ocdreality: transmasc-pirate: this is definitely not what ocd is and it kinda pisses me off that this has so many notes tbhocd obsessions are not comparable to hyperfixations or special interests. ocd obsessions are like “I can’t be around my family members because I’m terrified I’m going to stab one of them” or “oh god I just described a child as cute what if I’m actually a p*do”. obsessions aren’t fun. they aren’t interests you have. they’re literally your worst fears and the worst things you can possibly imagine and your brain won’t. stop. reminding you of them. This x1000. When us with OCD fixate its not because we are interesting in a topic either its because we are seeking reassurance and are trying to prove why the fixation isnt us and ITS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE. -- source link
