Hey there! They may think that, they may not. Tbh it doesn’t matter! If you truly believe hurting children is wrong, then even if someone thinks you’re overcompensating, your core values are what really matters! If you didn’t comment anything, people might think you don’t care. And if you do, people might think you’re overcompensating. People will always view things in different ways, but what matters is that it is not TRUTH. I believe hurting children in that way is horrifying. If I believe this deep in my heart, and some random person says I’m overcompensating for expressing that, who are they to say that? They could be overcompensating themselves! Sorry for the long paragraph, but the point I’m trying to make is it truly doesn’t matter what people think. If people who struggled with POCD expressed their thoughts and feelings, the regular person who is uneducated on POCD would say the same thing. You know your core values, don’t let OCD doubt you on that or let other people make you doubt that. Hope that helps a bit!

omg thank you so much you just helped me so much 😭🖤 you’re right. whether or not people think i’m overcompensating and think i’m bad, what matters is my actual values and my morals. and i love the mindset of “maybe they will think this maybe they will think that but it doesn’t matter because it’s not true”. thank you so much 😭🖤 i definitely need to stop caring about what others THINK i am and just care more about what i KNOW i’m not! and your message was not long at all you’re so kind! bless your heart <3

all my life i always worry about my intentions and if someone thinks something wrong of me or just makes wrong assumptions about me or misinterprets something i said or gets the wrong idea. and i need to stop doing that because no matter what people think, what matters is my actual true intentions and true character.

i’ve been having this theme pop up recently where if I see people either criticize or be a hater and spread misinformation or seeing old controversies about my current interests/hyper-fixations i find myself having a crazy anxiety attack about if it’s “morally okay” to be interested in my interests anymore. i feel really singled out and like im doing something wrong because im watching a youtuber or listening to a specific musical group. in all of these specific situations the people involved have talked about the situations and have changed accordingly but seeing it makes me feel like i shouldn’t be allowed to like my favorite things. to be clear none of these things are dramatically evil or bad. it’s either misinformation/uneducated people influencing someone opinion and then they learn and change. it just makes me feel like im not allowed to like my favorite things anymore because of people criticizing it??? if that makes sense??? also this is a little off topic but also not really because i’m 99.99% sure im autistic because of MANY things but with this specifically i have very strong interests and i feel very deep feelings about them and any and all criticism or hateful comments towards my favorite things trigger me deeply and make my ocd act up and make me feel uncomfortable and uncertain and anxious and it causes physical discomfort to me. i really don’t know how to calm myself down about this specific theme it’s brand new and makes me feel really anxious. not trying to look for reassurance but does anyone else understand what i mean??? does anyone have any advice on how to not give into the negative comments??? any suggestions on how to ease this specific anxiety???

Youtubers are constantly getting accused of doing p*dophilic activity and its making me think my real events are as bad or as worse as them... Ive vented a lot to a lot of people in the PM's about my OCD... some of them younger (minors)... because I wanted reassurance from everyone and anyone... but this situation triggers me the most because I was venting about my 18+ HOCD situations... In an HOCD support group I was in, I vented to 2 minors in the PM's about my 18+ HOCD situations... The leader of the support group (that i vented to) was 17... I was 19 at the time... the other minor i vented to was younger (14-15)... the younger one told me she was uncomfortable when i vented to her in the PM's twice... i stopped and blocked her after she told me the second time... i kept asking the leader of the support group for reassurance for my 18+ HOCD situations for months because she kept giving me reassurance... i thought she was cute but didnt pursue her because of my age... i dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a groomer in any way... I keep getting this gut feeling in my stomach that i "flirted" with the younger one that I vented to, who i blocked after she told me twice she was uncomfortable about me venting about my 18+ hocd situations... i didnt ever vent to them for malicious intent... I was trying to get reassurance for my hocd... Plus my pocd keeps saying I cant have any opinions online because of my pocd and real events ocd situations and that Im not a good person so I cant say anything online... Also i keep getting intrusive thoughts of people labelling me as a P and a MAP in the future because of these pocd real events... And i keep getting intrusive thoughts of being outcasted and "cancelled" online when someone "exposes" me for my POCD and real events OCD...
