I have started feeling the same thought and idk what to do about it can u help?Earlier it was jealousy competition and now feels like wow like them notice them want to be with them?!? How is this ocd?!? Everything points at me being in denial and some of my friends who are bi have it easy and me looking at them i am never as anxious anymore coming out videos as exposure doesn’t work and always was ocd i think i was just lying to myself i know i can do it easily and will like it and if j cry i will feel overwhelmed as to what am i coming to terms with not nervousness and that just proves it was never ocd but denial and i just lied to myself feeling like not looking at girls acting like I don’t feel anything cause i am scared and i want it to be not that but its true and i am just running away from it its like how you feel when you like a guy never accept it deny it and then boom and now i am not even interested in guys how can any of this be denial?!? Feels like I enjoy these thoughts and people with ocd compared to dont they hate it but it’s opposite with me and i am not even doing anything to to get better or to get help its as if i know it will never work and I don’t want it i am doomed there’s no way out of this ….will never tell my friends but will be i guess seems like a speech i am convincing myself with.. not being straight feels possible but with all these thoughts not being bi doesn’t feel possible…seems so possible to be with a girl i know this isn’t ocd right?! Who am i ?!! I am not straight right?! All this just can’t be that and if i am why does it feels like its a lie and unfair and I can’t accept it and all this says its not ocd. Pls help me i have officially lost myself…

It’s hard to say bc obviously I only started obsessing about what exactly my sexuality is because of SOOCD but I guess just looking back in my life and all, I do think women are attractive and sometimes I think I could be attracted to tomboys so while I still think I’m mostly straight, I think there could be a chance for me to be attracted to women. I’ve just made my peace with not knowing if this or when it would happen

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

My feelings are everywhere at the moment and i can’t think straight. I’ve recently started talking to a boy and I’ve met up with him twice. He’s a lovely guy and I think I do like him but idk if I’m attracted to him atm he’s not really my exact type and that’s what’s driving me crazy because what if I’m in denial about my “sexuality” and I’m lying to myself? And I’m panicking like mad because everything is going so fast that I can’t think straight. I’ve never really been in this situation before. He’s also being really kind to me and I know he likes me so his intentions are clear but that’s what’s scary, whenever he messages me now I feel overwhelmed 😭 If anyone has experienced this could you share your experience? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’ve been really anxious lately, and I just need to get this out of my head. Someone recently told me that maybe I’m bisexual — that I might be more sexually attracted to women, but more romantically attracted to men. That bisexuality is not 50/50. And ever since I heard that, I’ve been spiraling. The thing is: I don’t want this to be true. It scares me. I don’t feel romantic attraction to women, I’ve never wanted to be in a relationship with one. But yes, I get aroused by fantasies involving women — and that makes me feel broken or like I’ve been lying to myself. I love my boyfriend deeply, I don’t want to lose him. I want to feel fully connected to him, physically and emotionally. But now I’m stuck in this obsessive loop of questioning: “What if I’m just in denial?” “What if I’m not really straight?” “What if this is why my libido is low?” It’s exhausting, and I don’t know if this is OCD, anxiety, or if something is fundamentally wrong. Has anyone else felt this split — romantic feelings for one gender, sexual feelings for another? I feel so alone and scared. Thanks for listening.
