Individuals are overly self-controlled, and many intrusive thoughts will arise in their minds.
The so-called intrusive thoughts refer to ideas that the individual thinks is not themselves, is not under their control, or that they do not want to accept. Psychological research suggests that individuals have intrusive thoughts because of excessive self-control. The individual's requirements for the self are too strict, and the slightest thing that does not conform to a certain principle will be suppressed in the subconscious by himself. Over time, only one belief, one kind of cognition, one kind of thought is allowed in the mind, which we call the "pure brain environment." The pure brain environment is very fragile because it is easily harmed. The slightest thought that does not conform to this environment will produce an overreaction.

Maintain a pure brain environment
The so-called pure brain environment is "admitting death" and "drilling the horn tip". The brain identifies with only one idea and accepts only one belief. Anything that does not conform to this idea, this belief, is regarded as an intrusive thought. Due to the excessive stubborn thinking of individuals, their behavior becomes very rigid. In the process of dealing with the problem can not be flexible, even if it has been wrong ten times, in the eleventh attempt still follow the inherent pattern of behavior. They are too rigid, they are too sharp to accept new ideas and concepts, and every time an intrusive idea comes into their mind, it will trigger their excessive behavior. These so-called intrusive ideas are themselves, but they are not willing to accept them.
Maintain stereotypical behavior patterns
The so-called stereotyped behavior pattern refers to the fact that individuals can only respond to problems according to existing behavior patterns in order to avoid mistakes. They are reluctant to try new ways and methods, and they cannot accept the consequences of failure because of new ways and methods. Dating back to their childhood, due to the excessively strict education of their parents, they caused such behavior. Because in their experience, if they do not do a certain behavior according to their parents' requirements, they will be severely reprimanded or even scolded. For them, the fault tolerance rate is so small that they have to be cautious. When they grow up, they often have intrusive thoughts in their minds, which are caused by excessive self-control.
Maintain the only self-esteem you have
Their self-esteem is low and their self-esteem is not positive enough. In their logic, as long as there are excessive thoughts, they will feel deeply inferior. These ideas are actually the individual's needs for a certain aspect, these needs are reasonable, but in the process of fighting for these needs, the individual will feel inferior. In order to maintain their only self-esteem and not to reveal their inner inferiority, they are highly controlled over their basic needs. Even the slightest sense of identity does not dare to be extravagant, so it is always in a passive position in social interaction, afraid of bringing trouble to others. They limit their own ideas and needs, and whenever they arise, they are seen as intrusive ideas, thus excluding them.

Creates an inherent conflict
These so-called intrusive thoughts are themselves part of self-awareness. It is just that these ideas are not accepted by the individual, so they will be rejected, and the result is internal conflict. In the individual's original cognition, thoughts, and beliefs, a unified organism can be formed; but when these intrusive ideas arise, the individual's original cognitive balance is broken. They find themselves questioning their original way of behaving, and in order to avoid self-denial, they vigorously reject this intrusive idea. In the final analysis, they stay in the inherent thinking and cognition, unable to accept the new ideas. After the internal conflict arises, the individual will become very contradictory, restless, and stressed.
split personality
If the individual is unable to integrate these intruding thoughts, severe personality splits may occur. That is, in their minds, two or more self-consciousnesses are generated. Each self-consciousness has independent beliefs, ideas, and cognitions, and each self-awareness guides individuals to behave differently. The typical case is "Three-Faced Eve", which has three personalities, one of which is the main personality and two of the sub-personalities. Through a series of cognitive interventions, Eve gradually accepted her different side and achieved a harmonious unity of self-knowledge. If you always have intrusive thoughts, then it means that you need to rethink old ideas, beliefs, ideas, and perceptions.

Understand that this is your own idea
Even thoughts that you see as intrusive are ultimately your own. Some ideas do not simply conform to your own perceptions, beliefs, and ideas, but to the perceptions, beliefs, and ideas of most people. Intrusive thoughts like these often reveal your overly repressive side. There are many instinctive impulses, although not in line with the public order and good customs of society, but if they are released through reasonable means of emotional release, they can still be solved. If you blindly suppress these irrational thoughts, you will definitely be eaten by it. When you no longer have the ability to control it, you will have all kinds of psychological problems.
Embrace these intrusive ideas
There are many so-called intrusive thoughts that do not violate public order and good customs, but only have an impact on your original cognition and beliefs, so they are regarded as intrusive thoughts by you. You need to embrace these intrusive ideas in a flexible way, and sometimes they're creative and you can even execute them. In short, do not admit death, do not drill the horns, everyone needs to grow, in the process of growth is bound to give up outdated experiences, ideas, beliefs, cognitions, and accept new experiences, ideas, beliefs and cognitions. Sometimes calmly analyze it, many inner contradictions are just unwilling to reconcile with themselves!
All in all, be flexible and flexible, know how to learn and use, and don't let yourself become too rigid. You should control yourself properly and don't suppress yourself too much.
