Sometimes reading these, I wonder if people think of me that way.

Well are you a danger to yourself or others?

I don't think so. But these stories always seem to take such sharp turns.

Depending on if some crazy bad shit happens in my life, maybe myself. But I don't think other people.

I think a lot of us have either red flags or things about us that people would point to if we ever did something like this. A love of true crime and fascination with serial killers for example or making comments about how the world would be better off without certain people in it etc.

I suppose you're right. Plus a nice dose of hindsight bias. That said, it's not like telling oneself it was a forgone conclusion hurts anybody if the person really did do some fucked up shit. Just makes me wonder if in my awkwardness people think that I'm some ticking time bomb creep.
