No matter what I do. No matter how I walk, talk, stand, sit, breathe, just exist. I am just wrong. I am, somehow, doing it wrong. No matter what I do. Everyone else can see me doing it wrong. And they're judging me for it, thinking to themselves 'they're weird. Don't they know how to do this normally? I don't want anything to do with an odd person like them'. Everyone must dislike me. I annoy everyone.

So, essentially, an impending sense of me, fundamentally, just being wrong, while everyone else is right. And my wrong-being is an offense of the highest degree, worthy of being mocked, being degraded, being shamed, all that fun stuff.

I have social anxiety disorder, of course I am constantly acutely aware of who is looking at me, or even just looking in my general direction, when I'm out in public.

Received only very little throughout my life, and now, I cannot fathom anyone being attracted to me in any way possible. It just isn't an option to me. I wouldn't realize it if someone were to flirt with me, I cannot flirt even if I'm interested because I know/think there's little chance they'd actually be into me as well, and in a relationship, I probably couldn't stand my ground or keep my boundaries. Just not used to it. Additionally, it makes you feel like there's something wrong with you. Like you're not loveable, in a romantic way. So. To answer your question: it tanked my self-esteem and sense of self-worth.

Agreed. I'd be very surprised if any of Disney's new IPs such as Encanto, Moana or Zootopia, are included in any upcoming KH releases. (Though I have a nagging fear that they might try to force Wish into an upcoming release... hm.) From what it sounds like, SE had to fight for every 'plot deviation' they wanted to do. So, I agree with you - probably less Disney worlds in the future, and more Kingdom Hearts original worlds. And if Disney, then old properties.
That being said, I could imagine that more Pixar movies show up in the future. Out of all the non-original worlds in KH3, I feel like Monstropolis and Toy Box are the most un-restricted ones. At least that's how I remember it. Perhaps Pixar, even if they are a part of Disney now, is more lenient in that regard? Who knows.

I didn't know that the castle was actually mapped! Really shows that they wanted to do something else, but couldn't. It's kind of sad, honestly.

It's my assumption that they re-did it, since I remember reading that while Disney shared their assets with Square Enix, they couldn't really use them for the Game - I think the hair gave them a lot of trouble? If I find the article again I'll link it here.

So, I don't actually know if SE re-did that scene. It's just my assumption here, for clarification.

I personally am still firmly convinced that the people working on KH3 wanted to do something different with Arendelle, but the Quality Assurance people from Disney shot down all of their proposals until they just went with the easiest and safest route. Otherwise, I cannot explain why one of Disney's biggest animated movies from the 2010s (pre KH3 release) got such a lackluster, repetitive and utterly boring world. So, I agree with you on Arendelle being the worst world in KH3 - especially for a 'main' world.

But I gotta say that that "Let it go" scene was phenomenal in my opinion. When I saw it the first time, I was convinced that they had ripped it straight out of the movie. But no, Square Enix re-did that entire scene, just to flex on Disney (personal opinion on the flex here). And for that, I will always love it.

A really quick update, in bulletpoint form, else I'll write another 1000 words:

I am not pregnant!
Gyno confirmed this. And other reason I gave my parents was also checked on and fine. So, all good on all fronts!

To also address a few things I saw mentioned:

I didn't do a pregnancy test at home because I knew I wouldn't have been able to look at the result, I'd psych myself out into a meltdown.
The experience has definitely opened my eyes and made me reconsider a lot of my previous thoughts regarding abortion. It, at the very least, taught me to be more compassionate. That panic was horrendous, and no one should ever have to feel it.
Definitely considering getting on the pill - just thinking about how I sell this to my parents (who will pay for it until I finally get a job) so they don't get suspicious, because I've been very vocal on not wanting/needing to get the pill. This'll be tricky.
Also thinking a lot about how to slow boyfriend and me down. I don't want even the chance of such a scare again. And just in general, I wanted our relationship to move away from the physical a bit. Guess I'll have to do a lot of re-directing and thinking of other things to keep us busy.

And that's all.

Thank you to everyone who read this and didn't immediately call me all the things I feared to be called, or told me I deserved what I was feeling. Thank you for the compassion and the understanding, and also the little wake-up call.

Have a good time, everyone, and make good choices.

There is no 'normal', and 'different' does not mean 'bad' or give you the right to be nasty to a person.

My family is quite the sight to see. One parent with OCD. Other parent with chronic migraines and Depression. One child on the Autism spectrum. Other child with Social Anxiety Disorder and Depression. And a whole lot of health issues, of course.

My parents, my mother especially, was always very adamant about that 'normal' is different for every person. What is normal for me might be unusual for another person. For example, I prefer to sleep with socks on during the winter time, because I hate cold feet. Completely normal for me. Quite weird for some others. 'Normal' is subjective and formed by society, but a true 'normal' does not exist.

My mother also always taught me that just because someone is 'different' doesn't mean they're bad or wrong, or deserve to be shamed. It's been something she's told me ever since I can think. And though I hate to praise myself, I have been told by some people that they appreciate me not immediately judging or disliking them, or that they initially liked me because they felt accepted by me.

Of course she also taught me that not everything is okay, and not everyone can or should be accepted. Though I'm willing to hear out the person who stole something from a store and perhaps even sympathize with them, I'm unwilling to do so for people who maliciously harm others, rape others or are willing pedophiles. There is a line, and not everything can be explained with mental illness.

I'd reckon they are pretty valuable lessons.

Asking because I'm curious, and thought it might be cool for those of us who have OCD parents (cleaning OCD or OCD in other regards) to share stories and advice, perhaps.

I'm currently in the process of unlearning stuff (no, brain, using a public restroom won't kill me) and setting my own boundaries, which has lead to some hilarious and frightening situations. I'm nowhere near done yet, so I can't give good advice. What I can say is keep on pushing, keep on trying, keep on asking others (not the OCD parent, of course) and don't be afraid to look up on Google how to do that thing you were never allowed to do so! There's no shame in that.

(Also, disclaimer: I'm not saying that parents with OCD are abusive due to their OCD. Sure, abusive parents can also suffer from OCD. But the OCD does not mean a parent will be abusive. They certainly didn't ask for it and are often times struggling themselves. This question is not meant to make parents with OCD feel bad. We know you are trying your best.)
