Is it possible to have ‘false realisation’? Because sometimes I feel so convinced that I’m gay and that I’ve just realised it. :/

Yep, kind of like this "aha" moment, lightning bolt to the chest, stomach flip. It feels like something massive has suddenly dawned on you, like you've solved a complex puzzle. It's such an awful feeling because it illicits such a strong anxiety response.

It really does, it’s so hard for it to not feel so incredibly real when this happens

Is it necessary to have anxiety during those? Ive had far too many realisations like that, the first couple ones shocked me, I did have anxiety but nowadays they are so common to me, Id be walking out of my bathroom or driving and id have a set of thoughts and id Realize that im gay, no anxiety either
