okay this is the 3rd time i’ve posted about comphet since i read about it for the first time yesterday. It’s so hard because it seems like so many of the symptoms of comphet are so similar to the symptoms of soocd. Like i was reading the signs of comphet and i felt like i could relate to some of them but only since i started having this ocd theme. Like i don’t think i felt that way before the ocd. But then again i’m worried cuz what if it isn’t ocd and it’s just been comphet all along. if anything maybe i’m bi but i don’t think i just don’t like boys at all. but now i don’t know because if i relate to any of the comphet things than that must mean something. Also reading about comphet didn’t even make me anxious so what does that mean. like it made me uncomfortable and i couldn’t stop reading about it because i was just trying to find an answer. but it didn’t make me anxious which is scary

but it makes me anxious when i think about needing to break up with my boyfriend. That makes me so sad because i don’t want to break up with him. I love him so much but it’s making me feel like the love i have for him could be something else and not romantic attraction. i’m so tired of this i feel so guilty i just want to be with him and not worry

I will not allow myself down the comphet rabbit hole. I think it will destroy me. When I'm with my girlfriend I feel very good like it all makes sense. Then when I'm without her, or we have a disagreement, or I'm high anxiety it's like I have to be gay in order to relieve the anxiety. I was doing pretty good for awhile but have fallen back into a spike the past couple of days.

Hey do you mind if I ask what signs you related to? I felt like I related to some as well, so I’m freaking out.

yeah so i don’t remember a lot of them rn and i don’t wanna go back and look cuz it’ll just freak me out again lol but i’ll try to remember. Basically i’ve just always been a really big supporter of lgbtq like i’ve always been an ally which it just said that that could be a sign. also it says that u confuse feelings of really just wanting to be a boys friend with romantic feelings. personally i don’t think it’s that i want to be there friend it’s just that i feel like i always want to be protected and comforted by a man so i’m scared that that’s all i want and i’m not really romantically attracted to them. I saw a video of someone saying they thought they liked guys but they really just wanted a guy there to protect them when in reality they didn’t really like boys. It’s just hard to get past that because it seems like it could be true. I know there were other ones but i can’t remember rn. If u wanna share what stuff u relate to we can talk about it. It’s nice to know people are going through the same thing!

also i just remembered one more. All my life i feel like anytime a guy was nice to me in any way and i thought they were cute i would be attracted to them or i would feel like it was always flirtatious even if they were just being nice. I know that could be from many things like i could just have been having a lack of attention at the time which i wanted i guess but i saw that it said if you just assume every kind of feeling u have towards a guy is romantic then u could be comphet
