j00 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Am I a bad person for having intentionally bad thoughts? Can we control what we think sometimes as well? Because it feels like at times I can’t, and then when I have a thought that’s intentional it freaks me out and I have really, really bad ones. Edited June 10, 2020 by j00 Link to comment
Imhotep Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Often, the act of trying to control thoughts brings up more of the thoughts we don't want. It also depends how you react to them. If you're anxious or upset about them, then they're intrusive and not worth engaging with. I've had the most horrendous thoughts in the past and recently, and I know it's nothing to do with me. Also the thoughts are so bad because they are the direct opposite of who you are. Sadly you can't control what pops into your head, but you can control what you do after. Link to comment
