UltragigagiganticIntrusive thoughts
HeavybellI am not tempted by my intrusive thoughts, personally. Never understood the “intrusive thoughts won” meme. :P
BingoBangoBongoThe people making these jokes don’t understand actual intrusive thoughts.
Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, involuntary thoughts, images, or ideas that can be distressing or upsetting. They can also be called interfering thoughts. These thoughts can occur spontaneously or be triggered by internal or external stimuli. They can be strange, aggressive, or sexual.
The act shown in the picture is certainly an intrusive thought.
You also don’t act on intrusive thoughts. This meme demonstrates an impulsive thought, not an intrusive one.
I doubt anyone wants to waste a whole roll of solder. It’s an unwanted action that they had a thought about. That’s the intrusive thought, they then just acted on it.
An intrusive thought is the thought, acting on it or not is separate.
