I am a nice person don't get me wrong. I have a big heart and when i go to the store, i buy other people things when i don't have to and i do things to make them happy but when i was like 13-16 or 17, i tryed getting into peoples emails or screen names because i was nosey and i made a survey to try to guess their secret question. Sometimes i pretended to be a guy to get pictures of girls when i was going through that stage, i used to make up different screen names of guys or girls to get information out of some people, like if they talked bad about me or if my boyfriend would cheat.

I don't really do it now the only thing i really do is check ex's myspace or email and voicemail just to see and i know people do immature things and they can move on and not even think twice about it but i have OCD so i am obsessing and no i am not blaming my actions on OCD. I even made up screen names and go on more than one at a time and have conversations with "them" and make fun of people "as the other person" then i woud stick up for them as me and then send the conversation to them. Maybe that part was to get more friends though since i was too shy in school.

I had conversations about being a guy and telling my boyfriend as another person i was going to kill "me" to see if he would care and all that stuff. I did A LOT I did all that stuff A LOT. I guess you could say i had too much time on my hands which i admit but how do i get past this?!

cd206 agony auntI guess you need to stop this immediately. It's not that it's wrong, although it's not the most healthy behaviour, but more that it's not fair to invade peoples privacy in this way. I have an online diary and recently I found out that a good friend of mine was hacking into it and reading it and we're no longer friends. I think everyone deserves to have some privacy and the right to their own thoughts. Your OCD may be to blame but it's time to find something more positive to challenge your energy into!
