@cummies @unspeakabledesire Maybe that's what happened to me, I was/am a real nonexclusive "pedo", and it was all fine until I started seeing people (ugly stupid people, which is worse) say things like people like me should be killed. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it, I still can't talk to people because all I can think is "I'm a pedo I'm a pedo, they'll know I'm a pedo, they'll kill me, they'll burn my house down and kill my family and pets, they'll do it secretly, pedos have no protections, people would see my suffering on the news and celebrate"
for me it manifests as "what if im a pedophile? i have to check by looking at this kid and seeing if i get aroused"
i do also get thought broadcasting fears like "they know im thinking about being a pedo i need to think of something else"
