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

Is it true that ppl without ocd may not even notice some of their thoughts in the first place that people with ocd notice and fixate on?

How does your perfectionism OCD manifest?
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.

What do you guys think?
I see a lot of posts and comments here along the lines of... "the thoughts/urges aren't you -- they're just OCD." Though this is often true and comforting, isn't this just a form of reassurance? The way to beat OCD is by accepting that the distressing thoughts MAY be true/real, a.k.a. "from you" or "not just OCD." By brushing distressing things off as "just OCD," you excuse the thoughts and therefore feel reassured. Obviously it is good to be aware of what OCD does to you and know when you're experiencing a spiral, but crediting all distressing thoughts to OCD is a way of finding certainty about them. What do you guys think of this? Am I right or wrong? This is just the way I think about it, but I see the "this is just OCD" thing so much on here and I often wonder if that is a form of reassurance.
