Extrusive Thought
An extrusive thought is a belief or mental narrative that originates outside the individual—i.e. culture, institutions, economics, or social systems—and becomes unconsciously internalized & experienced as a personal belief, even in conflicts with one’s values, biology, or well-being. Unlike intrusive thoughts (unwanted, distressing thoughts that feel foreign), extrusive thoughts are ego-syntonic: they feel normal, realistic, and unquestionable because they are socially rewarded. Their harm is not loud or immediate, but slow and corrosive—showing up as chronic anxiety, burnout, compulsive striving, identity confusion, moral injury, and disconnection from embodied reality. Extrusive thoughts prioritize abstractions over lived experience and function as normative mental occupiers, quietly shaping self-worth, behavior, and life direction while remaining culturally invisible. Key traits: • External origin (culture, capitalism, nationalism, romantic myths) • Unconscious internalization (enculturation, introjection, reward) • Feels “normal” or “just how things are” • Directs behavior and self-judgment • Pathogenic over time Contrast: Intrusive thoughts violate the mind from within. Extrusive thoughts violate the mind from without. Examples: • “My worth equals my productivity.” • “Money represents real value, not a shared fiction.” • “Borders reflect natural human divisions.” • “One partner should meet all my needs.” • “Criticizing my country is criticizing me.”
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Ur momgay Very cool it is. mmmmmh very much I like.
Every Aspect of my Order (as First-Time customer) was actually very good, nice. .I ordered a white drinking mug with a Red background with text. would recommend this Site again.

Like the mug for my daughter, but didn’t notice that I had color choices when checking out. The yellow was pre-set so I got that color. Would much rather have selected a different color.
Cute, well-made mug! Exactly like the photo. I can't wait to give this as a gift this Christmas!
The description of a person by their names is the realest I’ve ever come across
Mug looks great and everything is spelled correctly.
I love my mug! 💘

My coworkers see all the cups I order from you, and this one is already one of their faves
Just what I expected. Merchandise looked just like it did online. Showed my friends and even they loved the cup! Plan on ordering more merchandise from you guys. Thanks. KLDS
Astounding Mug. I found this Mug in a dark time, the time when I needed a mug the most. I went onto google.net and found this truly amazing piece of craftsmanship. Manny Heffley came out of my computer and started to gyrate, before hopping out completely and eating my asshole. It felts so good, I started shaking and moaning, rapidly convulsing on the floor. Manny Heffley slowly crawled into my, hiding in my womb in order to store his power for 12 months and evolve to the form of "Baby 2". Thank you, Urban Dictionary. This mug changed my life.
Looks great and quick delivery
very good quality, wasn’t broken or anything and was a good gag gift !
I gave it to her today. And she loved it said it was her to the T
The Printing wasn't very sharp, but it's good enough.
It was a surprise gift for someone and she absolutely loved it!
