Pocd people lying about ages
Anyone ever have an obsession about the idea of people lying about their ages? I am so extremely paranoid when back in the day I’d be pretty easy going with the idea. I believed people to a degree and went with my own judgment. This was from 18-19 and for the most part I think I was pretty spot on. Now I turn 20 and this obsession has kicked in I’m deathly afraid I might’ve talked inappropriately with someone who lied about their age over online. I don’t talk to anyone online anymore, I don’t make friends, I have to ID the people I talk to and I’ve become pretty reclusive and obsessive. Even people who do show ID’s to me won’t satisfy my extreme paranoia. I’ll always have this nagging voice in my head… haunting me. I’ve had to make someone show me two pieces of ID just to calm my whirlwind of a mind. All of this because if I had ever talked inappropriately with a minor even accidentally at 18-19 I know that I’d never live it down. Cause knowing that just feels like a quick trip to nowhere land for me. I’d be a danger to myself, and maybe that’s why I have such a deep deep deep fear over this all. That I won’t be scared of what others may think of me, but what I might think of myself. I scare me more than anyone.
