from your own mind. sometimes i feel they are planted in my head by someone else but that’s a delusion.

Its just our own brain doing weird unwanted stuff.
You really should get into CBT,
If you don’t trust a therapist, do a book,
Montazuma recommend “Mind Over Mood” just the other day.

The unconscious

It doesn’t matter.
What matters is finding a solution for intrusive thoughts.

They come from your worst fears and insecurities.

I trained my brain and mind in choosing thoughts I think, in myself
I like to think they come from negative energies in the world. Manifesting itself as an intrusive thought to create even more negative energy.
I know we must find a solution to intrusive thoughts. Maybe relaxing and having fun.
What about the spider monkeys that live in a web of interstellar frequencies?
The story of what, where, when why, how, known, unknown, its all a overactive imaginary story in your head. The formula for determining between what is real and is unreal is there is no formula, that being the solution.
You need to simply decide what is real on your own,
Like people say oh that red car is cool or etc,
Basics not a huge formula to find out what is real again.
its very strong mental conviction, and how you personally come to terms with having them.
What are you talking about??

I dont really have them, but boredom makes me start judging how other ppl see me
they come from anxiety, or fear, when your brain feels this emotion without any way of explaining it or any precipitating event it starts to attach the anxiety to ideas and feelings, and then you have intrusive thought. basically a form of neurosis. At least i believe this is where my intrusive thoughts originate from. they are an obsessive compulsive symptom btw, meaning they can be exacerbated by serotonin antagonism, an action which is common in the atypical antipsychotics to a significant extent.
they are your thoughts @anon20318121, remember, even neurotypicals suffer from intrusive thoughts, though possibly not as severely and frequently as those with ocd and sz do. also, for many there is a thin line between intrusive thought and other positive symptoms like delusion and hallucination. hallucinations could be called intrusive images for example. thought disorder symptoms like perseveration and pressured speech or racing thoughts and thought insertion could also be explained as being driven or caused by intrusive thoughts.
