To me you seem very heterosexual (not reassuring you just a genuine observation.) For what itās worth, as a bisexual girl, I really donāt think itās possible to āloseā attraction for one gender over the other like I thought I did at one point, so at least thereās that: your attraction to males will never go away no matter what, even if you really tried your hardest to stop liking them. Also I have never ever met a lesbian/bisexual woman who ever felt anything remotely like the way you do. So thatās something else that at least sets you apart from women who arenāt straight.

I really appreciate that. And kind a needed to hear it. Thank you I feel like and Iām not trying to be weird but sometimes I feel like my heterosexuality is probably more obvious to other people than it is to me and itās very strange sensation lol

@Bookworm91 Iām so glad I could help!!! :D And yeah I donāt think OCD would make you stress out and obsess over whether or not youāre straight like this if you werenāt straight. I know that OCD basically attacks whatever the most important things are to you.

@Bookworm91 Personally, Iām comfortable complimenting the appearance/clothes of both girls and guys who I have no attraction to. If I wasnāt able to compliment other peopleās appearances without it being a form of flirting etc then I wouldnāt be able to compliment anyone haha. Also I used to be super self conscious about my looks and would be jealous of other prettier girls in high school, so noticing the beauty of other women is also common for that reason.

I wonāt explain this again if youāve been or going through it you know what Iām talking about. I felt good about women about an hour ago and now Iām worrying again Iām anxious and the groinals are back and itās so annoying because I canāt study. And honestly Iām so sick and tired of this. Iāve been a girl crazy my whole life and my mind randomly decides āwell what if you are gayā like bro. Iāve never seen a guy that way and in general IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT OR ASSOCIATED MYSELF WITH. IVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING TOWARDS A MAN AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT RANDOMLY FLIPPED. I CANT DO THIS BRO. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INSECURITIES ALREADY AND MY ATTRACTION WAS THE ONLY REAL THING I HAD LEFT AND NOW THIS. HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE ME GOD.

Iām like 90% sure Iām just bi, more romantically inclined to men, mainly my bf who I wanna marry. But now my brain is like āif you lean into liking women or keep circling and circling for answers youāll lose all attraction to men and your bf. Youāre practically already a lesbianā I feel so tense and anxious I will admit I am talking to chat gpt out of desperation Iām scared of losing all attraction to him I donāt wanna be thinking about women. I donāt unless Iām really stressed cuz when Iām stressed my ocd can take advantage of that I can usually ground myself when Iām in the city with him but Iām back home for most of the summer and I canāt be physically close to him which usually reminds me that hey this is real this is what I really want in life. Him But then I panic and question I havenāt been here in a while tbh. Iām worried I donāt feel enough. I donāt like magic Mike all that much, I like softer guys. But now the fact I donāt like/get turned on by random men on tv but do women in lingerie really stresses me out and makes me worry Iām truly a lesbian but Iām not. Once I started getting to know my bf and my ex bfās I really did truly genuinely like them and wanted to make out and everything. Idk can anyone relate to the not liking big buff men All my brain is repeating rn is āwhen he dies youāll be able to date a woman, when you break up youāll only wanna date womenā and itās stressing me out. Itās making me nauseous. I was doing well for about a couple days after I initially left but being at home has been so incredibly draining This might give you a vision of how stressful home is: Iāve been on nexplanon for 7 months ish? Only had very minimal spotting during a stressful school period. Today: fully bleeding, like a usual period. I havenāt had my period since having it put in. I wanna go back to my bf so badly rn. Iām so worried Iām faking or donāt feel enough. Iām learning what a healthy relationship looks like and Iām terrified Iām gonna up and leave him when weāre older cuz Iāll finally figure out that Iām a lesbian or smthn. Idk. Someone pls just help me out a tad

Hey everyone, Iām reaching out because Iāve been going through one of the hardest mental spirals of my life, and Iām hoping someone can relate or shed light on whatās happening to me. About 4 months ago, I accidentally came across a trans porn scene. It didnāt do much at the time, but later it triggered this overwhelming intrusive thought: āWhat if Iām gay?ā Since then, itās been absolute hell. Iāve always been into womenāemotionally, sexually, everything. Iāve been in a long-term relationship with a girl I love deeply. But after that moment, my brain started spiraling into nonstop analysis. I began checking how I felt around men, whether I felt attraction, whether I was in denial, whether I was lying to myself. Literally everything became a test. I got stuck in this loop: ⢠A thought pops in ā panic ⢠Try to solve it ā brief relief ⢠Another thought ā worse panic ⢠Repeat. At times, it got so bad I couldnāt feel anything at allātoward my girlfriend, toward women, toward myself. I started doubting everything. Some days, I feel emotionally flat, like Iāve lost my personality. Other days, I wake up with a full-body jolt of ātruthā like āIām definitely gayāāonly for it to fade into numbness again. Iāve also noticed that I get short bursts of peace when I stop reacting, but then the fear comes back louder, like āSee? Now youāre accepting it. That means itās true.ā Therapy hasnāt helped much so farāit felt more like general counseling. They told me to sit with the thoughts, but didnāt clarify if this was OCD, identity questioning, or trauma. That just made it worse because now Iām back to thinking āWhat if Iām just rejecting my truth?ā Iām exhausted. Iāve lost connection to everything I used to love. ⢠I want to love my girl again the way I used to ⢠I want to feel desire without overthinking ⢠I want to trust myself again Iām not looking for reassuranceāI just want to know if anyone else has gone through something like this, and if this sounds like HOCD or identity OCD. Thanks for reading.
