I'm honestly a bit scared of myself. Anyone who doesn't know me, and even anyone knows me, can't tell that I have this trait if I don't tell them explicitly, but I'm scared of how violent my mind wants me to be. I'm worried that I possess two copies of the so-called "Warrior Gene"- which, being a recessive trait, would mean that I express this trait- and although genetics do not 100% determine my thoughts or actions, the way my parents interact with each other and with the family, as well as the multiple other mental disorders I have, may very well have triggered the "Warrior Gene" to become active. Those with the active "Warrior Gene" are more likely to be successful or make successful decisions in risky or critical situations, and in a way this is what allows those with the gene to trigger more easily and be more inherently impulsive. Logically, they are also much more of a rapid-response thinker and rapid-fire action-taker. I do not know if there is a correlation, but I have found it very, not easy, per se, but much easier than the average person, to help someone who is going through a crisis, a difficult situation, or perhaps is thinking about taking dangerous actions, even when the situation becomes precarious. I have saved a good number of people, and while I have always thought that I'm just naturally an empathetic person to whom people listen, perhaps people listen to me when they're struggling because it is evident that I, much like them, am internally struggling and impulsive and perhaps dangerous. I say things and take actions that, while they end up saving people, are risky and which the normal person would not dare, for fear that it might set the person who needs help off. I also test extremely well, without studying or extra preparation, and that may be a combination of the smarts and the fact that those with the gene make good decisions in critical situations, although I think that the gene has nothing to do with that, as it is not that I guess on answers, but that I only need to learn the material once before it engrains itself in my mind.
I myself, if I do possess this active trait, find that even with my extremely, insanely large amount of self-control and restraint, find it difficult to quash the thoughts I have on actions I want to take. I'm scared for myself and for those around me, if I do have and express the gene. I want to get genetically tested, but that would be difficult for me to explain, as I would possibly be seen as a danger, and I am already known to be sharp, clever and resourceful.
I'm worried, but I hope that I am able to live a sufficiently pleasant life whether I have this gene or not.
