Why do I want to kill people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Why you "Want" to kill people.Perhaps this is a phase, many people in they're youth go through stages of anger and confusion. However if impending urges ensue to the point of feeling a loss of control perhaps its your best bet to seek psychiatric advice. These feelings could have been from childhood predisposition's, depression, fear, or chemical imbalances in the brain. Most of the time the way you are feeling is just because someone around you really gets under your skin and you don't know how to get them to stop.

It is unwise, and immoral to take another's life, unless you are a complete sociopath I'm gonna say you will feel very bad about acting on your feelings, or go to jail. If you are a complete sociopath, this is not something to be proud of (if you can feel pride, or any emotion what so ever, you are not a sociopath.)

The best thing to do is spend a little time cooling off, take a long walk by yourself and remember it is always mind over matter. If your mind isn't strong enough to see its fault in this urge, perhaps you should do yourself a favor and admit yourself for shock therapy. This brings up another point. If you want to kill someone out of anger, this feeling is not real. You will get over it. If you want to kill a specific person, you have a motive, and that's just a bad call. If you think killing would be fun, join the marines. And finally, if you just feel like you were born to raise some death rates, move to China. Then have a ball.

But remember this; no matter what. If you kill someone, everyone you know will be afraid of you, and probably never speak to you again. If you think that would be nice, your depressed, find out why and deal.

How much does a serial killer make?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Serial killers come from all levels of society. Very few have a lifestyle that enables them to earn high salaries. Very few have a lifestyle that exposes them to public scrutiny as a rich person might experience.

The majority of serial killers have come from ordinary, everyday jobs, menial or part time jobs, or little regular employment.

Placing an income range for a serial killer isn't possible since serial killers operate in different societies, countries, and time periods.
