does everyone censor what they say?

i was friends with a guy who has ocd and his main triggers were talking about illness or sickness, spiders or death and because of that i kinda scripted in my brain everything i said or did so i wouldn’t trigger him. if i watched a movie and they mentioned a thing that triggered him i would note in my head to never tell him to watch it. if i wanted to watch a series with him i would keep note of which episodes mentioned any of his triggers.

one time we watched hunger games and before it i spent so long researching if it mentioned anything that would trigger him. i remember when my grandmother passed away i was so terrified to tell him because i was so scared he would get triggered.

when my grandmother died it became more prominent around my mother too because it was her mother. if i was listening to music out loud or watching a movie and it mentioned anything to do with parents or death i would talk over it or distract her when i didnt need to do that, she isnt a child.

i used to do it with people at school, i couldn’t mention showering, bathing, eating or clothes because i am not skinny meaning if i say “oh i showered yesterday” that might make them think of my body because being naked is a big part of showing obviously.
