You might have OCD anxiety. I have it and it fucking sucks.
couldbeworsecouldberaining
Kierkegaard, a philosopher, said the fear you have on a cliff is not from falling, but that there's nothing preventing you from jumping.
UnfitforDutyXD
"Never" lol

Or stab your coworkers with that big knife. (chef here)
AllMyFriendsAreWalkers
I sometimes get the urge to do horrible things, like stick my hand in a table saw or something crazy. But then remember that would hurt.

Hail Sithis!
misstomato
Oh good, I just thought I was crazy
cosmicpizzaparty
It's known as an "intrusive thought". Essentially they are why-the-hell-did-I-just-think-that type of thoughts that seem alarming but aren't
Affray
This is a potential symptom of OCD and some anxiety disorders. Dark thoughts with no reason for happening, but they randomly do anyway.

Do it you f’n pussy.

Good read! Thank you
allnamestakenzzz
does having the random urge to do unspeakable shit to/around people fall under this?
Raelic
So if I jump... that just means I answered the call? Seems rude to just ignore it.
Nuanra
Fuck your unsolicited death sales calls!
therearenotenoughusernames
This is one time I encourage you to be rude.
ElbowDeepInACat
I think the void is stalking me
Waitthisparachuteisarucksack
I'm assuming that's not true if you want to out of anger...
epsilonmonkey
But if you have a reason?
BisonMooseDuck
I legit worry this is how I will die
imaginedear
I mean we are all just hurtling down a narrow strip in metal boxes depending on the sanity of strangers...
IronicUsername
It's kind of terrifying to think someone driving next to me on the freeway could end my life with a quarter turn of their steering wheel.
imaginedear
I KNOW. and I don't always feel that stable. , so I can imagine someone answering that call from the void!!!!!
imaginedear
(I am only tempted by the double void, driving my car off the cliff)
Ouroborus
The reason behind that is interesting too. Basically to think of not doing something we have to think of doing it first. This is your /1
Ouroborus
brain being proactive and looking for things you should not do.
vihmakaitse
I'd never do it, but call of the void in the form of suicidal thoughts is especially loud when depressed. It sucks, yo. Like a black hole.
obliviate88
I had a missed call from the void today
idieeverytime
Poetic
captainswoopty
yea, your mom called me too...
Veramos42
The void never returns my calls.
TheDevilHerself
Answer the phone next time, would ya?
Alabamapotato
What about that feeling when I hold some object, like a hammer and think about killing the person near me?
therearenotenoughusernames
I had this the other day, I wasn't angry or anything. It was a horrible feeling, made more horrible because it was directed at my mom
Cthulhukitten
What's wierd too is that only certain objects summon the thoughts. Like knives for craftsmen. Or maybe they just make the thoughts stronger
Cthulhukitten
Usually those thoughts comes to me near loved ones, I've never had those thoughts around people I don't care for that much. It's horryfing.
VultureTX
sociopathy? I carried a gun for 20+ years & I rarely felt the call of the void, but never with my gun as the vector.
Ouroborus
Same sort of thing.
cosmicpizzaparty
Same thing-It's called an intrusive thought. They're usually messed up or dangerous thoughts, but don't actually pose a threat
FamousOnce
Or wondering how long it would take me to physically silence that guy in my meeting.
LannistersSendTheirRetards
This being an actual thing makes me feel a little less crazy now
metalfoto
Same lol

Oh God I laughed hard. Thank you for pointing it out

Lancel. Gods, what a stupid name. Lancel Lannister. Who named you, boy, some half-wit with a stutter?

I think these are one type of intrusive thoughts. They sometimes just come and pass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_thought
debunker
Just be careful. The thoughts may be because of underlying mental health problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicidal_ideation
AncientPostNecromancer
They can be a sign of a healthy mind aswell. It's commanality accross the range of mental states makes it worthless as a diagnostic symptom.
AsSeenByMacaroni
Almost everyone has intrusive thoughts, as theyre often refered to. Can be super disturbing. Most people think theyre the only one
CosplayComet
Is that what it's called when I have the irrational urge to throw my phone out the car window, too?
marcofossil
no, that's just Samsung
linanc7
Nah, it's when you can't turn off Google Maps
LHC20
or to open the car door on the highway?
woderwoman
The same feeling where you have the urge to drop a glass but never do!
mikeatike
*ring* This is Mr. Void, calling.
CosplayComet
I keep missing his call...
mikeatike
Just let it go to voicemail.
Cybergirl57
Intrusive thought, so yes in a way
PreciousPotato
Nah, that's just the little anarchist rebel in you who wants to say "fuck that shit".
MinorityRetort
Nah that's just a natural response to "air horn in ear", nothing to worry about.
SmutMonger
creechville
I do not. Can you explain?
Hendlton
I dont have a link but there was that one gif of a guy scaring his girlfriend with an airhorn and she threw her phone through the car window
creechville
Ohhh i saw that ok ik What you're talking about now haha thank you
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
*that was totally fake but idiots are irate about it anyway because heaven forbid we have a nice time on the internet #getanotterbox
MaplePhoenix
So, if you walk past a Dominos, and think about going in, but don't...is that the Call of the Noid?
EscapedLewdist
Yes
OneCraftyHooker
I think that is called willpower
yoginioftruth
Avoid the noid
damnyuoautocorrect
And if you are offered growth enhancement supplements in a locker room and dont take them....is that the Call of he Roid?
MaplePhoenix
I believe it is, yes
dogfrost9
I bet a lot of the whipper snappers on here are too young to get that reference.
MaplePhoenix
Yup, I've already seen a couple of comments like that
JadeIsABurd
I hate you so much right now ...+1
LannistersSendTheirRetards
I hoid that
kraquepype
Dammit, now I won't be able to think of the void without the noid popping in my head!
countryg33k
My friend doesn't understand the Noid part. Although maybe he's looking for something more complex. Is that simply supposed to mean 'no'?
Ripraptor
The Noid was a marketing character made by Dominos.
Mistruths
noid is an old ad character for domino's

Look up the murders by a man named Mr. noid who thought they were mocking him and cleared a dominos of living employees. 100% for real
PithyCommentBelow
No one died. Just held hostage for several hours.
sbristol
Damn I was so sure I remembered that right. Thanks for clarifying.
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
Well, they did say to avoid him in the ads, guess they were right
TheDevilHerself
Huh, and all this time I just thought I was suicidal...
OneCraftyHooker
I know, right? It worried me but I often think of driving a car into a building at night. Would never do it but it crosses my mind.
digitalist1
Ya sometimes im just like "what if i swerved and drove into oncoming traffic" even though i have no reason to.
PreciousPotato
Sometimes, it's what @datmurdaa said, sometimes, it's your brain not being able to cope with the difference between what it sees, like /1
PreciousPotato
an actual void, or the speed of being in a moving car, and what it feels (your body in rest). It's just confused.
Vaanhalen
Well the difference is if you *want* to do it
Datmurdaa
It's just the brain trying to entertain it self with crazy hypotheticals. Because it can just stop think it resorts to this sometimes 1/2
Datmurdaa
Because it can't just stop thinking* good lord I butchered that
ImSorryFriend
Apparently some of our brains CAN just stop thinking!
Datmurdaa
At least that's how it was explained to me
PMMEYOURGF
Makes sense. Thanks!
pirre
@Datmurdaa I read that it's to train you to recognize potentially dangerous situations.
Datmurdaa
The only reason you think of doing it is because you know its dangerous. Maybe its starts out that way before you recognize the danger.
Datmurdaa
I really have know idea. My original comment was just something i heard that made sense to me.
Datmurdaa
However it would be interesting to learn if it was some kind of evolutionary trait thats left over from a more primal era.
