How do people deal with Cancellation OCD? I have it to the point where I worry every hour of every day. I’m currently enrolled in one of the best art schools in my country and I worry about someone from my past sabotaging me by emailing them with stuff

I have cut off so many online friends and deleted so many accounts. I cry almost every day because of this. Any advice is appreciated

Just how many people who outright purposely said the n word still get accepted into their colleges. It sucks but irl cancellation is unlikely to have consequences outside of social. Especially if it was a long time ago.

Ohhhh this is literally me Here’s what helps me: think about like people who you’ve had issues with in the past. How much proof do you have of these issues? It’s likely like random text messages that don’t make sense out of context. Is anything they’ve done REALLY bad enough to get them expelled from a program? Last, do you WANT to go through the effort of emailing the school, having to set up a whole case against this student, and spend your time and energy trying to get them kicked out?

Thank you so much. There’s this girl in my school who graduated a few years ago and she supports this very alt right politician and made some questionable work over the years and honestly, I think I’m okay compared to what she did

I also like the point that the other person made above — look at all the people who say racist things, do drugs, cheat their way through every exam, steal, etc — at my college (it’s decently prestigious), people get away with ANYTHING with practically no consequences. There was this one girl I knew who had roommates who were doing coke on HER STUFF IN THE ROOM — she reported them, nothing ever happened to them. The school won’t kick you out for something someone said happened in the past,

ESPECIALLY if it wasn’t at their institution. You’re fine, don’t worry :) OCD is a bitch but you’ve got this
