you should actually question yourself and your thoughts and your beliefs sometimes. it's good for you. likewise, sometimes your shame is justified and healthy. sometimes you need to change the way you think or the actions you take because of your thoughts. sometimes you will feel guilty and that is because you were in the wrong. shame and guilt are not always manipulative. self-questioning and thinking about things is not always compulsive. interrogating your thoughts is a fundamental aspect of learning new things, correcting incorrect beliefs, mitigating future harm. you are not immune to criticism because "thoughtcrime" or "moral police." some beliefs are wrong. some thoughts are harmful. your worldview is lacking if you refuse to question yourself and admit to yourself when something you've done or thought is wrong or bad or harmful.

preemptively: this post is not about intrusive thoughts or ocd. this post does not mention intrusive thoughts. this post does not mention compulsions. when it comes to ocd the best way to deal with intrusive thoughts is generally to acknowledge them and not interrogate them. this post is not about intrusive thoughts, though. the next person to use ocd to defend being shitty is getting put in the meat grinder. get out of my house

#text #discourse #for example: bigotry does not only exist as external actions. it also exists internally in preconceived notions and stereotypes #and part of being a good ally or a good activist or whatever is to think through those things with your brain so you stop for instance #doing a microaggression or saying shitty things accidentally or WHATEVER. you have to think about things you have to use your brain #and think about things sometimes i promise you'll be okay #OKAY IM DONE NOW. NO MORE OF THIS. FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. PROMMY.
