taurean Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It doesn't, does it? But OCD might have you believe so. Because when it is peddling its lies, falsehoods, and exaggerations, it is just like trying to prove 2+ 2 does equal 5. But remember, it has no evidence - it sounds terribly convincing, ( after all it is using the normal channels of communication in our brain) but it deals in fabrications and falsehoods. We don't have to believe them - sadly, we get fooled - because it seems real - and choose to believe them So next time it is trying to force an OCD intrusion meaning on you just remember - 2 + 2 never has, and never will, equal five Link to comment
