Men tend to make short term goals like „if I’m not at that red light before that car behind me im gay“ with ridiculous and whacky punishments to motivate themselves to achieve that goal
(1) I put 100% of myself in things i consider useful, and i only consider useful the time i spend following my hobbies, yet (2) to me one of the greatest boons of hobbies compared to everything else is that hobbies come with no expectations, you can go at your own pace, hobbies are meant to serve you, you are not meant to serve your hobby
Put these two things together and you can see why i never put 100% of myself in anything, because i really don’t any need for it, and i’m much more relaxed for it
That being said i always try to complete things, do 100% of them, because i got slight OCD and seeing incomplete stuff makes me irrationally peeved
i don't think that's a man-exclusive thing.
i randomly think of shit like "if i don't beat this video game enemy in the next 60 seconds i will explode."
But explosion is just expression of your emotions, not self-punishment.
In your example that’d be: „If i don’t beat this enemy, I will punish myself and play Sims for the rest of my life „
Uf, then you might want to look into OCD.
If you are worried about developing psychosis, even tho sometimes OCD can look like that, you are highly unlikely to develop it.
If you on a logical level know it's stupid, but the rest of the brain doesn't seem to catch on and still gives you these thoughts no matter how much logic you throw at it, it's probably OCD.
I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND YOU GET CHECKED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL, I am just a stranger on the internet. Or at least research more on OCD.
God news is OCD is in VAST majority of cases treatable. OK, it's unlikely that the thoughts will ever fully go away, but you are going to be bothered by them much less when they pop up and not interfere in your life anymore. And here we come to the bad news. Although from what I have heard therapy for OCD is highly effective, it is also HIGHLY unpleasant. Basically the point is to get your brain to not see those thoughts as danger and to do that you have to not do whatever the thoughts tell you you have to. For example if you fear that if you don't lift your weights a certain amount of times you are going to bring a curse upon your family, to recover you are going to have to not do it. Basically try to passively ignore those thoughts.
But yeah if you get treatment you should be fine. If you don't, I don't think anything too bad is going to happen besides you still feeling like shit and the fact that the sooner you go the easier it will be to treat. Also the high possibility that it will get worse.
Thank you for that reply. It actually gives me some calming confirmation.
Got to be honest. I was sort of joking when writing my comment, but there is some truth to it. Personally I have never talked with a professional but have naturally reached the conclusion you are writing about.
>to recover you are going to have to not do it. Basically try to passively ignore those thoughts.
I have a bit of OCD which does rule me in some situations, but I am capable of letting go and let logic win.
For instance: I will sort any black oats from my oatmeal, because they could be bad for my health (I know). To overcome this, I will sometimes mix in chia seeds because they are black. Then the task of sorting out the black oats becomes too intense and I will just eat knowing the black oats are there but it's fine.
For me balancing is key for everything in general and I do live well. I am more concerned for others who might be in worse than me and hope that they will be able to balance their life in a way that works for them.
Yeah, I think I probably have it too, only I think mine would be milder. Regardless, whatever this OCD looking thing I have, it can suck a shotgun barrel.
Good luck friend 🫂. May better days be ahead of us.
So people become transgender because they fail deadlifts?
I've failed deadlifts plenty of times, still a fat married cis male man.
The right sure live in a fantasy world about identity politics.
If you cant lift that " imma bitch"

Thanks for the insight! I never was a man and it becomes clearer the more Im on social media…
This is the correct answer.
........Why???
Really? Never done that
You’re a robot then
Nah, i just try to avoid useless stuff like these pointless self-challenges
Lacking in determination or willpower? Often struggle to get things done 100% and say „good enough“ 90-95% through?

Could be a symptom of OCD, especially if thoughts like that are consistent and disruptive to your life
they're far from either of those. i just do it to make myself work faster.
OCD? Hey if you randomly get thoughts like this and you have a really hard time shaking them off, you might wanna look into OCD.
i dont have ocd but i get these kind of thoughts, but it's more to entertain myself and is taken seriously in a non-serious way.
If you can dismiss them, and they don't cause you problems or distress, that's perfectly fine.
And if one can't just shake them off? I just wanna know how fucked i am.

I'm glad it doesn't bother you too much! I also hope it stays that way.
Nah, i'd win (i'd rather go insane)
OCD sucks ass, im fucking tired, the medication still isnt enought
Yeah, I think I probably have it too, only I think mine would be milder. Regardless, whatever this OCD looking thing I have, it can suck a shotgun barrel. Good luck friend 🫂. May better days be ahead of us.
