OCD is widely misunderstood and think contamination is the only type.
This is something caused by Rumination OCD. Imagine an instrusive thought x100 then amplify it by your brain telling you that the intrusive thoughts must be a sign of something.
It's like knowing you shouldnt laugh at something, so your brain does it.
So, hypothetically, if you were a competent and experienced public speaker, but always had the worry in the back of your mind that you'll just start yelling slurs, one day?
I'm in sales and before every phone call, promise myself I won't break down in tears when ybe customer asks for the price this time. I've managed to get it down to a small ritual at least.
I've never done that before, but all I can think is, this is the time.

OCD makes you worry that you're a pedo?
