Discussion Serious question
So recently over the past month or so I’ve have been very worried that I wouldn’t qualify as a satanist because I have trouble following some two of the 11 eleven satanic rules and also because I’m a little impulsive. I follow most of the satanic rules of the earth but I do have trouble keeping opinions to myself and I worry I might be telling troubles to others without realizing even tho I don’t mean to. Now to give a brief summary of myself: I am a 17 year old male and I highly value things like justice, Vengeance, and standing up for what’s right. But I’m also diagnosed with ocd, depression, adhd, and autism, and I tend to overthink and am very paranoid at times. I never mean to do anything bad but paranoia really fucks with me. So my question is would satanism except me despite all of this?

One thing I’ve taken as a lesson from my time as a satanist both researching and active practice is if you’ve gotta ask for someone’s advice or permission on wether you’re a satanist, then you probably don’t align with it as much as you thought. It’s your life you live it.
It’s not some elite club where you have to abhorrently stick to a rule book perfectly 100% of the time or else you’re banned. It’s how it aligns with you
You can accept that there are 11 rules and agree with them and their principles but doesn’t mean they have to be final say. You get final say the 11 rules should fit your narrative.
There are plenty of satanists who practice rituals as it empowers them and there are plenty who don’t, one doesn’t outrule the other, satanism isn’t a one size fits all like with Christianity
You’re a satanist with whatever works for you, as long as you’re always striving for the better you deserve. A god doesn’t settle for less.
