Yes. I hate thoose deep and strong beliefs. "The one." Have you ever think about how the one will make you feel instead of if your bf is the one? Because for me was a game changer! I realised how high and impossible were standards I used to put for men... like the one will ALWAYS make me feels great and happy. (How that can be even possible, every human beings have bad moments, how could he not have them, and also makes me feeling good in mine???). Or with the one I will never fight. (Impossible and unrealistic.) With the one, I will always feel the sparkle (reality isn't that, sparkles comes and goes) And I can go on and on!! Thoose are all standards that are unrealistic and impossible. And thoose are the standards that fed my rocd for months! My bf couldn't keep always with thoose impossibile standars (what a news); so I question myself if he is the one! An example. For some reason, I feel angry with my bf. My mind will tell me: with the one you should always be happy, so he is not the one. You should take distance and broke up with him. But in my heart I want to stay, so hey! Loads of anxiety and depression!

I'm sorry you have to experience that... the key is not answering. And not taking decision while flaring up! I'll tell you this! Let's picture an hypothetical situation. You have a doubt right, let's say it's "do I love him enough?" You start to search for answer. Maby you check your feelings at the idea of him, you only feel anxious so you take this as a no. But then you remember how great was when you did something in past, so maybe yes, you love him. But again, you don't miss him at the moment, so ... nope! Than you would be sad; and you can't be sad for someone that isn't important for you, so yes you love him enough again!! See? For every option, you can find proofs. And you have too find proof for having an answer! So you will find an answer, but then you have to prove that this answer is true, by finding proof. But because there are proof for every option, you couldn't never be sure about an answer!! Even if you are, let's say the answer is "yess I love him enough, because I enjoy spending time with him" than more question will follow your answer !! "Do I really enjoy time with him?" "Is someone out there more enjoyable! And so on and on!! +THERE AREN'T ANSWERS FOR THOOSE QUESTIONS. "Does he really want me?" "Do I really want him?" "Will be happy together?" Etc... only future can answer!!! The only way to get out of this is to break the circle! To not answer, to accept that he could or couldn't be the one!

I’m like 90% sure I’m just bi, more romantically inclined to men, mainly my bf who I wanna marry. But now my brain is like “if you lean into liking women or keep circling and circling for answers you’ll lose all attraction to men and your bf. You’re practically already a lesbian” I feel so tense and anxious I will admit I am talking to chat gpt out of desperation I’m scared of losing all attraction to him I don’t wanna be thinking about women. I don’t unless I’m really stressed cuz when I’m stressed my ocd can take advantage of that I can usually ground myself when I’m in the city with him but I’m back home for most of the summer and I can’t 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 haven’t been here in a while tbh. I’m worried I don’t feel enough. I don’t like magic Mike all that much, I like softer guys. But now the fact I don’t like/get turned on by random men on tv but do women in lingerie really stresses me out and makes me worry I’m truly a lesbian but I’m not. Once I started getting to know my bf and my ex bf’s 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 “when he dies you’ll be able to date a woman, when you break up you’ll only wanna date women” and it’s stressing me out. It’s 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: I’ve 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 haven’t had my period since having it put in. I wanna go back to my bf so badly rn. I’m so worried I’m faking or don’t feel enough. I’m learning what a healthy relationship looks like and I’m terrified I’m gonna up and leave him when we’re older cuz I’ll finally figure out that I’m a lesbian or smthn. Idk. Someone pls just help me out a tad

I'm worried I'm gonna get hurt. There is a guy I'm talking to and we plan to hangout soon. We have been talking for awhile and have talked at school. I have a few ex boyfriends, two to be exact. One turned out to be awful, but I found out early on because a bunch of women came to me with their concerns of how he creeper them out and used to send them weird messages, he also for awhile would have people message me to get me BACK MONTHS LATER. My other ex was a good guy, but extremely shy and bad with expressing feelings. It didn't feel like I was his girlfriend. That being said I now kinda assume (mainly from the awful guy) that everyone is gonna turn out to be awful and that I can't trust my judgement. This guy I got now knew stuff about ocd already, loves horror movies and art like me, loves cat, good with kids and has a little brother, he remembers little things I say and sends me pretty pictures of the sky and forests when he is out, he warns me when he is sleepy incase he falls asleep when we are texting at night, he knows alot about mental health. He is everything I could want and I just can't believe it's real, that someone like this exists and out of all people LIKES ME. My brain is telling me he could secretly be racist or homophonic or a rapist and I just don't know. My friend who barely knows him and has never spoken to him before but is good at reading people says he is 9 out of 10 percent sure he isn't any of those things. which considering they have never talked or anything it's good. But idk I don't trust myself. I'm scared he will crush my heart. I went through his following on insta to look for people of other races and sexualitys. He follows a girl who is a friend of a friend of mine who is gay, the smosh account and Ian Hecox, he follows Good Mythical Morning and Link (idk why not rhett), and I once joked that I was better then him and he said we are all equal and has said things like he doesn't Haye anyone we were all babies once and stuff like that. I wanna trust my self and my friend but idk.
