People on tik Tok rly saying OCD is a blessing for some people ??? and people are like “I have ocd and this joke doesn’t offend me” or “you’re all making a big deal out of nothing” like people don’t understand ocd in the slightest I’m so tired. If they heard ocd for some is the fear of being a pedophile, or stabbing ppl with knives, or any taboo subject at all maybe they’d think differently. But knowing these types of people if they actually heard what ocd really entails they’d probably be judgmental. Because people are jerks.

omg i get ads on games that are genuine games about ‘ocd’ when it’s really just slotting things into gaps and im like if my issues could be solved like that i’d be the happiest girl alive

Yeah :( it makes me so mad! I wish I could be open about my ocd but these same people who wanna throw ocd around like nothing would probably judge me and my themes.

@Mars If they judge you on your themes then that would say so much about them. They can’t claim they have ocd and shame someone who actually suffers from it??

I mean that’s true but that’s completely different from what these people were speaking about ? this was over organizing a fridge

Yes this! I’ve had fears of contamination sooo many times but my house is a hoarders mess. People just don’t get it.

@Mars Yes! I hate cleaning but I also hate a dirty house. And sometimes Ill be bothered when my house gets a bit dirty, but it doesn't interrupt my life.

*us to vent with. (I swear autocorrect is wackier here than everywhere else. I try to leave it as exposures, but that one was the opposite of what I tried to type. Lol)

https://vm.tiktok.com/JNdy8dn/ here’s the link to the video. I know it wasn’t like meant harmfully but it’s still definitely such a pet peeve of mine when people treat ocd like it’s nothing and or a joke. Just really annoys me.

@Mars I really don’t think she meant it in any harmful way, she just used ocd to describe it for a second. I mean Idk life’s too short. I say try to not let it bother you so much. Yes ocd sucks and it’s makes life hell, but at the same time you can’t let people who are unaware bother you. I completely respect your feelings and your thoughts on this, no doubt people have no idea what it’s really like. But don’t let it make you upset, most of the time people mean well.

@person1 I totally get what you mean, I guess it just does get frustrating bc so many people can’t even actually truly be open about their ocd because people would think terribly of them. Same people probably say they’re ocd for things like this. Just gets annoying to me big time.

@Mars Gotcha, I like that we have this app to discuss things like this though. I love having actual discussion about ocd and social aspects! Thanks for sharing the video btw!

@person1 Yeah that’s why I appreciate this app too. It’s good to be able to share things like this to people who do understand.

Plus if they say that they definitely don’t have OCD or they just have “OCS tendencies”. Before I was diagnosed with OCD, my old therapist (who for some reason could not see I have legit OCD) said I had “OCD tendencies” because I’d watching the same tv show or movie over and over again occasionally or listen to the same song over and over again sometimes if it was my current favorites. Those things didn’t distress me but for some reason it got labeled as so

@Evelyn4416 I do believe there is such a thing as ocd tendencies. I do think that is what people are confusing themselves into thinking they actually do have the disorder. Not saying at a few of them have their ocd under control, but these videos seem to show people with tendencies and they confuse it for the real thing.
