I’m researching this in my free time but I’ve never studied philosophy and I’m having a bit of trouble with understanding Strawson’s reactive attitudes. I kind of got it but then I saw an article saying Robert Alton Harris disproved it or smth because the reactive attitudes should be ahistorical? Idk
Is being hyper fixated on a specific show/ media a trait of OCD? The way I get kind of reminds me of the obsession part of OCD but idk enough about it to know if it’s linked. Maybe I’m just a nerd haha
I just finished it what the actual hell. I put it off for so long because I knew Tara died and I thought I’d be prepared but no. There’s not even a side I’m on, I understand Willow to the point it hurts so I can’t even be mad when she was so horrible to Buffy. Jesus Christ hoping for sunshine and rainbows in s7 (I already know the majority of the plot but pls don’t spoil)
I’ve had it at a low level for ages and idk if this is part of it but I feel like whenever I make progress and I feel like I’m getting better that I’ve just been lying to myself the entire time and I never actually had it. It’s the same with my depression and ik it’s linked to a bad friendship where someone was encouraging me to have the worst mental health imaginable and exaggerate everything I have but it’s so insanely tiring. And then whenever I do have a bad episode I want nothing more than it to go away. And it’s got the point where I start getting defensive when my therapist says that something I do isn’t ocd and I start actively trying to do it again
In media I always see it depicted like they’re worried about getting sick, but for me it’s like everything’s covered in vomit or something. Like touching it won’t kill me, but there’s still something about it that sees gross/ potentially harmful. Idk if this is just my experience I don’t think my OCD is that bad, but it might also be because I have doctor parents who started exposure therapy pretty young once they realised I was weird about germs. I can go on the tube and stuff and even hold on if I need to, but the rest of the day I’m aware that my hand/ whatever body part/ clothing is contaminated.
