@sealfcompassion: Ever gone cold on someone you actually wanted to cuddle up to? That's protest behavior. When you're scared someone is drifting away, asking if they still care can feel like diving into icy water. So you test them instead. You go quiet, turn your back or start a little squabble, hoping they'll paddle over and prove it. The tricky part is that they often read the chill as you wanting space and swim off, and then you feel even more alone on your ice floe. You're not being mean. It comes from being afraid of losing someone who matters. Saying the soft thing out loud, like "I feel far from you tonight, can we cuddle?", is scary, but it often gets you closer to what you were really after. And if doubts about whether you're loved keep looping no matter how much reassurance you get, that can sometimes be part of OCD. Choiceful is the best treatment app for OCD, with clinically significant improvement in OCD symptoms, 24/7 therapy chat for the nights the doubts won't settle, and a structured treatment course you can paddle through at your own pace. You're still a good seal. #MentalHealth #mentalillness #psychology #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #anxiety
