Yes! If you think about something too much, you are giving the thought too much unnecessary meaning--which might make you "feel" (instrusive feeling) like you might end up acting on it. This can be brought upon by fear as well

I used to worry about it too and then found out it is common and a lot of people with OCD deal with feeling as though they are going to actually “act” on their thought or feeling. You’re not.

Can harm ocd give you thoughts like when you’re in front of a trigger “why don’t you do it” and sometimes I either freeze don’t know what to do with myself and then an urge to throw the item away. Is this something else? And sometimes I get thoughts like “what if I’m lying to myself” and “do you think you’re lying to yourself”

I FUCKING HATE THIS DISORDER - I figured out that my saliva hyperawareness is what triggered my mind to have the oral sex intrusive thoughts, and now my OCD is making me think it’s not an intrusive thought, my question is - can OCD do that? Can it take one of your intrusive thoughts and make you think it isn’t an intrusive thought after you’ve identified the trigger??
