Started freaking out bc I picked up an eyeliner at target and then put it back and then shoved my cart further down in my pocket so it looked like I put it in my pocket and then I started getting anxious so it looks even more like I stole I hate ocd

Don’t worry homie as someone who worked in retail 1. We are not allowed to do anything about shoplifters even if we see it (most of us won’t even mention it unless it’s dangerous or just to a coworker) 2. The cameras CATCH IT ALLLLL to get those who consistently steal, meaning they saw you put it back up then place it down and then fuck with your stuff, it’s not uncommon 3. Were not paid enough to care I know OCD is a bitch and the thoughts won’t stop but I hope this gives you a bit of reilef

i used to steal a lot (poor and also dont care) and then my ocd got worse and now even buying stuff completely perfectly makes me nervous lol i’m like ‘what if taking my wallet out of my pocket looks suspicious’

not gonna self diagnose but kinda concerning that so many things of ocd align with my patterns since i’ve been a kid 😭 whether or not i have it, at least this comforts me that i’m not the only one who thinks about stuff like this

omg the other day i had to go buy a new thing of concealer but i needed to bring in my old one to compare shades and i was sooo anxious putting it back in my pocket even though if anyone actually asked to see it they’d immediately be able to tell it’s old and used 😭 and then the self-checkout camera flagged me for no reason when i went to pay and i was SWEATING
