I’ve heard some people say wanting to tell you friends and family everything you’ve done or thought is a compulsion. But I really feel like I’m not being honest with them if I don’t?

OCD brains think black and white. You’re not dishonest if you don’t tell them. It could be beneficial not to tell for your treatment

I feel this to! I feel bad having such wonderful friends and family and like I owe them something like a confession because they don’t know “the real me”.

I’m going through this right now as well. I made some mistakes and now I feel like confessing every little detail about it and every thought I was having at the time. Really trying to not confess and see if it goes away.
