Hi. I've always liked to play with fire, it's one of my favorite pasttimes. I started questioning the appropriateness of this habit after a gynormous match bomb blew a 4-inch hole in my garbage can. I find that playing with fire relieves stress, I don't know, I guess exploding things has a relaxing effect on the brain or something... Whatever, but I read on the internet that if you play with fire and find it relaxes you, you are considered a pyromaniac. Am I? And should I seek mental help? I don't feel like hurting myself or others using fire, or burn my house down. I just don't want it to develop into a revenge thing and are asking wether or not you guys think I have it under control.

Cheers, V.

I'm one.
I love flicking my lighter on and watching the flames.
I burn paper in my sink and blow on it to make it bigger.
I use to make smilies on my arms with my lighters.
But it can turn into self harm such as burning. Speaking from experience.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
As long as you're not harming people then I'm sure you don't need mental help, but if you ever get urges to set fire to someone (which I'm sure you wouldn't :]) then i'd suggest seeking help.

Pyromaniacs are known to have feelings of sadness and loneliness, followed by rage, which leads to the setting of fires as an outlet. For a positive diagnosis, there must be purposeful setting of fire on at least two occasions. There is tension or arousal prior to the act, and gratification or relief when it is over. It is done for its own sake, and not for any other motivation. In some cases it is all about the pleasure of seeing what other people have to do to extinguish the fire, and the pyromaniac may enjoy reading of the effects of what they have done. Many arsonists claim that they just like to set fires for the sake of fires and the blaze of dancing flames. Many pyromaniacs feel a relief of stress in watching things burn or smolder, and the condition is fueled by the need to watch objects burn.

Fire is fascinating isn't it. Think very carefully about the potential damage before you strike that match. Then have fun.

I doubt being a pyromaniac is serious unless it goes to the extreme, such as burning down a house. The biggest pyromaniac I know is a volunteer firefighter.

So long as your extremely careful with what you're doing, you should be ok.

that was my first successful shot of me holding fire in my hand.

so i'd say i am one too lol.

i find water fascinating. .when i'm in the sea of in a swimming pool.. swimming,, THATS life.....

Actually it does. Think about the physics of of light. If you could measure it you could look closely at a contrasting surface where the firelight is being projected in sunlight you could see a slight flickering. That's the shadow which is mostly overcome, to your eye, by the firelight itself and brightness of the son. But it's there.
Try this. Light a candle. Light a old fashioned kerosene lantern and in a dark room look for the shadow of the candle flame on the wall. The relative difference in brightness is far less than with the sun, but the physics is the same.
Since you probably have neither a candle or a kerosene langern take my word for it.
