I have both OCD and ADHD (officially diagnosed by a professional psychiatrist) and my OCD's been driving me crazy, I'm a very idealistic person and each time I try to start a new experience my brain only focuses on the negatives (for example if I want to start a new game or movie or book my brain only focuses on words I don't understand or mistakes made by the creators of the movie or game or book) so I start overthinking a lot and I eventually get to a state of hatred of that particular thing. I need some tips.

You should speak with a professional for proper coping mechanisms, since this sounds like a struggle.

Anywho, learn to relax.
Give meditation a shot and calm your brain down… or engage in something you find comforting to try distract yourself.

But that's the thing, each time I try to engage in a new experience I just focus on the negatives. I also have been struggling with my way of talking, each time I want to talk to someone I only focus on my way of talking because I don't want to be seen as "random" or weird, which actually makes me do mistakes while talking that I don't want to do. This issue has been improving lately and I've been trying to distract myself with things and just focus on having fun, but I'm still struggling from time to time
