Comment on hmm

If intrusive thoughts legitimately affect their capacity to function then yes that would be a disorder, but not due to having them, only due to how they handle them differently from those that aren’t affected.

Any relation to OCD is outside of my experience.

The point is that intrusive thoughts are real.

  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.
