That's interesting, i often admire people also who show their rightous anger, hypocrites are a sad lot.
with ocd, you worry constantly about things that never transpire, and fear of rejection and making mistakes are magnified 10 fold. but through self-exploration, and cognitive therapy, i've learned that any and all thought process's are valid, as long as i'm not breaking the law.
i actually now go out of my way sometimes to be somewhat belligerent, or adopt an "attitude", just to know the feeling, i was so obsessed with right and wrong all these years. i was even afraid to yell at people cutting me out in traffic before, now i can lean on my horn and curse with the best of them, lol.
but i do respect honesty more than anything in the human condition, and if someone in church does scorn me, as much as i want connection, i like the fact that they are true to themselves.
ocd is anti-life, it encircles you in a web of fear to protect you from your true, base emotions, i think Freud's interpretation of repressed rage and sexuality in ocd and other pathologies is still valid today, at least i buy it...john
