hmm! super duper interesting how OCD is actually not super heritable, that its pretty directly tied to stressful events, the environment in which you're raised, and just a general feeling of loss of control at a young age. super duper interesting how its closely linked with impulse control disorders, anxiety disorders, and particularly avoidant behaviour as a means of harm reduction. really makes dick's sisyphean dedication to tearing his life apart brick by brick and isolating himself from everyone around him make a tonne of sense

#hes just so consistently like this the way he gets caught in these cycles #not even necessarily 'they would be better off without me' though thats there #but ocd can come with a heap of hypervigilance #and always being prepared and thinking of every single locus #and its just so fucking exhausting #to not just be in a room with a group of people #but scanning to see every possible outcome of every possible interaction in that room #like how could that not take a toll #but also how could you be in a team situation and NOT lead #because no one else is thinking 12d chess the way you are #so yeah bruce probably noticed the obsessive behaviour but didnt see it as a problem #until the impulse control and the oppositional defiance started #probably right around the age of 18 when he would have been getting really frayed and burnt out #hmmmmm #i have ocd
