Anyone had the fear that the only reason your obsession isn't true is because of what others would think if it was true and not because it actually isn't true?? I remember some past thoughts and they are making me afraid that the thoughts were true but I told myself they weren't. ERP suggestions?

Yes. Always afraid that my SOOCD is just because of society.

How do I deal with that? It feels like it's just completely true 😥

@Hopeforthefuture You can practice ERP and say to yourself, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t and sit there just accepting the uncertainty and try not to do your compulsion

Glad I'm not alone in this. Thought I may be the only one 😥
