      It’s the difference between feeling like doing it and having to fight every fiber of your being to stop yourself from doing it.

      In the moment it’s a pure instinctual reaction that you have to consciously ignore. Like touching a burning stove but not removing your hand. It goes against every instinct. Every rationality.

      It’s like everything in you wants to harm someone despite knowing it’s morally wrong. It’s a constant battle between instinct and conscious morality.

      I WANT to hurt people. I CHOOSE not to. Because I understand my feelings are wrong. But the feelings are still there
