I’m sort of new to this app and I have my own ocd but from what I’m hearing I used to struggle and sometimes still do with asking if people are mad at me. Like I used to and still do ask my mom if she’s mad at me and then I used to get upset if she was actually mad and I wouldn’t feel better until she said she wasn’t mad anymore. I don’t have the problem as much anymore though because I’ve learned that people are going to get mad and you can’t please everybody all the time. And just because someone is mad doesn’t mean they will stay mad forever. Also if your friends didn’t invite you because your clingy or have ocd just know that God made you just how he wanted to and maybe they aren’t true friends because true friends would love you no matter the ocd or being clingy. So my advice would be to find some good friends who maybe have ocd too or just some good friends who will be there to support you.

Hi astroworld ?? I’m sorry you’re feeling left out right now. I hope you know that everyone feels left out sometimes. Even the people who were invited may have felt left out of certain games or conversations once they were there. Feeling left out is a really common human experience for everyone. You may want to ask them why you weren’t invited and tell them that it hurt your feelings. Just be aware that you may not like the response (if you do get negative feedback, try not to take it to heart. Use it to better yourself if it makes sense, and ignore it if not). But no matter what, keep working in yourself. If you think you’re too clingy, see if you can try to give others more space sometimes. If someone doesn’t like you because of your OCD, that’s okay; others will like you anyways. Maybe they just weren’t the right friends for you. Get out and meet some knew people or talk to people you normally wouldn’t. You’re at a time in life where everyone is still figuring out what type of people they want to be friends with long term. You can also be someone who chooses others, not just someone who waits to be chosen.

Also, normal 14 year olds don’t get invited to stuff ALL THE TIME. No matter how cool they act or seem.

Hi, I’m new here!! I’m praying I don’t get judged for this. But, back in late May of 2022 ( literally right before I graduated high school), I added this one random girl from my school on Snapchat. She posted something about a graduation party , so I swiped up on her story basically saying how I can’t believe we’re almost graduated. She replied and we had a really short and simple conversation. The next day ( i believe) , we started talking a lot , and I just so happened to see her at the highschool when we were grabbing our graduation outfits and doing the rehearsal. When I saw her irl, I kinda got turned off ( I heard she was kinda crazy) , and on top of that , she was a little ugly irl. I remember seeing her Snapchat bio , and she was close friends with my female cousin ( a year younger than me) , who I happened to experiment sexually with when I was 10-11 years old. I remember going to work later that day and having sort of a lightbulb flick thought ( it wasn’t a good thought though) , what if my cousin told her about what happened when we were younger? So I started to kind of panic and immediately distanced myself from that girl. I also experimented sexually with one of my female friends when I was 10-11 , and from that day onwards, I’ve been pretty much living in paranoia and a little bit of guilt about someone finding out and my life being ruined . On top of that, It’s gotten worse to now sometimes I wonder if a girl I added off of quick add ( Snapchat) is underage even if they told me they were 18+ or had 18 and above in their bio, and I get so much guilt and anxiety about that. I even had a quick thought last February on what if I did something inappropriate with my younger cousin when I was 15-16 but I just can’t exactly remember when it happened , and it still eats me alive when I think about it, because I don’t know if it happened or not. I’m sorry for the long vent, I just wish I felt normal again. No matter how much I try to do things that old me used to do, life always feels “ off”. I always kept the top part about when I was younger a secret up until early (ish ) 2024, then I vented to one of my best friends and he told me that that’s a normal thing to do at a young age. Since then, I have told multiple friends and they all say they did similar stuff, but my brain just can’t accept that. Please help me, I quite literally overthink everything nowadays. 2021 was the last full year that I felt normal ( coincidentally, the best year of my life so far) . It’s not just about sexual related things either, sometimes I’ll wonder if I messed up something at work or hit a car while driving/hit someone and drove off. I just wanna live my life how I was supposed to live it after highschool ( carefree and happy) before whatever it is ( I think it’s ocd) hit me unexpectedly. Thanks to anyone who read this , I just needed to pour it out regardless of how negative I felt typing this, I hope someone can relate , because I feel so alone in my head at times.

im seeing everyone getting accepted by their colleges and im having a really hard time not comparing myself. I feel like my pure ocd has taken up my life and I wish my mind let me believe that I could work hard enough for these universities that I wanted to apply to. I feel so much embarrassment and shame in myself for having to stay in my hometown while everyone goes away to college. I can’t blame everything on my ocd, im still having a hard time accepting that I have it, I just wish I was better

Today is Easter and it was supposed to be low key for me and my family but my mom invited a family member that bothers my ocd alot and now they are on their way here and I'm freaking out I already had a panic attack (still having it) and my family is not helping either they keep making comments about how they just want one holiday with no problems and some other comments and it's like I'm sorry I'm not normal like my siblings I didn't ask to be like this now I'm just hurt, upset and I locked myself in my room for the rest of day. (And I was doing so good with erp and this is like making me have a ocd relapse)
