People end up believing they don't deserve life.

I think that, especially if you have ADHD and you're used to masking,

The skill of masking can be used for many things and suddenly you'd be masking your OCD behind that.

You can be having a conversation with a record player behind you going, you're a terrible person, you're awful, this happened.

Maybe there's a trigger in a conversation that suddenly sets the record player going and we can be chatting and this record player is churning behind me.

or out in hour after hour no one has a clue that you're experiencing it just because you're not sitting there like this in the corner doesn't mean that you're not torturing yourself some of the people who are the most depressed and suffer the most might have the biggest smile on their face i mean often you'll see this on tiktok where hey look at this video of my partner a week before they died with a big smile and laughing that tells you little about what's going on behind the smile um which i think actually why it's so important to be kind um

something I think we've completely lost in recent years.

There's, there's something around like, you know, everyone should be kind.

There's that be kind hashtag kindness, be kind stuff that happened a few years ago.

And now we've seemed to have gone to a place where being kind is just like woke and no one wants to be kind and

We're in a horrible state of affairs.

I think we need to be much kinder to people.

I think we need to judge less.

We're the most judgmental we've ever been as a society.

I think we need to accept the imperfections of people.

People make mistakes.

People get things wrong.

People are imperfect.

And I think that doesn't help people with OCD.

Living in a world where any mistake is
