Why is it that normalfags will believe the most baseless, groundless, ridiculous of claims merely because they agree with their own preconceived or imprinted notions?
One could always suggest that being molested themselves helps them realize just how good it felt to be touched, and want to help other children feel good just like they did.
It's just as reasonable if not more so than yours, which seems like it would be not out of place in the Daily Mail.


I know for myself that having anal sex with my brother when I was young was what led me to becoming obsessed with anal masturbation since I was in primary school. I wonder if some people actually believe all the trite that gets thrown around about childhood being some wonderful age of innocence where people are completely unable to feel any kind of sexual pleasure until they reach whatever age is considered the norm to start having open relations in their culture, generally some time around high school.

Jordan Chandler eventually told the police that Jackson had sexually abused him.[115] Dr. Chandler was tape-recorded discussing his intention to pursue charges, saying, "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over". Jordan's mother was, however, adamant that there had been no wrongdoing on Jackson's part.[114] Jackson later used the recording to argue that he was the victim of a jealous father whose only goal was to extort money from the singer.[114]

Pregnancy and sex are two different things. Or are you going to tell all the sluts out their that they shouldn't be using birth control to live their immoral lives?
Also, the youngest recorded pregnancy was at 6. Are you saying its alright to have sex with 6 year olds since there's a chance to get pregnant?

Secondly, plenty of studies in animal sexuality have shown there exist significant amount of mating between adult/juvenile pairs (juvenile referring to those members of the population too young to reproduce), a significant (I think it was about 33% in one) proportion of the pairings were initiated by the juvenile.

When I was younger I had extreme social anxiety (no phone, no door answering, even family was difficult) but nothing in 'insane' territory until a little after my 20th birthday when I started hearing voices and now apparently I am psychotic.

Well, due to this I ended up IRL stalking some girl for months (she thought it was sweet in the end) and I have occassionally been found laying on the street by my neighbours talking to the sky. They are fortunately very understanding people.

Amazingly bad example to use to explain to someone who doesn't know what autism is.

High function autism is basically means they can function in ordinary everyday life without help, however suffer from some difficulties, being able to function doesn't mean the difficulities are minor though.

social retardation or whatever is actually the term used when people were less aware of autism and they still are.

poor social skills is one of the primary signs of autism, however poor social skills born of poor confidence and self-esteem are NOT indicators of autism.

I don't have a diagnosis for anything but I think I should go see a psych-something soon. I've started to have hardly any motivation for anything at all (including my hobbies and even posting online), I can't sleep well and I am starting to have real problems going anywhere at all. Before I might be a bit anxious, but now I fear everything. Every muslim-like person is going to blow himself up, every car tries to drive over me, every old woman hates me and every young guy wants to rob me. The list goes on. I feel surreal, I fear panic attacks and other such things all the time. Although I guess the surreal feeling might be caused by my lack of sleep.
I also hear voices (usually calling my name or an old online nick) and see things "wrong" at times, but I guess those could also be a result from my lack of sleep.

Extreme paranoia and hallucinations. Sounds like you might be in the prepsychotic phase. If you drink or smoke weed, I would stop now. If you don't do either, all the more need for you to see a psychiatrist, because you must be very sensitive to it if it's happening without some trigger.

But people think and feel differently. Then it goes without saying that there are good and bad systems of mind, constructive and destructive. Some people have very destructive thought systems that make it impossible for them to function properly. At that point, you can call it a mental illness.

Proof? OCD is only "obsessively" needing to give in to certain "compulsions," and refraining from doing so causing distress, to such a degree that it seriously impairs one's life. But what if the things one was obsessive and compulsive about were things they didn't really need to go out of their way to do? Not everyone's going to be obsessive about washing their hands for half an hour until the flesh is exposed. I had a friend who, when finishing up a game, would save. And then I'd watch him and he'd continue a save again and again for about a minute. Telling him he had already saved was no use. It was strange and obsessive, and he had other things he addressed like that, but it was hardly a major impediment on his life, because of the things they were.

By "serious" you really mean harmful to one's life. If there was a strange condition that made people do relatively insignificant and harmless things, you wouldn't call it serious, nor would you really want to call it a condition.

What's to say that OCD isn't really the diagnosis of obsession and compulsion only when the things they are obsessive and compulsive about cause them harm?

Basically, you're saying that OCD can only be diagnosed when it's damaging. It's not the state of mind that's causing this, but a combination of the obsessions, compulsions and the activities they are specific to. In that case, "everyone has some form of OCD, but it's only really OCD when it becomes extremely problematic" would be accurate.
