I think what happens is I see an attractive women and that is my normal so it feels natural (Even tho my ocd liked to tell me it’s forced) but if I see an attractive man I almost just assume that I’ll find them attractive, and then I ask myself “do you find them attractive?” And the answer is always “oh god yes…” followed by a chain of anxiety and dread. Like my attraction towards men doesn’t ever make me feel good, i have to ask myself “did that make you feel good? Later on and it always feels like a yes and then it’s again followed my anxiety

@Human Potential But sometimes it feels like the attraction to men is automatic. But then it’s really confusing because it’s normal to notice is anyone is ‘good looking’ so it feels like Because I notice that that I am attracted to them? If that makes sense?

@Human Potential I was happy and content. I really was, and all my family and friends could see it. I was in deep love and now when I look back my brain just says “nah yoh werent it was all just compulsive love”

What if you are not sure if it started from a thought or not? Sometimes I feel like it’s the feeling and then the thoughts as well, do you know what that might mean?

@ironmike I get what you’re saying, it’s like you have the feeling followed by the intrusive thoughts?

@ironmike What I mean by that is sometimes I notice that a man is attractive and then start getting Gronial responses which is after followed by the intrusive thoughts. Sometimes the order can be completely diffrent as well tho, as in intrusive thought first then groinal response etc…

Yeah definitely now more than ever. And now it’s started infecting my memories by convincing me I was never in love with my gf and was never attracted and was just caught up in it all. Even tho I know I found her attractive

False attraction
False attraction has been killing me ive had it for months with the same person. I have a boyfriend so having false attraction makes me feel so guilty. And lately theyve felt so real and ive been so anxious. What if I do like him bla bla. Ive only ever saw him as a brother and we have a good connection and he is one of my good friends but even sometimes when im having a conversation I feel like im cheating. Sometimes I get excited like oh yay he is gonna be here and then I get scared that it’s romantical because I get excited when he is around because he is a funny. Im so scared thats its real attraction because I love my boyfriend I would never do such a thing. And lately my minds done stuff like oh grab his attention stuff like that and it feels like I have done those actions but I dont want to. Sometimes when he is like idk sitting near Im like oh is he looking and my minds like oh do something to empress him bla bla. Recently he was going thought stuff and my boyfriend was there and I was I can give him a hug because I think he needs it but after I thought of it as bad because he is a guy and I had this false attraction what if I did it because I like him bla bla. I am freaking out idk why my mind makes me do compulsions that I have acted on like oh go talk to him and I do its weird urges that I do not want to do. I am scared that it will come true

YOUR EXPERIENCE IN FALSE ATTRACTION
Can anyone give their experience on FALSE ATTRACTION? At this moment, mine has become worse. Soon as I see a male my anxiety shoots up, I can feel this in my chest and my OCD is telling me I’m attracted. But I continue to look back or stare and the disgust comes over me and my body shakes and I feel my face screw up. I can’t listen to music I use too or watch movies which was a favourite thing of mine to do. I just feel disgusted and not who I am when it happens. It’s like a different me. P.S. I had a very good week few days ago where I knew this wasn’t me and these feelings/ thoughts isn’t me.
