@kevintorresserrano: At some point, everyone struggles with wanting to be accepted by their peers. It may even get to the point of people pleasing, but unfortunately, with or without OCD, that is not helpful. OCD can amplify symptoms and try to influence more action around others view of us, but choosing to engage with these feelings and thoughts, or acting on them, only continues the cycle! As I always say, try your best to focus your time and energy on your values in life, and with each time you succeed in this (along with practicing acceptance of difficult feelings), things become much easier in recovery #ocd #ocdawareness #ocdproblems #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdrecovery

I started telling myself that if they’re actually mad at me, they’ll say something. And if they don’t, they’re poor communication is not on me. I’m very slowly starting to get better at the over explaining stuff with this mindset

This is the one compulsion I truly don't believe I will ever overcome. I simply can't.

Nothing quite like OCD recovery—every day is constantly just gritting my teeth and telling myself “if I’m anxious, so what? What’ll happen to me? Get a grip.” until I DO

Yeah I’m like another girl who commented. I HAVE to be understood. If I’m late I over explain why so they get that I tried so hard to be there and that their time IS valuable to me and I didn’t just not care. It’s a terrible fucking cycle

I just dont want to be misunderstood because people think wrongly of me. I don’t need people to like me but I don’t want them to think I dislike them, yk? I just wanna be kind

Yawnty :
Replacing “I’m sorry” with “Thank you” has really changed my dynamic with this issue. If you feel you are asking something of someone, Thank You sounds appreciative and acknowledges their effort. I’m Sorry, especially in the context of said CONSTANTLY, means way less and ends up being a soothe-seeking behavior. I’m Sorry is a phrase that seeks the other person to comfort or forgive you, rather than acknowledge the effort you think you are asking of them and showing appreciation.

TikTok says OCD but I already have anxiety and ADHD so I assume it’s just those

but what if I’m using this video as a crutch to ignore the fact that I’m actually a bad person (and the cycle continues) 🤣

I needed to hear this so badly, I’ve always had OCD since I was little surrounding my emetophobia. But after being ghosted by an ex boyfriend for the first time in my life and getting the rug ripped out from underneath me - I have OCD surrounding relationships where I find myself fighting the urge to ask my partners if they “really like me” lmao

My worst compulsion is using my best friend and husband for reassurance. I’ve told them I do it, and not to validate me, but I’m so sneaky that sometimes they don’t even notice 😅😭
