I love horror movies and would watch them random sometimes even Terrifier cause art is my new favorite character. I just felt like I was a bad person for this⁉️ I don’t support his actions but I like his goofy faces he makes. I can’t enjoy anything no more Literally me rn in life
help i relate, everything happened or i do i always feel like im a bad person for it
Ive been there! Heres how i think about it to help: Keep in mind that liking a fictional character is not an endorsement of their actions in the real world. Sit with the discomfort and let the doubts be. Say to the OCD, “I hear you, but you aren’t helpful.”
Dude yes I love watching murder documentaries but sometimes I start to get anxious and start to convince myself I’m a murderer and I’m only watching them to get ideas ? 😭😭 idk how to explain it but they trigger me sometimes so I take breaks from watching violent stuff
It's really common to have these kinds of thoughts and feelings when you have OCD, especially when it comes to things you enjoy. Your brain might latch onto the 'what ifs' and make you question whether liking a character like Art means you're a bad person. It's important to remember that these are just thoughts, and they don't define who you are. You're not alone in this, and many people with OCD experience similar struggles.
I heavily relate! I love Art as a character. He adds an element of humor to such abhorrent acts. Terrifier is one of my favorite movie series but it never fails to flair up my moral OCD. You’re not alone!
I agree with the comment above! And, I experience this, too! Horror movies are a huge trigger, or just anything that, in reality, might go against my morals. For example, once I'd been watching a show, and they suddenly revealed that a character I'd previously liked and found entertaining cheated on their partner. Immediately, I felt icky and anxious, and I almost dropped the show entirely lol I'm learning that I can enjoy movies or shows and complex characters without it meaning I'm in support of their actions or would in the real world! :) It's tough, but sit with the uncomfortable feelings and continue on.
Is this ocd? I Have a thought or think something f harmful that I’ve gotten intrusive thoughts about - and get a feeling like I want/like it or it would give me relief??? Please tell me that will eventually go away and I’ll get my real feelings back??? Or have I just turned into those things? Sometimes things that make me upset it even feels like I’ll do them just so I can be upset about them.
I love Terrifier and I love horror movies but I have these intrusive thoughts or fear ever since Terrifier 3 came out and I feel extremely bad about cause it’s not about me. Every time I hear someone talk negatively about the director and creator my brain goes “what if you support that?” Or “What if they’re actually sick in the head for making that movie?” Or “what if you’re a bad person for liking movies with so much blood and gore” or something like “the director is a bad person for making a movie like that you should not be watching that” or “you shouldn’t like that character” and etc. I feel so bad😭 and my ocd brain is asking “is he a bad person” “should I not enjoy this?” Etc. like I can’t enjoy shit with negitave Nancy’s and Joe’s on the internet and shit😞😭
Having ocd that I’m gonna become this horror movie guy, how do I fix this lol it’s crazy
