Pyromania.

You should seek counseling. There are all sorts of Anonymus organizations out there. eating, stealing, alchohol, sex, if there is an addiction you can bet your bottom dollar there will also be some type of help for it.

Seek a doctors advice and I am sure he/she can guide you in the right direction.

I do not think this is normal. You probley knoe this but fire is not a toy. it is dangerous and has taken many peoples lives. Talk to the doctor!

Seek help before you kill sonmeone.

It basically means your a pyro. You probably are going through some phase. I was like that when i was like 13, im 16 now and dont care.


Go burn stuff in your backyard. Have a party and start a bonfire.

obviously your a piromaniac.
go to a rehabe center or something.

House FIRE 6 times.

Nope, not normal.

Listen to the Dead Milkmen's "If you love somebody, better set them on fire"

I don't know, I mean i play with fire myself, but never felt that way about fire.

Normal? no, devastating? no, its pyromania... to what extent you have i dont know, but if you are going to excercise your addiction I recomend you do it safely. My brother was playing with fire with his friend one day and he lit the entire hill on fire. they had to call a helicopter... so If you are gunna light matches, have a cup of water on standby

if this was normal you wouldn't be asking if it was....your a piro, tell a parent get some help, you'll be ok

Would a fireplace help? You could see and and feel the heat, but it wouldn't hurt you...unless you tried to actually touch it. If you're scared you'll hurt anyone, including yourself, you should see someone.

could be the gas your smelling, or the warmth, maybe fire is what your looking for in a person?

Sounds like pyromania, but it can't be diagnosed over a computer. Please consult with a mental health professional. Sooner or later you're likely to seriously hurt yourself or someone else doing this.

You should seek for help. You can get hurt or someone else. You are atrracted to fire because maybe when you were little you used to play with it? Or you have fantasies? Well... take care and seek for help.

Pyromania: a compulsion to set things on fire.

Since pyromania is a mental disorder I suggest you seek psychological help before you hurt yourself or someone else.

Not normal at all and as you already know its very dangerous... It is called Pyromania... Usually theres a psychological reason behind it... I strongly suggest you seek the professional guidance of a therapist reguarding this issue before you kill yourself or even worse another person.

No, from what you're describing, it isn't "normal". This is known as Pyromania and it is considered a mind disorder. Don't feel alone because there are many other people out there who feel the same way about fire (known as "pyromaniacs").
It's probably hard to say why it happens because every individual may have a difference case. "Treatment" for this is through short term psychotherapy treatments.

Here is a website you can look at to find out more information about pyromania and see if you fit the description:
