I'm not sure I'd agree, "Intrusive thoughts" can happen to anyone for example, and it doesn't mean you're a bad person because you literally cannot control them. But what you can control, is acting/listening to those thoughts or not, which for me would be the important part.
An intrusive thought is not necessarily a bad one. Bad thoughts are those that are counter-productive and should be avoided. e.g. self loathing, hatred, paranoia and many more.
> it doesn't mean you're a bad person
Nobody suggested that.
> you can control, is acting/
One's thoughts can also be controlled to a large degree. This is why people practice meditation, affirmations, cultivation of wisdom, gratitude etc.
