Imagine being thrown into a football (American) or Rugby game or Heavy weight MMA fight against some bottom rank pro opponent. How many hits could you take from a 200+ lb fighter, linebacker, etc? Do you think
You could take what to them was even a light days abuse- or do you think one or two hits you’d be out? How well do you think that fighter would do on the ball field or the ball player in the ring? Even the most mentally and physically tough humans aren’t as tough and that toughness doesn’t mean nothing can get through to them- some people are tougher to some things and less resistant to others. While these people have two different conditions, even if we say it’s the same thing- it really isn’t. OCD is a mental condition that effects how you think not just your thoughts- but how you process and act on things. By the same logic could you tell a depressed person to “shut up pussy- you’ll be fine” over what bothers them? If a depressed person was upset at a suicide joke or being...
... belittled, should they be asked to “toughen up?” Our words and actions effect others. You might be impossible to offend but not everyone is. One amputee might find humor in something another is hurt by. We tend to forget that is what “offended” at the core means. It’s someone telling us something hurts them- causes them mental distress. It isn’t someone saying “I don’t like this so you shouldn’t either...” they are saying that something is causing them pain emotionally or harm to their sense of self. If you could run faster than your little child or sibling would you carry them away from danger or leave them behind yelling “toughen up! You’ll be fine..”? Kudos to you if you can handle things and find humor in them. Not everyone is the same. It’s about trying to respect others in a world where there are so many different cultures and individuals.

Haha was just about to say that, thanks thanks. But yeah one of the first things I noticed when my depression really started acting up is that you just get bothered by everything. Now ocd isn’t depression so it obviously different and you can totally tell them to just “not be bothered”, right? OH WAIT one of the symptoms for OCD is “excessive focus on moral ideals”- https://www.helpguide.org/articles/anxiety/obssessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd.htm/
Aka just what she is doing here.
Ive got mild OCD (how much it effects me depends on a lot of things including my overall mental state, normal day stuff like checking my car door 4 times when I lock it, that sorta thing)
I can definitely see why someone would get the unhappys over such a thing.
Personally I'd wear it as a joke if I didn't have to pay for it.
