something about ragatha since that post has been a hit is the fact that i do really think like 70%+ of her day is just.... filled with compulsions

like. people pleasing doesnt necessarily have to come from ocd but w the way i read her its related. that she is very obsessed with people liking her and will do as many Nice things as she can reasonably do or else theyre gonna HATE her. that shes concerned abt their safety so shes gonna keep an eye on anyone she can because what if smth bad happens and its too much for them to handle???

and i think these two obsessions are also interconnected (i need people to like me, i need people to be safe, if im around people i can make sure theyre ok, if they like me i can keep them safe, if theyre alive then i can make sure they dont hate me, if they dont hate me then i can keep them from abstracting, etc) (add some moral ocd in there too she feels like she has that. and more!)

and w reassurance seeking? ragatha is absolutely like. notttttt good at avoiding it. and bc cast members seem to be a little put off by the way she ALREADY checks in on them i geeet the feeling that the way she seeks reassurance is like. she knows how to covertly seek reassurance

#tadc #ssure ill put that in the tag. why not i need to be a little more confident #anyway idk how much ppl here know abt ocd #but a lot of this is informed by my own exp #like reassurance seeking is not healthy wrt ocd btw #it IS a compulsion #and bc ragatha absolutely doesnt know she has this. it doesnt occur to her that anything she is doing is unhealthy #it just... feels logical #bc thats ocds dastardly trick #anyway i feel like im making too many posts abt this but the fact that the tags of the other post have been pretty positive #makes me esp wanna talk abt it HAHA #and on some level as a professional ocd haver seeing ppl be receptive to the concept makes me wanna just talk abt ocd more #bc it is very complicated far more than it is offten presented as #like dont even get me started on ragathas themes #or the fact that i actually hc pomni as having ocd too. just in a completely different direction
