I tend to really obsess over stuff that irritates me. Or is hard to accept. Like I obsessively want to correct anything people say annoys me. Anyone else?
Yes! A guy at my church looked at me with a perverse glance once, while his wife was next to him (they got married 1 months later), and this totally freaked me out. It was so immoral and unfair in my eyes (prob. would’ve in other people’s eyes as well) Also, someone once asked me before a wedding whether I was in love with the groom. This made my brain burn for 3 weeks. I think I totally understand what you mean. Because those things are happening, and I don’t understand why nobody else is upset.
this is big for me!! I have no idea what to do about it, ranting about it and thinking about it feels like a compulsion or a component of my ocd but I can’t exactly describe why or how, but then when I express the feeling I get validated and told “you have the right to be angry”, which generally yes, I have the right to that emotion. I almost think it’s a part of moral scrupulosity, where I hold myself to such a high moral standard that to see someone not even care is triggering?? I also wonder if the ranting is me trying to “solve” the issue and affirm my own point of view. Anyways I can totally relate to this
So recently i had really obsessive thoughts about something and once i got over it i kept bringing back more stuff to make myself feel like a bad person. Why am i doing this? Why do i need to look for something else to burden someone with once they have forgiven me
Does anybody else experience OCD while reading? I feel like i need to remember everything in my book. And i have a feel that i need to completely understand EVEYTHING in my book (even very minor things) and if not, i feel as though im cheating or that the minor thing is very significant and that ill want to remember it even way after i finish the book (just for the purpose of knowing EVERYTHING about my book) Also, when a character says some minor things i feel the need to understand it completely or i feel the fear that i didn’t understand what the character actually meant. If youve struggled with this please give tips on how to overcome it
Not sure if this is OCD or ADHD or both, but sometimes I get really stuck on a topic to the point that it's obsessive and somewhat debilitating but still fun. Does anyone else get caught up on random topics (in a slightly unhealthy way)? This part of my mental health issues is one I don't mind as it has contributed a lot of joy to me through different fandoms and groups in my life. Just curious what obsessions (positive) you guys have and if you consider it a blessing, a curse or a blerse lol
