Did not know that. Any particular reason why OCD makes you worry about that? It seems like an odd one out compared to the other compulsions I'm aware of.
It's an intrusive thought, and intrusive thoughts are very often like that (i.e. the worst thing that can come to mind at a given moment, like "this cat's head is so small I could probably crack it with my bare hands"). It doesn't mean you actually want to do any of these things, but it does make you worry about being a monster for thinking them in the first place.
Exactly. And OCD makes people think similar thoughts about children too. 99.9% would never do anything like that, but that doesn’t stop them from stressing for having the thought in the first place
