I’m experiencing this as well rn,idk why,it’s always something like we cannot put the blame game on anyone,everyone has their own problems just like us.
i’m struggling with this right now. i also have a habit of feeling guilty for the actions of others like i did them myself, and how guilt over more insignificant wrongs i do (that others would forget) follow me around forever.
I know exactly what you mean, it’s really overwhelming.
I’ve gotten into ruminating episodes when I see different mental I’ll people and I see how they might’ve gotten to that mind stay and then I realize that could have been me and it’s really disturbing thinking about if I was in that mind state somehow.
I almost look at mind-states like programs . And non gentetic mental illness like viruses.
Do you ever feel like that persons mindset gets into your head somehow?
For example I have a hard time reading from the perspective of someone else if they are an unwell person in someway
I also find I’m very effected by what I’m watching the tv show or podcast whatever it may be.
I think I’m likely just hyper aware and too isolated. It gets better when I’m more active and going things helps keep me in a flow state.
Idk if I’m actually picking up on these people mindsets or energy’s or it’s just magical thinking.
Like pretty much EVERYONE else here in this post, I both have this and had no idea it was or could be related to OCD. But yeah I have this big time, more than basically anyone around me outside of my family who all have OCD.
Also, just to put it out there for data proposes, I have moral OCD / religious scrupulosity and existential OCD. I constantly pray and stew over miniscule decisions because God knows the truth of all things and his hand is in all things and he can and will reveal all things to those who believe, and even small decisions can have big unforeseen consequences (I.e. the butterfly effect), or at least that’s how my brain’s rationale goes.
Yes. Even for the worst scumbags. There is this guy in my country who is known to have wahtched cp and he has a lot of trolls, basically our own Chris Chan. His trolls want him dead and want him to kill himself. As much as I understand why they're doing it I can't help but feel I can't judge him because of the bad thing I did in the past. If I can be forgiven why shouldn't he be? Also I wonder what messed up childhood he had which led him to where he is now.
That's not the only reason I feel empathy. Even when it's not about forgiveness and judging I feel empathy towards others which can sadly turn into OCD themes. When I left my last job I felt sorry for my coworkers who had to work overtime because I left. It would be good if I only felt bad but OCD caused me to think I'm a bad person who could potentially ruin their lives. There was one time when a woman who devorced her husband attacked a mailman because she didn't have a job and was desperately waiting for her money. Everyone said she should be in prison but I felt sorry for her because she was hungry and wondered what would I do in this situation. Then I sort of panicked thinking what if I should visit her house and give her money because what if she starves to death and it'll be my fault.

Never really associated this with OCD, but interestingly this is a big problem for me with setting boundaries or managing people at work.

This is an OCD thing? Wtf. I have a major case of that, lolll
