“Hey, sorry to bother you. But I just overheard that guy in the red shirt (pointing at my friend who was across the gym) saying some extremely crass stuff about you in the locker room. It was really sexual and graphic, basically talking about ripping off your purple spandex and violating you in front of everyone. I couldn’t just listen and not tell you because you deserve to know what certain people are really like.”

Listing to this I was furious. This guy had obviously seen my friend and the girl talking in the gym (she approached him) and gotten jealous because he wanted to get with her. So he made up this lie to throw him under the bus. I know it was a lie because 1) I was just in the locker room and nothing of the sort was said and 2) the dude he was lying about was actually a really nice, respectful guy.

So he finished up his tall tale and before the girl could respond I scoffed really loud and said:

“She knows you’re lying just to try to get in her pants. That guy would never say those kinds of things about her because she’s his sister, you moron.”

The look on LT’s face was priceless. He went pale and stammered something about how he must have gotten the guy mixed up. But the girl (who had caught on and was playing along) pointed out how he had been very clear about pointing her “brother” out. So LT shifted his story again and said he must have gotten the girl he was talking about mixed up. So I pointed out that she was the only girl wearing purple spandex.

you never know if an intrusive thought will pass for just a minute or it will have a 4-month stay in your head.

you know your fears are irrational but yet you don’t because they just feel too real.

feeling guilty when you get a disgusting thought even though you know it’s out of your control but you feel like you’ll be an awful person if you don’t feel guilt over letting something so awful in your head.

being scared of being scared.

feeling like you won’t be able to go on with your life normally after a certain thought.

wanting to speak to someone but yet feeling too ashamed to speak up or you know that the fear is too idiotic.

when people think that OCD is just being tidy and washing your hands often.

feeling scared when you don’t feel scared over something you’re usually supposed to be horrified by.

every episode usually has one main thought that bothers you but other thoughts might occur too.

being told that you’re too smart to have such irrational fears. like, i know but i can’t help it.

it can be triggered by something most people would just pass by.

feeling like you’re sharing a body with something/someone that’s not you.
