Do you consider this statement to be true: "If more people actually cared enough to do the right thing, I would not be burdened with having to be hypervigilant about my own morality to avoid being like them." ?

Yes, and I have been told I probably have issues with hypermorality.

Asking both for me, and also to examine some phenomenae I've noticed.

Hey! Just curious if you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to hear more about hypermorality. I’ve never heard that term before you used it, but it might fit me, so I’m curious how it manifests.

I have a ironcast, strict internal sense of Right and Wrong. I recognise my own rules and no others. No authority on the universe could make me respect rules that go against my own.

Some things feel inherently Right and some feel Wrong, I can't explain why, it's just an internal sense.

It also comes with this lovely delusion that I'm always Right.

Anyway when you hear abt autistic 'black and white thinking' 'disliking unfair things / injustice' its often prob hypermorality

How do you even explain hypermorality

[bodhimcbodeface]

Okay this may seem obvious (as most mental illness tips are once you put them into words) but I’ve realized this recently and it’s made a difference for my hypermoral OCD.

I’ve had this problem for YEARS AND YEARS where I have to examine any morally gray situations in fiction from all angles to determine exactly what went wrong, and if the characters made the best choice they could have with what they were given, and what the actual Correct Choice would have been. My brain convinced me that if I didn’t know the right choice, that would make me just as bad as these fictional people in fictional situations who made the wrong one. If there’s any chance that I would have ended up killing a guy in that situation then I might as well have actually killed a guy.

But of course the thing is that for a lot of these stories, the entire point is to make it an exercise in empathy! It’s to make you say “I don’t know what I would do in those circumstances and I hope and pray I never have to find out.” If instead you just determine how you could have made it out of there with clean hands, then you’re judging yourself as superior to these characters, which is neither the intent of the story nor a super rad thing to do morally!

Idk, for me the idea that it is actually the Morally Right thing to say you don’t know has been really really helpful.

icons for when you and the squad are talking about your extended trauma of therapists not doing their fucking job and actually just gaslighting you for two decades instead of getting you diagnosed and treatment for your obsessions & compulsions

i don’t think i ever really explained the colors so here goes:

the greenish color at the top & bottom is a softer version of the teal on the OCD support ribbon

the white & black are softer whites & blacks to represent black and white thinking, and because white is used in western societies to symbolize perfection, cleanliness, and purity

yellow bc it’s used to signify warnings & also because i actually actively avoid anything that’s bright yellow

blue because it’s a calming color
