      One of the very few at least. Around 90% of people have these kind of thoughts from time to time.

    Intrusive thoughts are terrifying. It’s a testament to our collective willpower that we haven’t horrifically murdered each other.

    Also, I’m really glad the phrase “intrusive thoughts” came along. It made the whole thing a lot easier to talk about.

      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.

      Now if you lack impulse control, then we have a problem.

      Edit: We need a new term for the phobia of imagination and thought. I suggest Thinkophobia.
