sometimes i think really bad thoughts and i get very scared that i might internally be a bad person? idk if this makes sense but sometimes my thoughts can be super dark and awful towards myself and i worry me as a person might actually reflect these thoughts. of course i would never act on any of these things i think about but the fact i’m general that i think some of these things is enough to freak me out. sorry this definitely doesn’t make any sense i just wanted to tell someone :) ty
hello. i’m sorry it took me so long to respond to this.
i have these kinds of thoughts too. horrible words will pop into my head, and i will often physically shake myself and say aloud “stop it” to try to get them to leave my head. i do not choose to have these thoughts, and neither, i think, do you.
if you ask people what makes a person good or bad, you will get many different answers. my answer is that it is our actions and our choices that define who we are.
the thoughts we think on purpose are our actions. the thoughts we have no control over, the ones that pop into our head, the ones that distress us, are not actions.
these thoughts do not make you a bad person.
