I have a whole stew of mental disorders but OCD hits different sometimes. I haven’t talked to many people who have tick like outward compulsions. I have so many and I do them through out the day so I’m used to them (I’m a lot better than I used to be) but recently I was in another support type group for it and I felt weird because it seemed like most of the others said they didn’t have outward compulsions. I guess I thought I’d feel comfort in a niche group but it made me feel more alone. Maybe deep down it reminded me of my mom making fun of me about it and kids in school asking why I was doing weird stuff over and over. I recently decided I’m not going to try to hide it from people anymore and that has eased a lot of stress so that’s nice. Idk I just wanted to get that off my chest and see if maybe anyone else has a similar thing? It was also weird because I’m usually fine being by myself and I rarely feel lonely so sometimes it catches me off guard when I do feel that way.
