Compulsory skin picking has me looking for my tweezers like a teen looking for a fucking vape pen.

1031: Compulsive evil

PT: 1031: Compulsive evil /end PT

DEFINITION ⦂⠀Someone who identifies with/as the concept of compulsive evil; someone who knows what one is doing, but has what feels like unavoidable urges to commit evil. It isn't done out of necessity, to benefit oneself, but to squash an urge, possibly with the concern it could become larger evil, if not squashed sooner than later.

"You're out late, Mr. Dibbler," he said, politely.

"Ah, Mr. Worde. Times is hard in the hot sausage trade," said Dibbler.

"Can't make both ends meat, eh?" said William. He couldn't have stopped himself for a hundred dollars and a cart load of figs.

I hate that I can't trust my friends when they say it's okay or that they're not mad at me. Its one of the worst parts of OCD how seeking reassurance is so compulsive but does so little to actually alleviate the anxiety longterm. But like since I don't literally die after reassurance-seeking, my brain still recognizes the behavior as something life-preserving. Idk if that makes any fucking sense but it's a vicious cycle

because the point isn’t the tasks, it is to stay in constant motion

I might have to relax my promises to myself, those superstitious announcements of plans that did not, in any sphere broader than the confines of my own mind, matter... Lazy, lazy, lazy: I heard this chorus in my head at most times of the day if I tuned in to that channel, breaking through the static to catch it like you can catch good college radio stations in between the dials, hidden between alt-country and the Jesus station, just peeking through. You’re lazy, you’re lazy, you’re lazy... She doesn’t want to work smarter/not harder, because the point isn’t the tasks, it is to stay in constant motion.
