I think those people were always gay they just tried hiding it. I wouldn’t believe everything you hear on YouTube, people make stuff up all the time.

Hey you seem to have good advice could you help me too i saw this pretty girl on Instagram who is funny too and the thought that came which didn’t feel intrusive at all and felt like thats my truth and i just run away from it was that oh she’s funny and pretty nice person to date?!? Like someone straight would think nice person to be friends with but someone like me who i guess is in denial and not accepting it thought the former and i was like would i date her?!? Seems fun?!? Do i want to date her?!? And i should have said no if its ocd but I didn’t have an answer and it felt like even if there was one it would have been yes or it was and I don’t know how ocd can do this and not my denial cause it feels like i want it and also like if i say no to it or question it thats wrong and i am faking it cause that particular thought felt to real to be fake…

@Brave through Hi! So I’ve been 100% straight my entire life and in the beginning of this year when my ocd was the worst it’s ever been I randomly started getting groinal responses and major anxiety whenever I would see a pretty girl. At first I was terrified and thought I was turning into a lesbian, but then when I stopped caring if I was a lesbian or not the groinal responses and anxiety completely went away. Ocd only targets what we care about most, so if you’re terrified of being gay it’s going to try to cause doubt and make you think you’re gay, when you’re not. I recommend you just agree with the thoughts and try your hardest not to ruminate, the more you fight the thoughts the more they will appear. I know how scary these thoughts and feelings can be but they’re not real and literally don’t mean anything.

@Anxioushumanchels Idk its so hard to believe myself like i see you are confident in who you are but i feel like i dont even believe in what i am anymore and like this friend of mine who is completely straight has a habit of calling everyone baby and she did to me as well and i felt like i was ignoring what she was saying cause her saying baby which is the most normal thing for someone to say was affecting me and i was denying it because i might be feeling something and it felt like i was and i knew i was but still denying it and avoiding it cause i am scared?!? Idk how to eveb put it but i think it was real and it felt too real to deny it and then that feels like i do have something for the same sex cause thats why i am running from it and its like that just comes as proof and then this is such a small thing that too from someone who is straight now for someone who isn’t and says something more than this how will i react why do i feel as if i will like it or be okay with it cause a lot of my friends who aren’t staraight say things in joke i take it in joke but it pings me in ways where it feels like i want it and then what all this was a lie …?!? Sometimes it feels like I don’t even believe in ocd and this is just me in high denial… what do i do?!? Just earlier saying i never want these thoughts to coming to a point where i feel like i might want or like then what does that mean?!? Like what am i ?!! Am i even the straight girl i was once?!?

@Brave through Ocd is an intrusive feeling disorder, it will try to convince you of literally anything. It will cause fake groinal responses, weird thoughts and feelings in your head, etc. None of this is real. The problem is that you’re giving these thoughts and feelings so much energy and believing everything your ocd tells you. Whoever you were before the ocd is who you truly are, don’t let ocd convince you otherwise. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, I know it’s beyond confusing..

Seeking reassurance and ruminating will only make things worse.

This is killing me slowly day by day, im a straight female 20 years old, i started getting hocd after a break up with an ex and coming off intense use of 🍁🍃 for a few years on and off, i think it has messed up my brain so bad… my hocd is weird because ive been with men my whole life always wanted to be with men.. i also used to always question every relationship “do i love him? Does he love me? Am I with the right person?” Anyways after my hocd triggered my tocd due to researching hocd and finding they can often be linked, I started getting tocd and it’s worse then ever because it’s not who I want to be and I’m going back to situations where my abusive ex partner called me a “man” during a fight. I’ve always been a tomboy but never had same sex attraction. Help. This is killing me. I haven’t been able to study or leave the house most days, and work! I’ve lost motivation for everything and I’m in a dark hole. I need some success stories please

Hi,im a fourteen years old girl. I live in a homophobic country,and i dont have any experience. I grew up and became homophobic just like my family and my religion.but in 13 year old.i was questioning why lgptq is illegal?while they are just being them and can’t select what they are? So..i became an agnostic or atheist by secret.oh,by addition,before i became atheist i was making sure i don’t like women,like looking at women pics and imagine some romantic or sexual senarios just to find out,(and i wasnt feel anything and didnt like them),and i was happy and comfort for being straight (i was liking fictional men and some actors,within experience except an online male friend i liked but we didn’t date).but after being atheist,its like fire,i start developing HOCD,im not officially have that because I can’t have a therapist,but i have the Symptoms 100%. I didnt know whats hocd ,i find out whats it before a month.when i was struggling with it like 7 months,so,i think it started when i was in very close friendship with a girl in school,i was confused.if i liked her or not,i was imagining,questioning,making scenarios,but i couldnt have an answer,but then i was comfort to keep it just friendship.when the questions about her go,i can see her normally as a friend and i dont think of her or text her every day and it sometimes reaches months in summer holidays and its normally to me,no romantic acts about her,but then i had a new friend to the group and i had the same thoughts and questions to her.and now my brain questioning if i like them both😢.ok.this gone.this is before year,before being atheist.after being.i was questioning “do i like women?” Or when i see a fictional woman,i start to look at her and questioning myself and try to catch any feeling,i swear i would accept myself to be gay or bisexual,but i just can’t feel or accept that..i feel like burn.i cried and cried.it somedays turns so hard that I can’t even study or live normally.i also started to lose my attraction to men.i feel like its gone,I can’t now imagine being a man without getting uncomfortable,i miss the days when i was enjoying imagining kissing and sexing with a man.but,hocd,always reminds me i have no experience,and its all imaginary,so I don’t have a real clue from beginning that im straight.and i also read an girl experience with hocd and she became a lesbian at the end,i get so scary.it feels so real.i just wanna cry forever.im afraid that i will like a girl in the future,it chock me and burns.i hate this feeling.to thr god i dont know or believe in,please,if i like women,just let me feel it normally without this fear and hurting.i dont want to be gay.i dont want to like women.i dont want to be bisexual or lesbian.but if being any of those but comfort without this feeling that makes me wanna suicide.i would accept,please.just please,i even can’t get a therapist,even online,i just want help.please.i dont want to be like those girls that find out they liked women all the time,im scared,i miss my old feelings and trusting.i hate this.i just want to die if its mean hocd to go.i feel like its so real and i will love a girl no way in hell future.i even feel its not wrong to like women,like its much better and more soft that men,but i just can’t.I can’t.i dont know,i did everything.i gave myself permission to find out or explore my attraction to the both genders but it hurts me more.i dont want to get hurts again anymore.just remembering i have no experience or clue i like men even if in past felt like i would like and date a man and liven with him,i keep reminding its all was Based on imagination…even if i was wishing to love a man,hocd ruined this peaceful feeling,i was really find peaceful of loving a man.but now,i don’t feel like before,and this scares me,i don’t know what to do.I can’t have a therapist,and dont even know how to get better,,,
