When it comes to my work, I'm hypersensitive/vigilant to making mistakes and when I get constructive criticism i initially take it well, and then spend hours or days with intrusive bad thoughts about my mistakes or what people think. I've found my belief in what people think or say about me is all determined by my reaction, and if I react in a healthy way it helps my further thought process. Hope it helps!
I agree man, thank you for your input it is appreciated
oh god yeah, not sure if it’s bc of my ocd but i tend to take criticism way too personally and a good reason as to why i don’t like showing what i create to people anymore is simply because i’ve grown to be scared of not only their criticism, but their reaction and what they must be thinking. so if someone responds to my work as “i like it!” i’ll overanalyse this and think “they told someone else that they loved their art, and because they only said they ‘like’ mine, it must be terrible”. i recently get horribly embarrassed when showing people what i create and scared of the criticism
I start to believe insults and criticism and it drives me absolutely crazy! I wish I didn’t have to ruminate on things continuously ?
Me! Currently working on not taking it personally but it’s hard!
Yes me too!
@ApparentlyitsOCD What are you doing to not take it personally? :)
Yesss like how do I not take things personally
Does anyone else have issues with anger or are overly sensitive? I kinda have both and they drive each other. Cause I’m sensitive to what people say and do I get angry at them or just really sad.
Is it just me or does anyone get mad really easily. Idk I’ve always had that problem since a kid, where I could take a joke or be laughed at because I would constant think about the humiliation and it would anger me. I would try to fight the anger when made fun of but I can’t help it. I don’t understand what’s wrong with me.
Anyone else have ocd around pleasing ppl? I’m a huge ppl pleaser and will overanalyze conversations like crazy if I thought I hurt someone’s feelings or said something off
