Autassassinophilia

Autassassinophilia is a big, long word that describes a situation where a person likes to imagine that they are being the target of an assassin or murderer.

Imagine that you are playing a game of pretend where you are the good guy and there is a bad guy trying to hurt you. Autassassinophilia is like that, but it's much scarier and happens inside your head.

Some people may enjoy the thrill of imagining that someone is trying to harm them. This can be dangerous because they may want to act out these fantasies and put themselves in harm's way. It's important to remember that this is just a made-up game in your head and that it's always better to stay safe and avoid real danger.
