people on tumblr be like āIām going to create an environment that is so bad for people with OCDā
Iāve talked about this before, but some of the hot takes on this website sound identical to the intrusive thoughts I have at 4 in the fucking morning, so do with that information what you will
āyou are a bad person if you donāt have this exact opinion about this minute detailā. maybe you should shut the hell up
āyouāre a bad person ifā¦ā
āyouāre not evil if you do x, itās actually y that makes you a bad person!ā
āif you donāt do x, something horrible will happen!ā
stop it. you do not need to make arguments in this way, you really donāt. my OCD ass is struggling here
hey, let me explain!
the āobsessiveā part of āobsessive compulsive disorderā refers to the OCD brainās tendency to get into obsessive thought spirals. these are triggered by intrusive thoughts. one of the most common āthemesā in OCD is morality (a fear of being a bad person)
when a website is full of accusations that youāre a bad person, itās really hard for that to not become an obsessive thought spiral. if I am constantly made to feel like Iām evil if I donāt reblog a post, thatās not a long way off from my brain telling me that Iām evil if I donāt complete a compulsion
TLDR; OCD is really good at making someone feel like theyāre secretly evil, and being accused of being a bad person makes that worse
