The problem with cancel culture is the fact that they’ll cancel people for things they’ve done like 10 years ago , and they go and brag about it on Twitter like it’s a hobby to them. They constantly overreact at the smallest things and sometimes scream “ cancelled “ in a joking way as if it’s something funny.

While that is true. I have a compulsion of confessing so I wonder if any of the confessions I did in the past will come back to haunt me...

I’m actually also struggling with the compulsion of confessing right now. I think try to think of it this way. No human walking this earth right now is without mistakes. We’ve all made them, big and small. If people want to bring you down for it it’s honestly because they’re trying to make themselves feel better about their own mistakes. It’s their defense mechanism. If we judge others then maybe we aren’t so bad , you know? Just try to live out that nobody has the right to judge your or anybody else and I am hoping that cancel culture goes away as a lot of people are already calling for it to fade. It’s not sustainable to live in a world where flawed humans are not allowed to make mistakes. It will fade and you will heal. ♥️

@freedomprojectgina Thank you... honestly my ocd is going off so bad tonight. Like it all deals around that. I keep thinking what if people I’ve been sexual with what if I hurt them in that sense and they never said? I’m terrified out of my mind. I feel horrible.

@Mars I think you should try to see your therapist as soon as possible! Don’t let your ocd lie to you, I know it feels so god damn real , but it isn’t.

@freedomprojectgina Thank you!! I’m currently in a day program so I don’t have a therapist until I’m done the day program... I have a psyche and like it helps talking to him but omg ocd just eats at me and getting triggered by call out stuff doesn’t help

Cancel culture is horrible for my ocd

OH WOW!!! I’ve been thinking about this for months. I fundamentally disagree with cancel culture anyway because I believe humans are allowed to make mistakes but it triggers my ocd like crazy because it makes you think you’ll never be forgiven and quite frankly it’s bs. But I also struggle with this.

Yeah... my ocd has been making me isolate myself and I’ve told my “mistakes” that I’ve been panicking about to psyches/therapists/social workers and they’re all like you have ocd but I know if people like my friends knew it’d be like... call out post??? Call out post... it scares me so bad I don’t wanna be a bad person or hurt anyone.

@Mars The wonderful thing is that your friends never need to find out. Your mistakes are between yourself your therapists. Don’t even let anyone make you feel like you owe them explanations.

I think you’re totally fine , if they tried to bring you down over a past mistake , they should cancel themselves too for either judging you for something they’ve also done or for overreacting and being inconsiderate when it comes to your circumstances at that time that may have caused you to make that mistake ??♂️

Youtubers are constantly getting accused of doing p*dophilic activity and its making me think my real events are as bad or as worse as them... Ive vented a lot to a lot of people in the PM's about my OCD... some of them younger (minors)... because I wanted reassurance from everyone and anyone... but this situation triggers me the most because I was venting about my 18+ HOCD situations... In an HOCD support group I was in, I vented to 2 minors in the PM's about my 18+ HOCD situations... The leader of the support group (that i vented to) was 17... I was 19 at the time... the other minor i vented to was younger (14-15)... the younger one told me she was uncomfortable when i vented to her in the PM's twice... i stopped and blocked her after she told me the second time... i kept asking the leader of the support group for reassurance for my 18+ HOCD situations for months because she kept giving me reassurance... i thought she was cute but didnt pursue her because of my age... i dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a groomer in any way... I keep getting this gut feeling in my stomach that i "flirted" with the younger one that I vented to, who i blocked after she told me twice she was uncomfortable about me venting about my 18+ hocd situations... i didnt ever vent to them for malicious intent... I was trying to get reassurance for my hocd... Plus my pocd keeps saying I cant have any opinions online because of my pocd and real events ocd situations and that Im not a good person so I cant say anything online... Also i keep getting intrusive thoughts of people labelling me as a P and a MAP in the future because of these pocd real events... And i keep getting intrusive thoughts of being outcasted and "cancelled" online when someone "exposes" me for my POCD and real events OCD...

I have OCD and C-PTSD and so sometimes having a different opinion makes me feel like I'm automatically wrong or like I'm a bad person for thinking differently. I feel like this is esepecially true with social media and Tik Tok when you see other people's opinions from a lot of different perspectives and people get labeled at a bad person by strangers who don't know them. I don't want to feel like a bad person for having a different opinion than friends and/or the internet. I mostly think the same as them in a lot of different ways, but one or two things I think differently (examples of my thoughts I see are different sometimes: I think people can change but that doesn't excuse their actions and they should get therapy; I don't think all AI is bad, it just needs better regulation and shouldn't be used to replace people, I think it can be a helpful tool; I think just because someone uploads something that's considered "weird" on a public site (like cosplay, or a fashion choice, or etc) doesn't make it okay to make a video about them and making fun of them or be mean (like the teen/child who did the "bad" red lobster cover)) How do I learn to be okay with having different opinions than other people?
