Lately I’ve been hearing that criminality is a social construct and people agreeing and explaining and it’s super triggering with my sensitive ocd brain because then I start thinking my harm and horrible ocd thoughts are going to come true and that I’m going to start thinking it’s ok to do bad things ugh😭
i was thinking about this today too !! it stresses me out because if i start to not care anymore then i could also do anything that comes to mind. it’s terrifying to think that i only have self control because everyone says it’s wrong.
@Mack0213 THISSSSSS, like I feel like what if I turn my humanity switch off 😭😭
@alawryns im glad someone understands this 😌 but personally i think im coming to the conclusion that i should be proud of my current self control. i experience hocd on a daily basis and i haven’t committed any crimes so thats enough for me.
@Mack0213 What u mean self control?🥹
@alawryns well there are people in the world that have these thoughts AND act on them. i haven’t acted on any of my thoughts and im self aware that i don’t wish to act on the thoughts despite my mind constantly bringing it up. i am not my thoughts.
Well it's socially constructed in the sense that if enough people suddenly find something unacceptable, we tend to make laws to punish or limit said behavior. These unacceptable and acceptable actions drastically depend on local culture and what the society already values. Even if let's say you thought it was okay to do certain bad things doesn't mean you have to do them. What creates actual action is way more complicated than thoughts and urges. Do they play a role in actions? Yes, but they also play a role in people that every day decide its not worth their time to follow through with it because it's silly, weird, or not a path they want to take.
@ImagineSisyphusHappy So am I evil?😣
@alawryns Morality is once again something that's very subjective. We could find a group of people from different countries, religions and various other groups and ask them and they'd all come up with different answers. What I'd personally say is you're a human who is probably done something you or others would find unacceptable at some point in time because pretty much every human has. It's pretty hard if not impossible to be perfect which is why people that are claimed to be have some kind of Godhood or enlightenment because it's abnormal but something I think most people which they could achieve because most people have a conscious that tries to keep them in check according to their values and the values of the local community they want to be accepted by. Humans are social creatures, we want to be accepted by some part of society. It's very rare for people to be completely antisocial with no guilt or remorse which is why it's considered a personality disorder.
@ImagineSisyphusHappy I’m severely antisocial tho so what that mean?😳😳
@alawryns People misinterpret it all the time. I don't mean antisocial in common english use of word like someone that's introverted or has social anxiety. Antisocial Personality disorder is the real name for the disorder sociopaths and psychopaths have. It's called "antisocial behavior" because they do actions that are socially harmful.
The people saying that are the ones that are criminals and want anarchy 😂
@Nica Yea but I think they’re trying to say that there’s a lot of people and and higher power people that do stuff that regular people would be in jail for life for
@alawryns That’s not at all mentioned con the post. I’m not replying to anything else in discussion by others.
@Nica In the OP post*
Well it's a common argument by people that are communists and sometimes socialists. And the end goal of communism is anarchy but a structured one. So you're not entirely wrong though socialists tend to go more with the argument they should have to go to mental wards instead of prison and all that money that went towards prison would be redirected to those wards and the criminals would be treated for their mental health problems and released when found no longer dangerous to themselves and others.
@ImagineSisyphusHappy I’m not going into a whole debate about this topic on a app for OCD. It’s not a criminal justice or philosophy class where I would for a grade 😂
@Nica Oh totally get it. Just saying where the argument usually comes from. Very common far left leaning argument. Wasn't saying it's a good or bad argument, purely just sharing :)
I have all kinds of thoughts that aren’t me it feels like someone is talking to me telling me evil things about people or to do evil things 😞😞😞😞 I can’t do this anymore
So I have harm ocd for sure and I get triggered by some m1rder cases like for some reason my brain gets latched to them and the perpetrators my brain goes ‘what if they’d find you attractive’ ‘would you be one of their victims’ and it feels like they’re watching me, if that makes sense, like they’re watching me, is this a symptom of any type of OCD? Please no judgement I’m super scared and I hate that my brain does this
Does anyone else’s OCD convince them that bad thoughts are not actually that bad…. Like I know they are so why do I feel like they arent😭😭
