Like imposter syndrome?
Do y'all ever have intrusive thoughts that you're faking or being manipulative when you try to be kind to someone or do a good deed?

Yes. For me, I try to be my best no matter what. If that means I have to be fake nice and be kind, I’ll still do it. I think it just matters that you’re being kind regardless. You’re allowed to be kind to people but think to yourself “ehh I didn’t really wanna do that”. Hope this helps lol
Yes!
@Fearlessturkey That's a good way of thinking!

@jserrano92 And yes that too!
Omg yes all the time or like if someone is sad and I say something nice to them after I get thoughts like you didn’t actually want to be nice to them or you faked being nice to them yoy don’t actually like or care about them All the time.
@ambermayx Yesssss
@La25 Glad I can relate so it’s not just me this post made me feel seen
cause immense guilt when receiving gifts? Or when someone is nice to you, the guilt just floods every vein of your existence. I feel so awful :( awful about my compulsions, about some of my thoughts, about who OCD has made me. My boyfriend just gifted me something, and I have such a heavy feeling in my chest. Worst part is: when I’m not feeling guilty I’m spiraling over that gift was enough, if it could’ve been “better.” I feel like an idiot. I don’t understand why I’m like this
Where it's like "help the poor, oppressed, marginalized or youre a bad person" but also "don't help them too much cause that's saviorism" but also "don't talk about how you help because that's virtue signaling ," but also "silence is complicit speak out!" Like how do we know if we are doing the morally right thing?
So I struggle with my motives. Like I’ll have an intrusive thought that says “what if you did that because you wanted to attract this person?” And then I ruminate and always come to the conclusion that I did it for that bad reason. The thing is when I did that action I didn’t even think anything of it. But now I’m like how could I do that? Maybe it’s my mind twisting things but I genuinely believe I’m a p. I had another panic attack today because of this.
