  How you handle intrusive thoughts is no different to handling any other thought you have, wanted or unwanted, good or bad, if you are going to get it any way and you can’t change the fact they exist how does defining them otherwise in the context of understanding how to not let them affect you provide any benefit?

  I would argue that my way of thinking must be correct for this task because I am obviously not afflicted in the same way by my thoughts that I feel I need to define the bad subconscious ones as ‘intrusive’. They haven’t intruded on my consciousness, my consciousness found them.

    I think you need to make up your mind whether intrusive thoughts are a thing or not, because you start your post with talking about how to handle intrusive thoughts, then you go on to say they aren’t a thing.

    It’s a perspective that doesn’t make sense is what it is.

      Intrusive thoughts are real, they are also a figment of our imaginations. Both of these things are true and not mutually exclusive.

        You in the beginning:

        I’m sorry if this sounds callous but I utterly disregard your notion with predjudice.

        They aren’t intrusive thoughts, they’re just your thoughts, stop being afraid of thinking.

        You one post ago:

        You this post:

        Intrusive thoughts are real

        Again- make up your mind.
