I cut someone off in the middle of what they were saying because at the last minute I knew what they were talking about. I apologized for this and how I worded what I said, and they didn't really acknowledge it but they don't seem mad at me. I feel like a really shitty person though. This is something I want to stop doing through text
I constantly cut people off and hate myself for it. I have really bad ADD plus the OCD makes for a really bad combo when it comes to conversation. This is the biggest thing that even my family gets upset with me about. I still replay conversations from years ago over and over again where I am guilty of this. There is an app called Unstuck that has helped me reprocess these thoughts and constantly replaying these conversations! It has been one of the only things that has helped me through this process!
I did this and felt like crap for months every time i thought about it. Trust me when I say it's the biggest waste of time ever and the person you did it to doesn't care, has already forgotten about it and they've probably done what you did to someone else who also doesn’t really care about it. With OCD we tend to be hard on ourselves for the small things but please don't give into it.
I don't think they acknowledged it in the first place but I can't let it go.
I guarantee you they'll forget about it in no time. It was a genuiene mistake, don't dwell on it C:
It doesn't feel like a mistake. Sometimes I'm just used to doing it through text and I guess I don't feel bad then but I feel bad now. It's something I want to try and stop doing. I'm slowly forgetting about it but I just don't like how I slip up like this
@BigGyro09 I think there's this weird feeling with moral OCD where it feels like we hold ourselves to the standard of not making human mistakes. And sometimes those human mistakes include intentional ones. Even though to me it still doesn't sound like it was intentional, but regardless, again, you're still human. You can't never 100% make any sort of mistake or conflict , thats just impossible. You didn't ruin anyone's day or hurt anyone. You'll be okay! ♡
@Northern_Downpour I guess I wasn't thinking that much of it when it happened, but afterwards I did. I just don't like how that went down. I definitely didn't mean to sound mean when I cut them off, but I still did it when I shouldn't have. I guess OCD is coming into it as well because I feel like I can't make any mistakes at all sometimes.
@BigGyro09 That was your rational brain, lol. Knew it wasn't a big deal in the moment but then OCD turned it against you. That's how it goes 🫠 stupid disorder
@BigGyro09 You can practice exposures with this. Think about how you did that and tell yourself maybe maybe not to whatever fear comes up.
If you ever want to practice cutting me off mid sentence I’m here
I said something stupid and insensitive earlier. I didn’t mean to offend but realized it came off that way. Now I’m feeling guilty and ashamed of myself. I’m sorry.
I feel like a horrible person. I was not a good person during the pandemic, did not follow the rules and lied a lot. I feel so so guilty about it now, I can't believe how immoral I was. and now I can't stop confessing. I confessed to some of the people I could've hurt, and they don't care/are telling me to stop feeling guilty. I keep thinking about more details I feel like I need to share, I probably seem really crazy to them because the rational part of me knows they don't care, like this was months ago at this point. I just can't stop, my entire days are consumed by this. My mom has even taken my phone so that I stop texting them because I probably seem insane. I just feel like I don't deserve friends or help or sympathy because of the immoral things I have done. I just want to be happy again, and enjoy life. I feel like I have learned a lot of lessons from this, but I still can't seem to move on.
I feel like I’m a bad person
