and the sex with her was horrifically bad, so I did find myself actually preferring webcam sex. Not so after that, though.

Hard no with everything else. I love animals, I could never torment one. I was always taking in strays when I was little. I still do. Something cries out for food, help or attention I feel compelled to fix it. And I absolutely hate that feeling when an animal is afraid of me.

No bedwetting, no substance abuse,no voyeurism, no physical injuries.

looks like they forgot to mention almost every serial killer drank water in their life and used to breath…

If there's anything you should feel bad about, it's looking at this clickbait in the first place

 No.8570

There are many sources which list these traits m8

 No.8583

>>8570
Most of those traits are just generic mental illness symptoms at best. It doesn't take academic sources cited in apa format to work out that serial killers tend to show signs of mental illness. Articles like these are just published so normalfags can read them and go "lol xD looks like I'm a serial killer :P"

10/10

…shit

Makes sense actually.

I had a tendency when I was younger to get in lots of fights and I reveled in getting my ass kicked.

I liked the feeling of adrenaline and pain numbing endorphins going through my veins so much I got addicted. But then I got better through meditation

I'm just not a serial killer.

…yet. when I get rich I'll be like Bane and Punisher put together

Just why?

Cruelty to animals is mainly used to vent frustration and anger the same way firesetting is During childhood, serial killers could not retaliate towards those who caused them humiliation, so they chose animals because they [animals] were viewed as weak and vulnerable.they vented their frustrations because the person causing them anger or humiliation was too powerful to take down; they felt as if they regained some control and power over their lives through the torture and killing of the animals; they gained the power and control they needed to cause pain and suffering of a weaker, more vulnerable animal . animal cruelty was a way for the children to feel as if they were retaliating against those who abused, frustrated, or humiliated them.
