driving is so frustrating for my optimization OCD because I project it onto other drivers 😔 it bothers me to no end how inefficient and unobservant other drivers are

OK but what if I end up optimizing my OCD optimization exposure therapy, by finding the most efficient way to expose myself to inefficient experiences?

OCD is such a ridiculous thing sometimes and the things we have to do to heal our brains can be even more ridiculous. My therapist had me look at pictures of bugs yesterday and then not check my house for bugs afterwards, and it sucked so bad. 😂

I have rejection issues. I try to get a “planned” rejection everyday. To work on it. It works.

Oh wow I’ve never thought of exposure therapy for optimization ocd. Because a lot of the feelings of needing optimization was born out of true need. This is so interesting.

my car has gotten older and I don’t feel comfy going over like 60 anymore in her and it has been the biggest test of my patience as a girly who has always trying to optimize my travels 😩

I've done this somewhat as like exposure/ tolerance therapy like with adhd and even forcing myself to finish every tiktok instead of skipping when itching to bc of lost interest

I started choosing the slow lane, and I’ve found it generally only makes a 2-3 minute difference in the overall time of my daily commute

Realizing I may also have optimization OCD as well. Forced myself to do exposure therapy when my husband was happily driving in the slow lane. I could feel all my nerves on fire and I so desperately wanted him to get over and pass so he could go what…10mph faster? Spent five minutes just forcing my brain to shut up.

right lane actually will make you feel better tbh. letting all the idiots go past you and then eventually you're left with...no one around you for a good 30 minutes

Wouldn't you consider running a TikTok channel, while exposing yourself to non optimized things, just your way of optimizing your time? I think you might be using it as a crutch or a loophole. I still appreciate you helping others better understand OCD but I'm just looking out for you too
