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
That feeling of "incompleteness" or that something isn’t quite right can be unbearable. What’s one daily task that OCD makes harder because it never feels 'just right'?
Sometimes i think everyone on the right is evil. I ask myself “how can i love people with values different than mine?” I struggle accepting the fact my parents political beliefs are different than mine. I love them so much but it baffles me. We have talked and they say its fine to have different opinions but i can’t help but wonder if i’m doing something wrong by having my beliefs. And then with all the economic chaos today in the US, I can’t help but think that I was right about everything and I just feel like it is my fault that the world is in turmoil. Idk. I think i wish i could stop thinking about it but ever since the election cycle began around a year ago it has been dominating my life. I question myself, i question others, i appear very extremist and rigid and i don’t like it. I want my OCD to go away. Its apparently OCD but it feels so real right now. Can anyone relate? What are yalls thoughts on this subtype?
