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
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.
This is hard to admit, but I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts where the central theme is racism. I don’t use racial slurs but my brain worries that I have said something that hurts or offends someone and now I find myself analyzing every social interaction.
any of y’all feel like every single thing you say is some sort of manipulation. like you’re not genuine at all and everything you do is to get something out of something? the same with therapists too. i feel like ever since i was a kid i’ve manipulated my therapists in some way, like to look like the victim or so they’d think about me a certain way. like therapy could never help me cause i can’t tell when i’m lying or manipulating or whatever. i’ve seen someone mention something similar on here and just wanted to see what y’all thought!
