Is this OCD?

Ever since I was a child I have had these experiences that I can’t explain. I’ll have these random moments where I’ll be in the vicinity of a person that just causes me discomfort for some unknown reason… like I’ll see their face and it will just cause me anxiety and discomfort? And I’ll just feel like something horrible is going to happen? It’s difficult to explain and I feel like I sound crazy 😅 but does anyone else know what I’m talking about? I’ve never known what it is or where it comes from but I’m now thinking maybe it’s an OCD thing? Extra points if someone knows what subtype 😂 (I’m kidding about the points thing btw)

Brianna to be completely honest it could be a form of OCD or you could be spiritually sensitive. Which means your "spirit", "aura", "chi" or whatever you want to call it picks up on that particular individuals energy. An they could have a low vibration or negative energy and your body reacts as a warning so to speak. Keep it mind this is all theoretical, it could be a form of OCD but it also could be something else entirely. Some people call it getting a "bad vibe" from someone. It could be you having a mental health disorder or it could be something far more deeper than that like an internal warning about that person's intentions or what type of person they are.

@DrewHolland74 I have thought this as well! The only question now is how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety! There have been PLENTY of times where I’ve had a horrible feeling about a person, but I know that one is intuition because I get a creepy vibe. But there are times where the person doesn’t seem creepy in any discernible way but they give me a bad feeling.

@Brianna 0803 Trust in your intuition, you can't trust your OCD, it's the biggest liar of them all. For instance I've personally have been lied to, lied about, gaslit, and manipulated. For years I thought they just didn't understand what they were doing. The whole "God forgive them for they not know what they do" kind of thing. But I was being delusional believing my best interest was their intentions. They have literally taken my money, family, freedom and sanity but they never took my faith. Similar to the parable Jesus quoted, a plant is known by the fruit they bear. I've came to the conclusion that my discernment has been way off and have reached the point where if an individual is doing nothing to assist me in being who I'm meant to be, which includes a person who helps others, a father to my children and the career that's within God's will but instead makes me suffer and creates chaos in my life resulting in severe depression. While sitting back withholding assistance just because they can, tells me the type of cruel narcissistic person they are. With a goal of how far you can push a man until they break. I'm only speaking from my personal experiences over the last 8 years. People will hide behind religion or wholesome intentions but they're no more than evil in the flesh. I can relate with your statement where they don't seem "creepy" but those are the ones you pay closer attention to. The man or woman with a badge or in the pulpit at church, even the philanthropist that seems theyre a good hearted individual are the ones that will lie, deceive and do everything in their power to destroy you. Trust your bad feelings about people Brianna. Don't allow someone to ever do to you what has been done to me. Those who you feel you should trust are the ones you should always question their motives.
