#text#it irks me the same way the 'organised my bookshelf today haha im so ocd' irks me#latenight grumpyposting#bc that's the way i would see 'letting them win' be#like in my experience an intrusive thought might be like 'oh noes you could accidentally filet yourself like a fish with that knife!'#*cue graphic mental image of what itd be like if that happened#where the brains misaimed goal is to avoid the dangerous situation (holding the knife and hurting myself with it)#and the thought winning is like me not using any sharp objects bc i dont want to be mentally bombarded with imagined gore#anyways understanders understand whatevs goodnight
