Social anxiety! Can someone help me? :(

[AnnaT]

Does it seem like I'm lying and showing off on Facebook?

I posted photos of myself as a little girl on Facebook and wrote "Who remembers me as a little girl when my friend used to bring me to the store or I would sneak outside?" but I wrote a comment to someone saying "Actually, I don't remember being in the store or sneaking outside, but that's what so many people told me" 

 

Also, does it seem like I was showing off when I posted pictures of me as a little girl in a Facebook group. That group is for sharing memories!

Hi Anna,

I think that what you're doing here is a very common thing that people with OCD do. They ask themselves and obsess about whether they are being 100% honest and this results in a lot of anxiety. It doesn't really matter if you're being honest or not about a photo on Facebook, this isn't something other people really worry about at all. So rather than trying to figure out if you're being honest or not, try to accept that this worry is something that comes from OCD and try your best to move on. I hope this helps a little.
