It’s more of a “I’ve heard this thought 20000000 times so I’m not going to have a huge reaction to it” response in your brain. For example, if someone comes up and tells you something crazy. You’re going to be like wow, that’s surprising! Maybe having a big reaction. However, if someone comes and tells you this same thing over and over and over 2000s of times a day… you probably get tired of the story and get annoyed it keeps coming up. You don’t have the same reaction to it because you’ve been in the same mental loop 2000s of times.

I feel that way too sometimes. I think it’s our brains way of trying to tell us to not get better so we can stay in this comfortable but not healthy lifestyle

Yep, this is honestly concerning me the most because it feels like these thoughts are changing me and my values. I know my POCD is bad but my brain is like “but what if that’s what you want? What if you don’t think it’s bad? What if it actually makes sense?” The worst part is not being as anxious as I used to be. My brain is using that as proof that I’m just a bad person now. I hate it and just want it to leave me alone but idk how to go back.
