this post is absolutely going to get flagged with a mature label, and i donāt care because somebody needs to say this.
you all need to learn the difference between impulsive thoughts and intrusive thoughts!!!!
iām so tired of hearing people use the term incorrectly and saying ālet the intrusive thoughts win!ā
impulsive thoughts or harmless thoughts that you want to act on. they are strong urges that come to your head very quickly and while they might not necessarily be good choices, no harm comes from them.
āi should cut my hair and dye it neon green.ā
āi should write ļæ¼smutty fanfiction about a hot character i like.ā
āi should go by 3 scoops of ice cream because i suddenly gotten an urge for ice cream 20 seconds ago.ā
intrusive thoughts are harmful. they intrude into your mind, particularly if youāre a neurodivergent person, and are thoughts that you donāt want to have about harmful, traumatic things (ie p*doph*lia, incest, self-harm, SA, etc.) that you would never want to do; they can often disgust you.
āiām babysitting and i could hypothetically kidnap this kid.ā
āiām in the kitchen cutting food - i could kill someone i love with this knife.ā
āiām in the train station. i could push somebody onto the tracks or down the stairwell.ā
i have had intrusive thoughts so bad that i threw up out of disgust. i know i am not the only one. it makes me so frustrated when people say intrusive when they mean impulsive so now that you know, please correct your vocabulary. please stop saying ālet the intrusive thoughts win uwu š„°ā when youāre just talking about drawing sexy fanart.
and for anyone else out there who suffers really bad intrusive thoughts sometimes - they do not make you a bad person; they are out of your control. you recognize that they are bad, you do not act on them, and that means you are a good person.
