i do, i feel stupid and i feel guilty and it also comes with a lot of shame as it feels like i don’t deserve it and it feels like im hiding who i “truly” am like my intrusive thoughts and things, if that makes sense

Yes. I used to feel guilty for wanting to have long hair that’s why I always cut it to shoulder‘s length (so I don’t seduce men [OCD thought]). I felt guilty when I wore a dress. I felt guilty when I smiled at a man. Until someone told me it’s OCD.

@Anonymous Hm, the key was that someone told me for the first time about the differences that our thoughts are not who we are etc. I went to a psychotherapist for the first time and found out not all thoughts are true And then I started therapy and did ERP etc. that helped👍

i do feel guilty about dressing up, i don’t know it makes me feel like i’m doing “too much.” it’s something i enjoy doing bc i love expressing myself but always get these thoughts someone will make fun of me or i will look totally stupid in front of everyone else it’s so lame
