@Keyara Yes. I had a thought that I was attracted to her son. False memory OCD convinced me that I “did” something to seduce him, which never happened. I started feeling nervous around him and my best friend to the point that I had to “confess”. It was absolutely irrational, but the thoughts and feelings were so intense that I believed them. Thank goodness my own friend went through the FACTS with me, and confirmed that I had imagined a lot of my own suffering. That’s OCD. It’s not about “liking” anything. It’s about disliking a thought or feeling so much that it taunts you. NO ONE with OCD “likes” their thoughts. God commands us to cast down imaginations and evaluate our thoughts with his loving lens.

@Keyara Paradox is like a contradiction. Let’s say I hate animal abuse. Ocd will come up with the most garbage evidence to try and prove that I’m somehow an animal abuser who hates animal abuse. Only one can be true, so which one is it? I know I obviously hate animal abuse and therefore I am not an animal abuser. Ocd will try to turn every little frustration I have with my dog into a “gotcha”, but really it’s just an illusion, not evidence. The point is that you obviously hate even the mere thought of hurting a child, so ocd is gonna try and persecute you into thinking you actually like what you hate. The combination of fear and desire are two very contradictory things. A paradox. An object of fear is something you want to extinguish whereas desire is something you want to see flourish. You /know/ very well you’re not a p, but you just really /feel/ like a p and that’s what’s confusing you, right? Feelings are not to be solely depended on for the truth. Intellect comes first. You know the difference between dreams and nightmares, desires and fears. Hope this helps!
