actually this is a tip my therapist told me in dealing with my OCD. she said to treat it like an annoying coworker who compulsively lies or a kid telling an over imaginative story and just be like โoh wowww reaaallyโ sarcastically to any thought it tries to convince me of

yk there's a symptom of ocd where it's trying to convince you your intrusive thought is true and it makes you spiral and it feels like 99% of people on twitter are walking reincarnation of these thoughts

why are people misunderstanding the OCD slur thing as "guy that says slurs for fun" and not "person that rereads their text 30 times before sending it because their brain is trying to convince them that they somehow accidentally said a slur in the message and they can't see it"

BASICALLY think of ocd as having the Twitter replies section manifesting in ur brain. Like how people on here will read u saying one thing and then claim you said the complete opposite. OCD is a manifestation of ur brain pulling the pancakes waffles shit on an extreme level
Iโve been watching UK comedy panel shows for years with my mum so Iโve been known that their humour is generally way better than American humour but now the whole world is realising it bc of SNLUK

honestly what itโs like trying to go about your normal tasks when youโre having ocd intrusive thoughts

whoever started the idea that intrusive thoughts are something that you might act on if you're feeling silly quirk enough has ruined the general population's capacity to understand or discuss ocd

This is literally the opposite of what any therapist worth their salt will tell a patient with OCD. Attempting to fight intrusive thoughts will just exacerbate them. What actually helps is learning to accept them, therefore robbing them of their power.
so many friendships that were admittedly probably already on thin ice have been ultimately ruined by my OCD compulsion to overexplain to the point I sound like Iโm trying to convince them of smthn when Iโm just trying to make sure Iโve covered everything and not accidentally lied
