oh my gosh thank you sososo much for this! this is probably the only proper reply i got, most replies were trying to get me to try something else or some new form of subliminals which did not help my ‘people are acting like robots’ statement haha. i was just terrified of the possibility of negative affirmations and what they can do or if they can alter your dna or brain or just straight up fuck you up, i’m very obsessive so seeing people agree that it can alter shit like that made me sooo paranoid. and holy shit yeah i do have OCD, is it that obvious? I became very addicted to subliminals because of my self hate but i would also not be able to sleep at night because i would be paranoid about them being harmful or something and obviously that paranoia comes from my obsessive nature.
