i see alot of these posts about being disgusted or neutral about your intrusive thoughts, or about your impulses, and they say "you dont actually WANT to do these things! so youre a good person!" and im here to say its okay to want to do bad things. its okay to want to do something horrible. that still doesnt mean youve done it. that still doesnt mean you dont have self control. you can want to do things and still decide not to do them- and thats a skill that shows strength.
