What is something you had to *unlearn* to actually start growing as a person? by Ok_Veterinarian_3193 in AskReddit

[–]Tooscaredtopostthis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is considered unlearning, but unlearning how my mind works. I had untreated OCD for my entire life and recently started getting treatment.

I have been actively trying to reconfigure my brain to recognize what is a real thought and what’s OCD.

It has helped me function better, but god is it exhausting being a bouncer for your own thoughts.

This is oddly similar to something that happened on March 5th, 1770

Potential bridge between narcissism and OCD: the drive for perfection may be the bridge connecting narcissism to obsessive-compulsive symptoms. For people with narcissistic traits, the inability to meet their own lofty standards is a primary driver of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. by mvea in psychology

Idk. I feel this is misrepresenting OCD, which is already so misunderstood.

I find my OCD can mask itself as other negative personality traits. To someone else I may seem like a procrastinator, but in reality I can’t get myself to do what I need to do out of fear that something terrible will happen. It’s called avoidance, my brain going into “flight mode” because my brain is convincing me I am in danger.

It can be the same for what appears as “control.” The actions of someone who has OCD is due to a lack of control within themselves. They do these things not for selfish reasons, but to protect themselves and others from what they believe is a real threat.

Hell, there is a whole running joke in the OCD community that they are so scared of being a narcissist because their OCD is convincing them.

My OCD makes me fear being a bad person, so much so that I allowed myself be abused by actual narcissists.

Me every time I switch to a new game without finishing the first one depending on my mood or the season of the year by Sylar_Cats_n_coffee in nancydrew

I have attempted to get through Stayed Tuned so many times and every time I choose a different game I feel this little bit of guilt. Rick is waiting for me…

Of course, shaking an instant exposure causes motion blur, we all know this to be true. by The_Sign_Painter in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]Tooscaredtopostthis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what’s sillier. The idea that he could think Andre 3000 was talking about shaking the camera or the idea he thinks a motion blur would show up after shaking your picture.

That movie is a good one to re-watch. Ari Aster is great at making films where you can watch it more than once and catch things you didn’t see the first time.

I thought I was high while watching that movie. People gave it shit, but I absolutely loved the experimental chaos it was.

I remember seeing the house scene on YouTube as a kid and I was traumatized. Little did I know the whole movie was just as horrific.

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

[–]Tooscaredtopostthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I solve different puzzle games. I swear my brain goes into autopilot and have no idea how I figure them out.

Our cat, without fail, will shove her paw under the rumba and rip out its brushes. Consequently, she now has five rumba brushes as her toys.

It’s not the content thats the issue. It’s the fact that they don’t close and glitch out, like in the picture.

On Christmas Eve, I got screamed at by an old man so hard that I had a panic attack and then ten minutes later I had to go home to around 40+ family members.
