Did you have a figure in your life that got angry over small details? My mom likes the explain that anger is a spectrum and you can't treat it the same. There's 1(someone just slightly wanted u to do something that they preferred) to 10(never wants to speak to you again) Most every day acts, even fights with a s.o, never go past a 5 or 6 đ€·ââïž idk if that helps you but it brought some relief to me since I'm always perceiving frustration at me as a 10 when it's usually just a 2 or 3 at worst.

Thereâs something called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, I would encourage you to look it up! I experience it. Apparently itâs common in people with ADD/ADHDâ Iâve never been diagnosed with that (although I think I have ADHD, but never want to diagnose myself) anyway, itâs the severe emotional even physical pain from the slightest hint of criticism or rejection like a professor pointing out one mistake you made on a paper, a friend saying they donât want to hang out today but maybe another time, etc. it can definitely feel like youâre just being âover dramaticâ but itâs definitely not your fault you feel that way. And definitely something worth looking into! I hope that was helpful in any way. But know youâre not alone.

Today I've let myself go down a huge rabbit hole regarding this phrase and it's stressing me out. Sometimes, yes, it is that deep. But other times, it really isn't. I keep finding myself torn between these two ideals. I've been seeing all these videos regarding the rise of anti-intellectualism and the anti-woke mob, all that. These videos make me extremely worried about cancel culture and moral guilt, and they had me rethinking every morally wrong, gross, questionable thing or thought I ever had. I saw many comments saying that yes everything is that deep and it feels like my mind is on constant security and asking myself "what would the internet think about the things I've thought of or may have done?" On one hand, I feel like if I say "it's not that deep", I feel like a hypocrite or a bad person or an idiot. But on the other hand if I say "it is that deep", my OCD begins to spiral and analyze everything about myself. It's not healthy to overanalyze everything but it's also not healthy to ignore bad things. It's very stressful Does anyone relate to this?

So recently i had really obsessive thoughts about something and once i got over it i kept bringing back more stuff to make myself feel like a bad person. Why am i doing this? Why do i need to look for something else to burden someone with once they have forgiven me

hi! i often fear im going to lose my job because i made a âmistakeâ (not really) that my manager caught and is waiting to tell me about or i fear im going to be kicked off the roster of a team im on for small mistakes that everyone makes. this often compels me to ask those people if i did good or not and gauge their reactions to see if theyre going to remove me and i fall into a cycle of asking and asking. how do you guys deal with these feelings / compulsions? when im flaring i often just spend as much time around these people as possible to gather âevidenceâ of their opinion on me, but then i get nervous that they hate me for being clingy. i also abandon other duties / tasks so i can spend time with these people to make sure they like me. what do you guys do? anyone else experience the sentiment?
