Any relation to OCD is outside of my experience.

The point is that intrusive thoughts are real.
LemmysMum@lemmy.world 7 months ago
And my point is that yes, they are real, they are also a figment of our imagination.

We don’t imagine them. They imagine us.
We are the result of them. We are the effluence of thoughts.

I don’t think this person believes that people are actively making up intrusive thoughts or talking about something that doesn’t happen. It seems like they’re saying that thoughts, any thoughts, are our imagination, intrusive or otherwise.

I imagine you believe that.
