Example 1: For the avoidance compulsion
I have been in therapy and I have been asked not to avoid meeting people I find attractive. I am at a party and I see a good-looking girl who seems to be attracted to me as well. I decide to not avoid her and go up to talk to her. I find her very hot and she seems to be sexually drawn to me too.
We get out of the party and go to her place where we have hot, torrid sex, which I love. I have cheated on my girlfriend and she gets to know. She slaps me and decides to dump me. She goes away with an ex-boyfriend and I am shattered.
My friends come to know and they are on my girlfriend’s side too. They criticize me and abandon me as well. My family also looks at me contemptuously and breaks ties with me. The girl from the party I slept with does not want to have a relationship with me. I am all alone. I keep cursing myself for not having avoided going up to the girl but there is no point anymore.
Additional pointers to make the script more severe
- The girl from the party is a minor and I am arrested for pedophilia.
- The girl from the party gives me a sexually transmitted disease and ruins my life.
- My girlfriend is happy and I end up committing suicide.
Possible Escape Hatches to be aware of
- My girlfriend forgives my mistake.
- My friends introduce me to another girl.
- The girl from the party becomes my new girlfriend.
Example 2: For the Stalking Social Media compulsion
I have been in therapy for my ROCD and my therapist has asked me to stop stalking my partner’s social media feeds for possible infidelity. My girlfriend has told me that she would not be able to meet me today because she has work at office.
Normally I would stalk her social media to see if she is posting anything but I decide not to. It turns out that she did not have work at office but she was going to a party with another date. She has finally decided that she has had enough of me and decided to cheat on me.
I find out through a friend who has seen her social media posts. When I ask her about it, she is remorseless and laughs at me instead. Her new boyfriend also laughs at me and they mock me for crying. I had wanted to settle down with her but she clearly was not happy with me.
My friends also criticize me for not having checked social media to keep tabs on my cheating girlfriend. I am all alone and wish I had been a little more vigilant about keeping tabs on my girlfriend.
Additional pointers to make the script more severe
- My girlfriend has been cheating on me for a long time.
- The boy she is cheating on me with is my best friend or brother.
- My girlfriend is happy with her new boyfriend and I end up committing suicide.
Possible Escape Hatches to be aware of
- My girlfriend turns out to be innocent.
- My friends introduce me to another girl who is better.
My girlfriend realizes her mistake and comes back to me.
