Intrusive thoughts are often irrational and things you don’t want to do but fear you will. People with POCD, for example, don’t actually want intimate contact with a minor, they just fear they do. OCD is full of people fearing they need to or want to do things that don’t align with their values. If I’m on a train platform and the train is approaching, I may get the intrusive thought to push the person in front of me onto the tracks. Do I want to harm them? Do I wish them harm? Absolutely not. Thoughts are just thoughts. Don’t absorb what he said as fact.

Whoever told you that is dumb, because intrusive thoughts are just thoughts about the most random thing that could happen, often negative things, but they are NOT indicative of what YOU'RE thinking at all. When I'm at the store, I, once or twice, had an instrusive thought about how easily I could slip a note saying that I have a concealed weapon and that they should give me all the money in the register now to the cashier, but obviously I won't do that because of multiple reasons, like the fact that it's not in my nature to do something so awful, it's morally wrong, and I don't want to get arrested. Instrusive thoughts mean absolutely nothing.

I have an ongoing talk with a friend who also has the understanding "I am not my thoughts" and it brings up what "you" are. You aren't your thoughts but you can be your values, your joy, the parts of you that have grown. You are NOT your thoughts, you are SO MUCH more.

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

Intrusive thoughts during self intimacy
Today has been really hard I feel like I can’t even breathe I feel like a pedo for real :( whenever i think during my alone time i try and coexist with it? but when i decided to think and think i panic and panic more and more i start feel more guilty guys I can’t take this anymore bc when I kinda feel certain it fades aways i think logically i know i probably am ok :( but it’s so scary for me what if i did actually act on the thought and I didn’t realize? And now reflecting it ???
