Ahem. All the scientific evidence says you're wrong.
Either you're the abnormal one for not having random weird/scary thoughts like everyone else... or much more likely you won't admit it.
From the article I linked earlier Wrote:The human brain naturally generates nonsensical and often bizarre thoughts, even for those without OCD. A study conducted by Rachman and de Silva (1978) found that healthy college students reported having thoughts with common OCD themes, such as violence, forbidden sexual acts, and urges to do inappropriate things in public. The difference is that when individuals without OCD experience ego-dystonic thoughts, meaning they are the opposite of an individual’s true nature, desires, values, and self-image, the brain responds differently.
(My bolding)

From the above link Wrote:Many studies have found that 80% to 90% of the population has had intrusive thoughts on occasion. Some have had an impulse to run someone over while peacefully driving down the street, to jump off a bridge or to cry out an obscenity. It has occurred to others to do something inappropriate to someone and there are many other thoughts that go through people’s heads for no reason at all.
