imagining a world where "letting the intrusive thoughts win" was understood to mean like, giving in to avoidant behaviours bc you don't want to be around your ocd triggers, instead of the. how it is

#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
