I once read that the parts of the brain responsible for regulating "aww" and "aggression" are connected and may misfire when feelings are strong.

So if you find something or someone incredibly cute or adorable, you may be consciously or subconsciously resisting the urge to destroy it/them.

My cat has these wires crossed 100%.

It’s why some people have the urge to hug a kitten to death.

I have a friend who used to... Might still playfully/crazily nibble on his kids.

It doesn't hurt them, but he seems to have this going on in his head.

This is what my ex used to say before she started beating me. This isn't a feeling normal people feel.

That's not healthy, don't act like it's normal to hate the people you love

It absolutely is normal to hate the people you love to some healthy extent. To me personally, not allowing a pinch of hatred in this perfect happy fairy-tale relationship sounds like a toxic nightmare.

My ex used to say she wanted to smash my handsome face into the wall sometimes
