“in the Real World people won’t let you wear headphones or earplugs!”

yes they fucking will nobody gives a shit if you’re wearing earplugs.

“in the Real World you’ll never have a silent place to work!”

See point number 1. Also, libraries.

“in the Real World people aren’t going to always accommodate you!”

well maybe not in every life instance but in schools and work environments it’s literally illegal not to provide ADA accommodations so

“in the Real World you’re going to have to work with people you don’t know!”

hoooooo let me tell you right now that professional collaboration and bullshit school group projects don’t even sort of function the same way

“In the Real World you’re just going to have to deal with it!”

i’ve been seeing this post a lot lately:

which means a whole lot of you don’t know the difference between an intrusive thought and an impulsive thought.

intrusive thoughts are a symptom of ocd and many other disorder, they are upsetting and often graphic, they are thoughts you do not want and that scare you, commonly thoughts about doing something violent or about abuse. i suffer from intrusive thoughts, they are triggering and upsetting and yes, dark or about killing people.

an impulse can also be a symptom of a disorder, impulses are not inherently bad and are just your brain telling you to do things with no thought as to why. some can be unpleasant, but they can also be things like “cut all your hair off” or “eat the cardboard”.

please stop saying that intrusive thoughts and impulses are the same thing, you are only adding to the stigma and misunderstanding people with intrusive thoughts face.
