Protecting Myself From My Destructive Side

Me protecting myself from my destructive side (I have a lot of intrusive thoughts on my mind and I really want to push this girl down the stairs)

What it means

Two nearly identical young men in an elevator appear to restrain one another, illustrating someone physically stopping himself from acting on a disturbing intrusive thought. The dark absurdity comes from treating a violent impulse like an inner battle and using the image as a reaction to unwanted thoughts or self-control.
