Bugging out

Unusual Beliefs

I have this weird persistent ocd-like compulsion to stare at people out of the corner of my eye, usually in the most inappropriate place

I think a lot of people notice but think Im just kinda sketchy or shifty, but it really bothers me and its exhausting to fight the compulsion.

I dont wanna stare at dudes and chicks asses in my peripheral vision like a creep and sht all the time maaaaaaan this sucks

that sounds annoying yea… maybe you should try to stop doing it when you suddenly notice you doing it… maybe after a while you won’t feel that you have a to do it anymore…

Thanks, I do, but like I said its exhausting. Keep in mind its been like this since my first psychotic break, so its been over 3 years of this

I used to be really really paranoid about it, thought people would think Im a weirdo so I became a shutin

Im over it now mostly except some days I feel gross. I dont wanna make people uncomfortable

yea i also feel like i make people uncomfortable. when people are around me i tend to stare through them and i think they find it weird that i stare the whole time. But it always takes a while to notice it and then it’s already weird =p

Bah!

We’re all wonderfully weird in our own ways. I wouldn’t want it to be any other way.

When I was in the psych hospital years ago I told the doctor that I had this compulsion to stare at women’s butts and it bothered me cos I didn’t want to hurt anyone. He acted like it was no big deal but I hated it. It eventually went away. It may have been an ocd thing. Idk

Yeah my doc brushed it off too but it really bothers me. Glad to hear it went away tho! There is hope

I wonder why? If it’s something that upsets a person why wouldn’t a doctor listen or at least try to say ‘hey. It’s an ocd thing let’s work on some coping skills’?
