Why are *impulsive* thoughts almost always violent, but *intrusive* memories are just cringey?
IMPULSIVE
“I could drive into oncoming traffic right now.”
”I could push that guy down the stairs.”
”I want to slap this person I just met.”
INTRUSIVE
”Remember that time when I accidentally said ‘mannequin’ instead of ‘masquerade’ and the amputee teacher got super offended?”
”Not everyone likes their portraits, like the time I drew that pretty girl and she got weirded out.”
”Chokers are a thing I unironically wore in 2001.”
