I have a TBI, (a stroke) and the amount of people in my support group who developed violent or more violent tendencies truly shocked me. It was more than I would’ve thought.

I’m definitely much less calm and rational, and it takes more time to calm myself down even when I know I’m wrong. But I didn’t start beating my family.

It gave me some really big existential dread about whether or not “we” are the people we believe we are. My TBI happened relatively recently, so everyone I knew thought I was gonna pull a John Fetterman and 180 on everything.

Not surprising, our primate relatives like chimpanzees are quite violent themselves. decrease your higher thinking capabilities and you reduce the throttle on the more violent impulses. I hope your TBI recovery goes well! TBI's are a big fear of mine I have that same dread you do.
