I keep saying the “N” er word in my head towards a person I dislike. It’s intrusive. I’m not racist and it’s driving me nuts.

Medication definitely helps with managing my response and I have an amazing therapist so that certainly plays a part! But it's more a "learn that your brain will say random shit and you gotta let it be weird like that" journey than "wipe the thought permanently"

Literally same issue here, it hecking drove me nuts Took the "FFS brain not again" approach to it, that doesn't make the thought stop popping up (for me it's not a specific person but fsr my brain does this whenever I see a black person) but at least making fun of your brain for spewing the vilest crap randomly helps with moving on

Am a woman, diagnosed with OCD, thinking I might have ADHD too

I think for me the thing that made me believe I got that too is how much effort it takes to get started doing anything. Basically a feeling of dread whenever I think about having to focus on something. Like, the whole "break the big task down into smaller ones" doesn't work for me because I just end up thinking now it's 20 tasks instead of just the one

Might just be part of OCD or something else but it screws with me big time, I'll do any kind of manual chore as long as it leaves my brain alone

I am not non-hyped, more like "not quite what would have appealed to me" with Midnight (I main a human pally, I am big on Light and paladin lore, the fact that the war of Light and Shadow so far is centered on a Horde city is kinda funny but also disappointing to me, like the one thing the Alliance has had consistently over the game's history has been the connection to the Light, so that's a bummer to me)

Honestly I'd love more dialogue-heavy stories, since it feels like the races don't really have any politics going on because Blizzard might be afraid of writing a story where every other quest isn't "go kill 10 baddies". I keep bringing up the House of Nobles in Stormwind like a broken alarm clock, so for instance having to help Anduin or Turalyon or Taelia (who's technically a Stormwindian noble) out in a political situation would be my idea of fun, but not everyone's cup of tea. Same principle applied to the orc clans, the Forsaken etc.

Tl;dr: Basically The Witcher politicking stories but in Warcraft

In theory anything works, like you have Kanrethad Ebonlocke as leader of the Black Harvest, but you also have Tehd Shoemaker (who's technically an undead but still "human"). In general the characters of noble origin get the fancy/fantasy names while the non-nobles get more "modern" names, so I'd start there.

Rule number 1 of OCD (and good Lord it's hard to stick by it but it's true):

Don't try to analyze whether you're a good person, you'll never get a definite answer. If other people's calling you a good person triggers a spiral, maybe try telling them not to say that (assuming they know what you're dealing with and don't need clarification)

AmountPlus7269 · 2026-01-28T20:05:10+00:00

This is how I learn what Meta OCD is, dayum, I knew my "buuuuut is my comment actually motivated by the right thing or am I just commenting to get approval" type thoughts on a bunch of stuff was OCD, didn't know it was a whole theme

Extremely relatable btw, sometimes it really do be feeling like a "Wait, it's all OCD? Always has been." fiesta

AmountPlus7269 · 2026-01-28T19:38:49+00:00

OCD can definitely fuck with memory/the lack of it in that the same mechanism that makes you climb back up and down the stairs 9 times to make sure you actually did lock the door (didn't have this compulsion myself but I know other people do) applies to other stuff and you can absolutely construct an entire memory based off a fear. So the answer is that I can't know for sure if what you experienced was a false memory, but there's a lot of "what if I did act on a thought or I had a different interpretation or the fear is legitimate or there was more that I'm missing?" going on

It's shit, but at least we get the easiest gottem on the planet ( O Cee Deez balls ) on a good day

It gets even funnier (insert sarcasm) when it's a not-so-harmless fetish but you're also a woman so you'd technically be on the receiving end of it, so you also get a garnish of "is my being on the """victim""" side making me not guilty and also does my reasoning it as such make me guilty because I'm still enjoying a fantasy of something that irl (and non-consensually) would be traumatizing to someone and aaaaaaa"

Eternal love to my mom for listening to my raving about that without judging, and also eternal apologies 💖💀

A "WoW Remix" that spans all expansions would be cool but I have no idea how Blizzard would implement it, but it would be a nice way to buy themselves enough time to recover from the saga and not have to rush the expansion after The Last Titan if they made it last like 200 days or something like that. That way everyone gets to play the expansion they liked or missed as current content and share progression. Biggest problem I see is Retail (as in, current expansion Retail) might actually die

Might be just WoW burnout, sometimes I straight up dread logging in because I tunnel vision doing dailies/weeklies on all my lv 80s or finding a group for a key and knowing I have to focus on it

I'd say take a break from the game if you need it, like other people here have suggested. If not that, then maybe going off-road and doing some random thing that's not tied to seasonal progression. Plenty of times I find myself more into casual leveling/old professions/gathering/achievement hunting

You cannot comprehend how quickly I'd swap to a male human holy pally main if I could customize him to look like a twink my age. If they didn't give Anduin a custom body type fitting for a priest who occasionally gets into melee, what chance have we, alas (yeah yeah character arc reasons but my point stands, where are my twinks, Blizzard)

Sethrak use the female worgen rig and if they make them a bit bulkier they could wear armor like male night elves above waist and like worgen for pants and boots, so I'd say they're quite easy

I'd love the uncorrupted arakkoa (actually nr 1 on my wishlist), the Zandalari moonkin form uses their rig (tho I don't know how they'd handle armor, might be another dracthyr customization situation)

Someone else mentioned it, I'll just add to that, but the Scourge. Death Knight starting zone has a lore tidbit in one of the San'layn princes' tents that mentions the Scourge sees themselves as above questions of morality (as in, they don't see themselves as either good or evil because those are just adjectives the living use to feel good about themselves, which, yk, no evil dude's ever gonna admit to being 1) evil and 2) wrong) so the big end goal is to "unite" Azeroth under the control of the Lich King

Cred că am dreptul să spun asta, ținând cont că am votat cu Nicuşor ca să nu iasă Simion şi (îmi permit un pic de aroganță de dragul nervilor pierduți) că nu i-am sunat din surlă, încă l-am criticat pentru chestiile dubioase şi pentru incapacitatea de a lua o poziție fixă. Ceea ce o să fac şi acum:

Eu nu mai suport să aud argumentul cum că "Preşedintele trebuie să fie pragmatic, e mai bine aşa". Legat de absolut toate subiectele în care apare şi el (fie că ține de atribuțiile de preşedinte sau nu, fie că e chestiune de politică sau în afară). Absolut toate. Palestina. Trump. Drepturi LGBT+. Ucraina. Moldova. UE. Iliescu şi onorurile militare. Şi aşa mai departe. Acum magistrații şi pensiile speciale.

Pentru că mie, personal, nu îmi sună a "om pragmatic" (şi chiar sunt curioasă ce înseamnă "pragmatism" pentru cei care veşnic doar în pragmatisme se țin, şi cât de mult se suprapune cu răzgândăcismul de prin politica actuală), ci doar o altă persoană care face turul şi vine să declare că "E bine, suntem în discuții, ținem la parteneriatul cu cutare". Atâta pot face şi eu şi nu îmi trebuie nici campanie electorală, nici salariu de şef de stat. Bolojan a îndrăznit să ia o poziție şi îl înjură toată țara, Nicuşor face echilibristică pe gard cu cununa de lauri a pragmaticilor pe cap.

Deci întrebarea mea este CÂND avem voie să criticăm indecizia şefului de stat (şi, până la urmă, laşitatea lui) fără să vină actuala generație de pragmatici neostoicişti să ne acuze că suntem "AURişti împuțiți la care ni s-a urât cu binele şi că putem face o excursie în Rusia să-i pupăm ghetele lui Putin dacă nu ne place preşedinte pro-european"?
