OK, I saw three parts from the information above.

1. One information needs to be read many times.

2. I realized that this is a compulsive behavior.

3. There is a confrontation within yourself. Part of it is to read it many times, part of it is to hope that you don’t read it many times. There seems to be some discomfort in this confrontation.


You used a word "generalization". So when will we start to appear? OK, then what special happened when it appeared? What special thing happened that made you decide the news, and you must confirm, confirm, and confirm again?

"Generalization" is a psychological noun.

When a reaction is connected to a certain stimulus, this reaction will also form a certain degree of conditional connection with other similar stimuli. This process is called generalization.

In psychological counseling, the so-called generalization refers to: the stimulus events that cause the adverse psychological and behavioral responses of the help seeker are no longer the initial events. Even events similar to the initial stimulus events (has been generalized), and even events that are not similar to and unrelated to the initial stimulus events (fully generalized).


A sentence we are more familiar with is: "Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of straw ropes for ten years."

is used for your above description. You can imagine or speculate: I didn’t see a certain information once. It triggered a series of reactions and had some consequences. (Once I was bitten by a snake.)

I criticized myself, blamed me, and felt very regretful, I always wanted to do it again, I made up my mind to confirm the information...

In order to prevent similar things from happening, I kept reading the information and couldn't confirm it even after reading it. I needed to keep reading it several times. (Ten years afraid of straw ropes.)

This behavior is actually a continuous internal pressure. Based on this understanding and principle, we can adjust accordingly.

1. Complete the past.

can have a farewell to the ceremony.

2. Clarify some inner beliefs and emotions.

3, behavior management

I can make corresponding calendar reminders, or clock alarm . Or notepad. Or make an agreement with people around you that the reply message I give them will be answered within a few hours, similar to the tomato alarm clock. After reading it, it is on the calendar and itinerary. Make an alarm clock reminder. And keep recording what you have done. Make sure I can do it ok.

releases internal pressure. Establish successful behaviors and outcomes.

Please consult with professional system.
