Does anyone with OCD not think they are the exception haha
or do we all believe we are the exception...

It's difficult, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have OCD because of the symptoms, but I've been looking for tranquility and answers for years, I doubt that someone genuine will waste so much time on this for years, even, I feel that they would act secretly if the problem is what friends and family think, but it's that I feel that this is not who I was or who I want to be and at the same time I feel that I'm in a cycle, many things that today I perceive before didn't exist or I didn't worry, but sometimes you doubt that it's not OCD and you're in denial, but there you go back to know that it's not what you feel deep down
Just when I used to post stuff and was ignored I used to think that no one answered me because they didn't relate and that I was a monster and that everyone thought that about me , that I was the exception

Yes I use to think that but do not anymore
I’ve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesn’t mean it’s true or that it defines me. I’ve started learning how to see OCD for what it is—just a disorder trying to trick me—and I’ve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?
Does anyone struggle with feeling like their ocd issues are not ocd enough compared to other peoples ocd? Is this an ocd thought itself lol
I haven't been able to read about experiences similar to mine when it comes to my perfectionism OCD so I was wondering if anyone had any "uncommon" experiences.
