It’s so annoying. These types of ignorant people think that ocd is a “perfectionist” medical illness when in reality it’s just your mind telling you to do certain things religiously or something might “happen”. These types of people never understand
I've gotten that quite a few times, especially in school. People who say things like that usually have very little to no education about the disorder and how it effects people
Real omgg i hate when people say that like its not quirky or cute its annoying to have, and if your gonna say you have OCD then atleast say it correct💀🤦🏽♀️
I think I've grown used to the way people respond to OCD because I've heard it so many times, but it's still frustrating when it gets through my mental barriers. I think my biggest issue with talking about OCD is that nobody takes it seriously. I have many conditions and it's one of the few that's nearly managed to kill me - via my intrusive thoughts leading to suicidal ones
