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

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 ??♂️
