OCD or something

Post Reply New Topic

I feel unable to type sometimes, because I feel that I might hurt emotionally vulnerable people.
I feel as though I might hurt people if I type what I'm feeling and it is shared by them in some way or other.
I feel responsible for my own mind and I feel as though I must protect other people from what I might say.
This is irrational, and I need an outlet for my emotions.
I need to say something sometimes but I just cannot bring myself to say it out of fear of causing problems.
I need to stop fearing myself and understand that people won't be affected by what I type.

Admirable. I don't really care about people that much.

Not OCD. Insecurity and low self worth.

There are some OCD type problems.

You surely have the right to express your emotions, keeping them kept inside might make you ill (as it usually happens to me). You can also keep a diary, or a blog or some other means of expressing yourself. When you share your problems/anxieties some other people might benefit if they recognize themselves in your problems - they might feel less alone, so nothing wrong with that!
