Cancel culture is among the most toxic groups of the decade. It masquerades as social justice but it’s really just a bunch of judgmental bullies who have fun with bringing people down

I agree 100%. I think cancel culture is just a bunch of emotionally inept bullies that want to bring others down to make themselves feel better BUT my opinion doesn’t mean much when it seems we are living in a climate with a bunch of crazies who love crucifying one another.

I third on that. Cancel culture has become more self-serving in my opinion. They like to drag others down for their mistakes when they made similar ones or even worse. It’s only effective when you’re calling out a repeated offense (example: so-and-so said something racist 10 years ago but continues to make racist jokes today, even after being called out). At some point, it shook me to the core because I thought that with my mistakes, I could never be forgiven. But the key to it is to realize that everyone makes mistakes, but also try your best to not repeat the same mistake again.

This is so true. Forgiveness is a cornerstone of basic decent humanity. Cultivate forgiveness for yourself and hope that your example can persuade others

Cancel culture is horribly toxic. It's essentially peoples proclivity to shit on each other amplified thru social media and it destroys lives. One of my ocd themes is real event OCD and cancel culture triggers the shit out of me. It gives so much fuel for that constantly looking over your shoulder anxiety. I feel like I can't progress in life because I've made stupid mistakes in the past

i understand this so much. i made the mistake of emotionally cheating on my boyfriend, and now it has become one of my themes (real event ocd) because of cancel culture. i can never stop thinking about it and i think i’m the worst person in the world because of what i’ve done. it was my first relationship and i did not know how to take it seriously nor did i know how to even be in a relationship, and now that i’ve grown and researched, i realized this and i am a very different person than i was when i was younger. but it hurts knowing that by cancel culture, i could never be forgiven for making that mistake.

This is so saddening to hear, I’m sorry :( yeah , cancel culture is honestly just a radical cult of hateful people who (some of them) aren’t dealing with their own frustrations , so you project them onto others. Mistakes are good sometimes because we can use them as markers for progression and growth , and they show how meaningful our journey has been. It’s also amazing to look back and say you aren’t who you used to be. Who knows , they may be cancelled for harassment in a couple years when the public realizes they were targeting people who grew already ! ??♂️

@xiiiandreww as much as i hate the mistake i made, i am so grateful for it in the sense that i now know how hurtful what i did could actually be, and how to navigate future relationships which will prevent me from ever doing that again. thank you for your compassion, it was truly something i needed tonight :)

I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

I’ve posted something vulnerable here before and I’m trying to ride out the wave of reassurance where it’s getting at me and I’m scared of sitting still with nobody to talk to about this at the moment I genuinely think it would be easier if I wasn’t around. I view my friends as pure compared to me and I’m the most impurest. I feel like this would do a favour to stop being here I don’t know what to do, I really don’t know. I’m literally alone in this and I’m getting tired. How do you deal with stupid choices that you made as a child? I’m trying to be understanding of past mistakes but it’s gut wrenching to try and accept to say and admit you did it knowing you’ll spend the rest of your life with that guilt..is there another perspective to this..???

Due to real event ocd and past mistakes? I’ve been actively trying to work on this and try to accept and not pay too much attention to it but the confession thing has been bugging me but I’m also trying to accept that I don’t need to confess every single mistake I’ve made and we’ve all made mistakes Recently I’ve been wanting to work on myself and be more positive but because of my real events in childhood, I feel like I can’t live a normal life or deserve a normal life.
