Cognitive Dissonance ? meaning - The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, esp. as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

All the fools who believed in the end of the world crap!

Will now substantiate their viewpoint by vouching for Cognitive Dissonance?

Is that correct or is that BS too?
 
OCD - Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning; repeated checking; extreme hoarding; preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts; relationship-related obsessions; aversion to particular numbers; and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing a door a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room. These symptoms can be alienating and time-consuming, and often cause severe emotional and financial distress. The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and potentially psychotic. However, OCD sufferers generally recognize their obsessions and compulsions as irrational, and may become further distressed by this realization.

Don't get me wrong, but if you tried understanding the core point of this thread, then you would not made this comment. OP used "The end of world" topic as an instance for explaining the concept of cognitive dissonance far more elaborately. No disrespect to you, just stating my perception.

Cheers :)
