    Thoughts = literally any thought

    Intrusive thoughts = the type of thoughts we don’t particularly want to think because they make us uncomfortable, but they intrude into our stream of consciousness either way.

    It’s called being descriptive, and it lets people know exactly what kind of thought you’re referring to by adding a simple adjective before the word.

      My stream of consciousness picks things up, not has things fall into it.

      It’s a matter of perspective.
