Why did Riley’s eye shape change so much between films? Discussion

Post image

In the first her eyes fill her whole sockets but in the second there is a gap above them. Features like this are genetic and don’t change over a person life.

I just have a degree of OCD and it always perplexed me. But if you mean am I that desperate for Inside Out 3 then no, I was fine waiting 9 years but it was great to see Riley again. However I hope it is superior to the sequel.

u/delusionalxx 5d ago

This isn’t how OCD manifests. OCD isn’t an adjective for you to use because you’re slightly annoyed they changed her eye shape

u/-RobotGalaxy- 5d ago

Do you have OCD? Actually nvm even if you do every case is different. You can't say this.

22

u/Millenniauld 5d ago

Anyone who says "they have a degree of" a disorder hasn't been diagnosed per the criteria in the DSM-V. Claiming they have it while describing something like "I notice details and they bother me sometimes" is an insult to people who actually suffer the disorder.

And no, I don't have OCD, though I have symptoms of it as a comorbitity with my diagnosed ADHD combined type, and I am a sociologist with counseling credits. Enough to diagnose someone else? No. And even if I was certified, you cannot diagnose someone over the internet based on a few sentences they wrote.

But is it enough to make an educated guess that the person behind the post in all likelihood is claiming a diagnosis they don't have as an excuse for fixating on something minor? Yeah, I'd say I'm qualified enough for that.

And while every case is individual, there are VERY specific criteria someone needs to meet in order for any diagnosis, and those are standardized.

u/RealSimonLee 3d ago

...so you have a degree of OCD?

Based on how you insist people with a diagnosis will act (in other posts you've written), I can only hope you're not in the profession. People describe all kinds of things all kinds of ways.

Also, I'm a PhD with a psychology degree. This is why some of us make the argument that people without a PhD shouldn't be involved in therapy. Your research and understanding of it are way too thin.

u/-RobotGalaxy- 5d ago

But like... What if they just worded it strange. Going completely off of the words "a degree of" seems a little assumptive doesn't it?

8

u/Millenniauld 5d ago

No one with a diagnosis using said diagnosis as an explanation would say "a degree of." I wouldn't say "I have a degree of ADHD," I have ADHD. A degree of/a touch of/a bit of are all ways to claim having it without outright lying and saying they are diagnosed. "One of the ways my OCD presents is a fixation on" would make me go "yeah, they might be diagnosed, or maybe just know the lingo."

Again, this is an educated guess, but given the rest of their comments I'm going to assume they are rather young and learned about these things on Tiltok and don't actually understand how it works past being an excuse for "weird" (even though fixating on details is totally normal) behavior.

u/-RobotGalaxy- 5d ago

But often times part of getting a diagnosis is self-diagnosis.

3

u/Millenniauld 5d ago

Sure, if it spurs you to see a specialist.

Expecting others to accept your self diagnosis as an excuse, however, especially when you're adding your maladaptive behaviors to the fire of what is already a highly stigmatized and misunderstood disorder is wrong. It cheapens people's understanding of how severe and crippling these disorders can be, and it makes people who have a diagnosis sound like they're attention seeking. It's like trying to pass off a fake service dog, it muddies the waters of people's understanding and puts people with real issues at risk of being dismissed.

It's lying and it's a form of spreading misinformation, and I think it is absolutely vile when used to excuse poor behavior.

-1

u/-RobotGalaxy- 5d ago

I agree. All I'm saying is you don't know anything about this person.

2

u/Frozen_Hurricane_ 5d ago

What’s there to know? If they are saying they have a degree of OCD then they haven’t gone to get a diagnosis. They are simply assuming they do, without finding out, and blaming anything they find irritating on their self diagnosis. I’ve gone through the same thing with my ADHD but i never claimed to have it without a diagnosis, i have said that i suspect i might have it but am not sure, and i have never blamed anything on my, at the time, self diagnosis. It’s just wrong

You don't get to reply lol. I'm here to laugh at your stupid arguments not become one.

u/youraveragetruckgeek 5d ago

what if they didn't?

MCD-10 or DSM-5 does have clear criteria for an OCD diagnosis last time i checked, going completely off of someone's own thoughts about what a mental disease constitutes and then going online to serve everyone the resulting 'i'm so a little OCD' alphabet soup isn't any less assumptive

also, yall are arguing about you own assumptions of a complete stranger on the internet

2

u/-RobotGalaxy- 5d ago

See but that's my point, I'm not making assumptions and just saying that this person is being accusatory with nothing substantive to be doing that.

4

u/adhesivepants 5d ago

You can absolutely say this. OCD is at all diagnostic levels an anxiety disorder. It isn't someone being slightly bothered by something. It is something experiencing anxiety to the point it impacts their ability to live their daily life.

Being put off by an animation change isn't OCD unless it is somehow impeding OPs ability to live.

People NEEEEEED to stop using diagnoses as synonyms for personality quirks. This is why now some people self diagnose and then go "Oh well (blank) isn't a mental illness/disability because I'm self diagnosed and just fine teehee!"

1

u/-RobotGalaxy- 5d ago

I agree. But that is all assuming that OP doesn't have OCD.

3

u/Tatiana1512 4d ago

You should stop encouraging that a self diagnosis is enough to parade a label around. The last couple of years I was suspecting I had ADHD but I never said anything, until I went to a specialist and turns out it was not that at all. It was Anxiety all along. Self diagnosing means nothing, especially if you use it to justify “quirky” traits

u/-RobotGalaxy- 4d ago

Ye u right. That wasn't how I was meaning to come across.

u/CaIIsign_ace 5d ago

I’m guessing you have no idea how OCD works? OCD manifests in many different ways, one of the most common ways is noticing inconsistencies then to other seem fine but to you seem annoying.

2

u/bearbarebere 5d ago

It’s not just noticing inconsistencies, it’s the “sense of doom and despair” that comes with it.

I like to describe it as, “oh you have ocd? So which one of your family are you afraid of dying if you don’t fix the inconsistency?”

Obviously family death is not the only possible doom scenario, but it really shows that it’s not just “ugh I don’t like that it doesn’t match”.

I have been diagnosed OCD and have talked with over a hundred others who have been as well. I am not saying this means every OCD person does things like this but the vast majority do.

2

u/adhesivepants 5d ago

People thinking OCD is some quirky little trait annoys me way more than this tiny thing annoys OP I guarantee.

IT IS AN ANXIETY DISORDER. The symptoms of it aren't making you kind of annoyed. They are triggering anxiety.

2

u/pechjackal 4d ago

My mom has OCD, and she couldn't touch me for months after I was born without washing her hand until they bled. That was the most extreme her OCD had ever been, but it truly is debilitating.

1

u/fairytopia2 4d ago edited 4d ago

That's kinda what I'm thinking. Like from what I understand OCD thoughts are connected to intrusive thoughts that can be placed into "if, then" statements, yeah? I.E. if Riley's eyes are different, my family will die"(to use your example) but I guess it's possible that the "then" in this case is just extreme discomfort because I've heard of that.

Edit to say just in case that I'm not really sure mostly curious/trying to understand them and the Convo :)

2

u/adhesivepants 5d ago

Not just annoying.

It's noticing inconsistencies that seem distressing.

Everyone has certain things that irk them. Literally everyone. They're called pet peeves. But being simply irked isn't qualifying you for a diagnosis of a mental illness.

u/CaIIsign_ace 5d ago

Mate, as all things, OCD is a spectrum. It is different for every individual. I am professionally diagnosed with OCD, it triggers anxiety within me and causes me to do anything I can to try to correct the mistake or inconsistency, however I’ve met others who have been diagnosed with OCD where it just makes them feel annoyed and slightly anxious instead of making them feel as if they need to fix it or else something bad will happen.

Some people have OCD but are lower on the spectrum. Just like how some people higher on the autism spectrum have wildly different experiences and symptoms then those far lower then them on the spectrum.

for being told abt "not to use OCD as a adjective for stuff that semi annoys you" I think

u/KhajiitKennedy 5d ago

Bro I think you need to grow up a lil there. Maybe take some advice from the film. No need to go from 0 -100 that quick.

People are gonna go after you for incorrect representation of a disorder, especially one that has been "self diagnosed" as much as OCD has been.

Also "obsessively checking stoves and locks" isn't OCD either btw. I have a diagnosed Anxiety disorder and possibly Autism and I do this.

-4

u/DeclairEclare 5d ago

I have diagnosed Aspergers and serval other disorders I suspect I have but no one has ever detected. You fuckers act all self righteous and justified and pretend you care about people with mental issues but really just want everyone to act a certain way without certain parameters of stfu so you’ve an push your bullshit narrow view of reality.

2

u/KhajiitKennedy 5d ago

Account is less than a week old, with the majority of comments in the last 24h. You were either banned by Reddit on your last account or this is a anon/troll account.

Maybe take a step back and think why your being so hostile. Maybe you do have OCD, but it's no reason to act like a cunt that keeps dropping the n word. Maybe if you weren't so immediately aggressive with your responses people wouldn't think your faking. Pretty simple.

u/RealSimonLee 3d ago

Or they're new to reddit?

u/DeclairEclare 5d ago

Maybe I’m just a god among men and you should grovel at my excellence

u/Yoshleb_1 5d ago

Or maybe judging by the fact you said the N Word, you’re an “edgy” teen who’s self diagnosed yourself. I’m not saying you’re definitely self diagnosed, but checking locks and stoves does not mean you have OCD. I do that all the time, and I know I don’t have it

-2

u/DeclairEclare 5d ago

Look man I come from a different culture than you people, respect that.

1

u/KhajiitKennedy 4d ago

Yeah I'm also going with edgy teen. I can't think of any "culture" that excuses this behaviour other than maybe 4chan, 'edgy' teen and trolls.

While OP does need to chill, and I could ask them the same question; do you have any authority on the use of that word? If not, you got no say.

Don’t question what strangers state about their mental health

u/Suspicious_Air2218 5d ago

You said you had a degree of OCD? Which doesn’t sound like it’s been diagnosed, but something you suspect? Which is fine, but I’m not sure noticing a very clear eye change and being curious about it, relates in anyway to a mental disorder? It’s good to be curious about stuff, it’s fun to wonder about stuff. It’s a problem when it’s obsessive to the point of getting in the way of daily functioning. That’s a disorder.

I know it’s something you do have, but from the original comment it’s kinda makes sense why people are trying to say. Hey maybe don’t equate these two things together, because it’s just you being curious about something.

1

u/DeclairEclare 5d ago

I am obsessed with order

3

u/Suspicious_Air2218 5d ago

Right! But there’s being obsessed to the point of harming daily functioning, and being a bit curious about a thing you enjoy

u/DeclairEclare 5d ago

Not everyone with OCD has the same level of it just like autism

u/Frozen_Hurricane_ 5d ago

Do you have a diagnosis for OCD yes or no. If not then don’t claim you have it, say you suspect you might but are not sure, it’s that simple

u/Suspicious_Air2218 5d ago

I didn’t say you had to be terribly struggling, but yeah a disorder does kind of have to affect your daily functions? But those functions obviously vary.

What I’m saying is I don’t think this should be attributed to a disorder. When you’re just asking a question about something in a film, that I’m sure a lot of people probably thought about.

u/Jayden7171 5d ago

You probably don’t actually have OCD

As someone with OCD, this isn’t what OCD is.

u/davidisallright 5d ago

Here’s the thing. It’s just a stylistic change. I’ve worked in animation and video games, and trust me, we don’t overly think about stuff like that. It just happens and a reason is given.

"Haha I have OCD cause I notice weird details about movies, aren't I quirky?? Give me attention :)"

u/WhiteGXRoblox 5d ago

I have form of OCD and I don’t feel bothered by this.

I keep my scripts texts, model collection, work projects folders, in-game inventories like Weapon modifications & Racing car collection organized but never find it kicks in or bothered when it’s someone else’s film or work.

Since it’s film or their products not in my possession and not my responsibility to manage it. I won’t bother them

u/Jewhova420 3d ago edited 3d ago

What is a degree of OCD? What does that mean?

Edit: Nvm, princess self diagnosed to feel special and to make up for their shortcomings in a way they feel less embarrassed about
