Im watching it now and you know the characters lester and jeff? Well how they treat women has been making me feel super uncomfortable and how the show makes light of sexual assualt and sexual invasive things on the show makes me not want to watch the show even though it is a good distraction from life. And i love shows made a bit earlier.. idk if my ocd is pushing this or its strong morals but would love some advice. Sorry if you weren’t expecting that from this post 😅 if you dont have anything to say on it thats fine too.

Well, so the point of Jeff and Lester I think is that they are creepy. I didn’t find that the show didn’t really glorify their bad behavior, it was more of an “ew” factor. Played for laughs but it’s clear that they’re losers who have no idea how to be in women’s’ good graces. I’ve definitely had it before where something I watch makes me disproportionately uncomfortable though. It happens! For example, when Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King came out in theaters, it actually sent me on a month long obsessive episode because of the scene at the beginning where Sméagol kills his Brother to get the ring. It’s not even graphic, it’s just a little tense but it got my mind thinking “oh man what if I killed someone like that?” And it just snowballed and got out of proportion from there. Definitely you don’t have to watch anything if it’s making you uncomfortable, but on the other hand, it’s possible that you have found a good Exposure method for your own personal ERP process!

Also wanted to add that if the uncomfortableness is causing you to ruminate or do any kind of compulsion, it’s probably fueled by OCD. Typically if people just aren’t comfortable with a show’s content they just turn it off/leave the theater and don’t think much more of it.

Thank you for this respone. I honestly really am scared that me thinking things are my morals and having a high morality will cause me to not be able to enjoy life and be insufferable to others. I was watching another show and kept thinking about Chuck and the gang but was like nah i cant because of the sexual jokes idk. Sometimes i feel guilty of saying that ill make something into an exposure because I feel like it’ll just be me making an excuse to watch something i know goes aganist my morals. Ocd can be ao confusing sometimes. I’ve started watching it again after your messages though. Taking the risk cause who knows it may help my ocd so i should try. Thanks so much for this. And out of curiosity whos your fav character?

@Coul.C I can relate to that a lot. I’m a fairly religious person and have had a lot of scrupulosity/religion based OCD. I have had similar experiences where I’m struggling because I really like something, but I feel like one little part of it makes it bad or against my values so I shouldn’t watch it because it will poison my mind or something, and then I feel like I’m justifying watching something bad. It’s pretty rough but hang in there. And no problem going slow and steady with your exposures. You got this! Take care.

@cheyras Oh and favorite character? Probably Morgan Grimes. He reminded me a lot of one of my friends.

Criminal shows/Horror movies
does anyone else get really triggered when watching stuff to do with serial killers, p3dos, r@pists etc. I literally start to compare myself and check to see if i share any qualities with them. Ita really scary cause i really like this show Criminal minds, and i absolutely adore the characters, but its hard watching something i like cause of all the g0re and stuff. Not to mention all the thoughts that are convincing me i like the horrible stuff. Someone tell me if tou relate..
