for people with moral ocd

stop triggering people's moral ocd and guilt tripping people who don't farm notes for you

Trying to be any kind of activist with moral ocd is hard. Trying to be the best person I can with my limitations is either ‘not enough’ or ‘excuses’ for people who I share values with or ‘too much’, ‘driving myself mad’ or ‘too judgy’ for people that don’t share my values/or at least not to the same degree. And both drive my ocd to be worse because I want to be the best person I can without making the people around me or myself miserable! No wonder I’m constantly stressed and irritable

(This is aggressive, I just need to let it out) "REBLOG THIS NO MATTER WHAT!!1!1!!!" "REBLOG IF YOU AGREE!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!" FUCK YOU IT'S MY BLOG AND I'M NOT GONNA REBLOG JUST BECAUSE YOU TELL ME TO REBLOG YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS SHITSTAINS. GET OFF YOUR HIGH FUCKING HORSES. YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE JUST BECAUSE YOU TELL PEOPLE TO REBLOG/RETWEET/WHAT-THE-FUCK-EVER IF THEY DISAGREE WITH RUNNING OVER BABIES AND KICKING ENDANGERED ANIMALS. I DON'T NEED TO REBLOG YOUR STUPID POST TO PROVE I'M A DECENT INDIVIDUAL. ACCUSING ME AND MANY OTHERS OF BEING EVIL BIGOTED MONSTERS FOR SCROLLING PAST YOUR OBVIOUS ENGAGEMENT BAIT GETS YOU BLOCKED.

As someone diagnosed with OCD who didn’t receive any actual information about it, this blog single-handedly helped me discover my moral scrupulosity and superstitions. I just wanted to express how grateful I am, since now that I know *what* I face, it’s easier to self-regulate and avoid content that hurts me.

moral ocd culture is "what if i dont actually have moral ocd and am using it as an excuse to be a horrible person and manipulate people into thinking i mean no harm when i actually might what if i do mean harm i dont always care so i cant actually have it- wait a second-"

I feel like I can't not reblog the reblog bait because that would make me a bad person like the reblog bait implies but also I feel like a terrible person for reblogging it because it triggers OCD, is tagging it reblog bait enough to 'fix' that/make me not a bad person for it? I'm strongly suspecting moral OCD for context not that disability is an excuse not to invalidate people with actual OCD though sorry

social media can absolutely be a good way to express awareness on a topic, but i feel like a LOT of people use it as their one and only form of activism, so for them it must be used in an exclusively pure and morally correct way because well, if they don't, that must mean they're bad activists!

I remember the era when people shared these things on messenger and it was "if you don't share it to x people your mother/your father/another close person/you will die" it got me so scared as a kid, who even thought it was a good idea? You didn't even have to think about people with ocd at least thinking about the children you may scare to death would've been enough but no

as someone who's 99% sure they have moral OCD, posts that go "like/reblog if you support xyz" without any threat or further guilt tripping don't personally trigger me, but thanks to this blog i've learnt that those kinds of posts can still be upsetting to others who also have moral OCD, so thank you for helping me learn more about reblog bait and its impact! :)
