anyone?
have you ever experienced this? Your mind often comes up with bad judgments about people but you know you don't want to think that way, it just shows up and you feel you're a bad person.

Just because you have a judgement about someone, does not mean 100% that you are a bad person. Sitting with the discomfort is a great step. Maybe doing exposures on saying really judgmental mean things to a loved one or your therapist could be a cool exposure, to sit with that discomfort.
I get this too. I just try to smile through it and be polite.
They immediatley come into my mind as if I was the one who created them. It sucks alot.
thank you guys for sharing your experience. i know its really sucks :(
All the time especially abt my boyfreind
@marieleanne The more I feel affection for that person, the more I feel I'm a bad person. I hate that thought, because it just comes out of nowhere, like it's not my wish to think like that. usually come up with words that insult other people.
@fh2828 I know exactly what you mean
Yes, except the bad judgments are always me, killing my confidence, focus, drive for life.
Yup or just saying the most evil thing I could think of. It’s scary and doesn’t make sense
I have made multiple mistakes in my past that lead me to believe im a bad person. thinking about them often sends me into a panic attack. i cant help but feel i need to be punished. i hate this feeling, what should i do?
Lately, I’ve been struggling with feelings that I might be sabotaging myself in my relationship. By sabotage, I mean that I find it hard to stop engaging in compulsions, like seeking reassurance or overanalyzing my thoughts. I also sometimes behave badly with my boyfriend, and the intrusive thoughts I have can completely change my mood. I love my boyfriend—he’s such a good, beautiful, and wonderful person—but I’m afraid these thoughts are going to ruin things. I truly want to love him, but I’m scared. I know the thoughts are anxiety-driven, but they still make me question if I’m forcing myself to stay with him. Today, for example, I felt okay earlier, but when he called me on video, I suddenly felt like I didn’t feel anything, and I started thinking I don’t like how he looks. These thoughts hit me like a wave, and I panicked. Usually, I find him very attractive, but when these thoughts come, I feel sad and disconnected. What’s confusing is that I also have many moments—like today and in the past few days—where I’ve felt really good and I’ve felt love for him. I feel awful writing this because my boyfriend doesn’t deserve this, and I feel like I’m posting out of habit. It makes me scared that I don’t want to accept the truth, even though I know I care about him. I hate feeling this way because it feels like I’m betraying him by having these thoughts and posting them. Has anyone else dealt with these feelings of sabotaging their relationship or feeling like they’re forcing themselves to stay? How do you cope when the thoughts feel like they’re true, and how do you work through the fear of letting go of anxiety
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
