I remember suffering from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and intrusive thoughts that caused severe anxiety and distress. I feared these thoughts would worsen my depression and worried, What will people think if they know I have these thoughts inside my mind I relied heavily on external validation. One day, I decided to face the thoughts. At first, it was hard, but I reminded myself, My thoughts can't stop me from being happy. Even if the worst thought comes true, I will do anything to make myself happy. I accepted those thoughts without fearing them and focused on my hobbies. Eventually, they stopped disturbing me, and I realized thoughts are naturalthey come and go. My goal should be to accept them, not eliminate them, and prevent them from controlling my life. I also learned that real respect is self-respect. People will always judge me based on their own beliefs, shaped by their family upbringing, culture and personal experiences. It’s important to build confidence from within rather than depending on others. People don’t know my inner qualities, so I should focus on them and accept myself. That’s true self-validation.

My negative thoughts are things like- I’m not allowed to do this. It’s never ok for me to be dysregulated, mad, or sad or anxious. I’m less if I’m this way. I have to only be happy and positive 24/7 because those are the times when I’m only deserving of love, acceptance and inclusion. Self limiting beliefs and unrealistic expectations and conditional self love is what I’m assuming these negative thoughts are. I believe it stems from my trauma, because I was never allowed to be different from everyone else in society and I had to earn love by being good and well-behaved.

It'd be nice if we could somehow put ourselves in each other's shoes so we could fully understand what the other person is truly going through! Then maybe we might come up with some ideas to help one another overcome our extremely challenging obstacles! It seems like an unachievable and unrealistic concept, but you never know what's possible! Life holds so many mysteries, that you never know what's really possible and what great things are waiting for us to experience and to have for always! Let's endure until our happy ending arrives! Take care!

I think what it’s saying is. How can you know how to control your thoughts and thought processes if you never know what those thoughts are Where they come from and why they are effecting you
It’s similar to the idea of being blind to a reality. Walking around the world commanding, arranging, existing, being, doing, etc. And never coming to a point of wonder at why do I respond to life, stimuli, triggers. Anything, What have you’s. At all
And never wondering why.
Or maybe it only seems to be, so.
Just my opinion!

Negative thoughts may push someone to try to do better, but it’s unhealthy if we try to be perfect and put too much pressure on ourselves to succeed and try to hard. This is what happened with Riley Anderson in Inside Out 2. Anxiety was feeding Riley negative thoughts and preparing her for all the things that could go wrong. This was unhealthy for Riley because she became too hard on herself and was trying to hard which ended up making her feel more stressed as she became obsessed with being a perfect hockey player

For those who're suffering with OCD, I think it's better to avoid your source of trauma(maybe strict beliefs) and rely on medications having a hope and it really works even though you cannot totally dismiss these obsessions. Don't listen those who around always saying You're not trying hard enough. It gave me relief only when I left my religion.

Nice, the Take proactive action is kind of an eye opener for me. That made me realize that I'm litterally only motivated to do things as a preventive measure, to avoid potentially disagreeable consequences, like doing lots of exercises only to prevent back problems, or learning new things just to not feel like an incompetent or an idiot.

Anticipate all the struggles that come with a relationship, and blindside your significant other by leaving them before they leave you. Birdbrain psychologists call this avoidant behavior, but those guys are just needy creeps. Being in a relationship threatens your independence. Leave or be left, so that they can let go or be dragged.

Anyone else with ADHD use negative thoughts to motivate themselves If I don't get this done, I will get fired, I have to show up at this party even though I am exhausted or people will hate me, etc. It works but being in fight or flight mode day after day for years is exhausting.

Never clicked on a video so fast before. If there was ever a skill I needed to work on, it's this.
Also Marcus Aurelius was a genius. I've been putting off reading Meditations for months now and maybe I should actually get around to it. It's not even all that long!

But what if our negative perceptions are true realities and our positiveones are overly positive I think most people with negative thoughts don’t mind changing, they are simply worried that positivity is thoughts and negativity is not as likely as a defense for themselves.

I live with negative thoughts majority of my life. Living with OCD, my negative thoughts are accelerated on an almost 24/7 daily & nightly basis & never leaves me. My self-esteem is extremely low. I try to talk or be with people who truly understands my situation.

I use my negative thought like a warning light, to remove myself from a situation until I am in the correct mindset. And I welcome being humbled, it keeps me from believing my own hype. I get in the most trouble when I believe my own bs!

You cant plan for everything. The best move is not to plan for every conceivable outcome, but to remain flexible and to adapt your plans when things go off the rails and try to look for ways to get them back on track. Adaptation over planning.

My negative thoughts have halted me from so many opportunities. I'm in my early 20s and already regret a lot of things, and lost many relationships due to negative thinking. To me it's hard to not let it consume me, but oh well.
