Wanting to understand why pedophiles are the way they are does not prove or disprove anything. I don't think you would accuse anyone else who had that curiosity of being one themselves. It's possible that your mind has convived you that you are the worst possible thing, a pedophile, which is why you don't feel as much disgust. Right now, you believe yourself to be one, so you may not want to feel as much strong emotion. I think you should try to recognize when you're attempting to analyze your emotions. Instead of letting yourself think "I should be more angry" and "Why am I not more upset", attempt to tell yourself there is no "correct" way to feel emotions. "I am feeling what I feel and that's okay" and move on. No emotional or thought checking. I hope this helps.
Yeah thank you ! I have to work more on that
Yes. Before POCD I hated pedos. I still do but not nearly as much as I did. I think it’s because we feel like we are one and hating them makes us feel worse about ourselves even tho we are not one at all. Sometimes I see stuff on the news and I’m like of that’s not that bad but it is horrible and I know it’s horrible. OCD is weird
This is exactly that ! When I say those things are horrible, ocd makes me feel an hypocrite, because maybe like you said we feel like one of them !
@abcd33 Yeah that’s what I believe atleast. I have defended sex offenders in my head ever since I got POCD even tho what they did was horrible and they have done evil things. For some reason now that I have POCD its like I want to stick up for them for some reason
Because of my POCD I've developed empathy for pedophiles. They didn't ask for their thoughts and feelings either. As long as they don't act on them, I have no problem with them Child molesters/rapists on the other hand definitely deserve a lot of prison time. I hope they get help though. They're still human and besides it will make kids safer. I don't really hate them, if for no other reason than I'm more concerned with the survivors.
Can POCD make you feel like you don’t know why sexually abusing children is wrong, just that you’re afraid of becoming a child abuser for whatever reason? I’m constantly struggling to figure out why pedophilia doesn’t make me disgusted or angry enough. I feel like I’m actually a pedophile who doesn’t know it yet or is in denial. I know I shouldn’t ruminate but I feel like there’s some truth to the thing I’m constantly obsessing over.
Help me, POCD gets triggered when I hear news or words associated with it. Recently, I saw a news where in a guy raped an 8 year old month baby. And because of curiosity and the disbelief on how .. idk people DO THAT to children, it made me sad and disgusted but also curious? How do they make their genitals fit? Images came up in my head and it disgusts me but why do i feel like i need to see or my brain tells me i have to visuals just for me to understand or stop being curious about it? Even with kiddie porn, i never want to see one bc those shit are supposed to be STOPPED, :( i love children, i love my baby cousins, it makes me sad there are people exploiting their innocence but my curiosity is making me overthink. it makes me think somehow, i do wanna see? Maybe i actually do? Out of curiousity? Like i dont want to google it because its wrong and i dont wanan give them more audiences but its just really, how? How do they do that? Where do they get the children? Are there ways we can also save them from that environment? I dont know. Imm so scared. I feel so wrong and bad for being curious and wanting to see but also torn because i also dont wanna see, i just want those perverts to burn in hell. But what if im one of them? Im a pervert? Its just so controversial :( someone please help i feel like a mean person and im horrible
This Pocd has really made me think deeply throughout my life, how actual pedophiles must feel. I have a lot more compassion for NON ACTING pedophiles. All these disgusting and worry some thoughts that I deem as disgusting, that I over think, well pedophiles must get loads and loads of thoughts about how gross people would think they are etc, I feel sorry for non acting pedophiles. I'm ganna do a video on my YouTube channel about what I think about pedophiles. Why I don't judge non acting pedophiles, and why I judge acting ones. Think it will make for an interesting video.
