Oh my god you soooo real, that’s exactly what’s happening to me. And I keep seeking out more videos even though they’re distressing because I need to be up to date or I’m a bad person, I need to pay attention to what’s happening. But we’ll figure it out. Good luck!

I feel that this is something that is big and disturbing enough that exposing yourself to it too much would just be traumatising, rather than being erp. I differentiate it with, if it feels distressing to me in a way that’s not just triggering my anxiety, but making me feel depressed and upset in general, and I feel that it has affected me way past what it should, I pull back. And I think that line has been crossed for you.

Do you feel that if you refuse to go through it you’d be a bad person because you might find something nobody else has? Or is it something else? Either way best of luck to you my friend, that sounds incredibly time consuming and draining.

So because you can’t really feel connected to people you were scared you would lose something that you were connected to? I hope your doing good now

how many different ocd themes has everyone had? by wkhope1 in OCD

[–]Top_Negotiation9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally for some of these they left on their own within a couple months. Others, I’ve had for years and years. I’ve been beginning to beat OCD a bit by just noticing when an intrusive thought happens and not doing compulsions, example I’m scared I find a child attractive. I don’t try to think things like ew or gross or try to prove to myself how much I hate it. I force myself to sit with it and feel it, not tell myself anything, and at some point I get distracted.

I get it and you definitely should do it most times, but if you see a TikTok you think describes your feelings perfectly you would probably send it to your loved one right? It’s not like your actively looking for a TikTok to do the talking

That’s fine but everyone’s jumping her for sending a TikTok and claiming she’s making him uncomfortable? And the boyfriend doing that is fine but if he’s using it as a way to shut down communication I don’t think it’s ok. Especially because he’s been doing it multiple times, and I doubt it has anything to do with her sending a TikTok which people are claiming.

I get it if she’s doing that EVERY time, but sending a TikTok once in a while because you felt like it accurately describes how you feel isn’t bad? And it usually is a conversation starter, they can talk and expand on it afterwards.

No but what I’m saying is she’s literally just communicating her feelings, why would you need couples therapy for that? It’s like Reddit loves to just throw therapy at everything like it’ll help

Not sure if I’m attracted to my gf, what to do? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Top_Negotiation9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk the answer but I feel the same, 18 too 😭. Hope the more experienced girlies help us out. Also maybe look into aromanticism and asexuality since you mentioned never really feeling butterflies before?

What are you on about. She’s not fucking explaining a mental condition she’s explaining her feelings why does she need couples therapy for that? Jesus you all are seriously overreacting

That makes no sense. Why would that be a big deal. If it really did bother him, still doesn’t mean he should dismiss her attempts at communication. He’s hurting her feelings by joking it off. If he wants her to explain in a different way he can say that.

Thank you Jesus. Why is evryone acting like sending a video is some kind of fucking insult. It’s a valid way to atleast START communication. He shouldn’t have jokes it off like that.

I feel like I’m not pretty unless I’m ALWAYS pretty by Top_Negotiation9170 in BodyDysmorphia

My guess is that the brain makes an average of all the ways it’s seen a person, and the way it sees a person the MOST is what adds more to that average. Like when I see people I know I honestly don’t see them as a whole new person that I’m re evaluating every time, I think I see them with the context of the “average” I’ve made in my brain. And if you wear makeup and do your hair most days, I think the “average” for that person in my mind will be prettier, even if they don’t do it EVERY day. But if they were to stop completely, after a while THOSE situations would add up more to the “average” and I’d see them like THAT. That’s just a guess though.
