Not to give assurance and not to lessen these thoughts, but what if you told your mind and accepted that it is “ok” to be whatever your mind is telling you might like, but then say to yourself, I understand these thoughts coming forward, but “I choose to be with who I am most comfortable with, and that’s the way I’m running my life”. You have provided a workable answer with no more questioning the thoughts. The investigation is over, case closed. You can now move forward as you and answered the question.
This totally happens to me. I am literally crying about the part of losing attraction to guys. Now i can’t even find a good looking guy and picture myself with one. I feel like I am never going to find a guy that I love because I am going to end up gay or asexual. This hurts so bad. I just want to have my old mindset back where I used to think a girl was pretty and not think much of it. My head hurts from all the thoughts and crying. I really don’t know what to do
Same here! Me too! I feel like I must be either gay or asexual! What is that?! I woke my boyfriend up this morning cause I was crying about it too!
It’s horrible. It’s like a part of you creates fake memory saying what if you’ve always been like this. When you know you haven’t because when the thoughts started it felt brand new, but the thoughts are much harder to dismiss.
Mike, that was genius.
i think i might be developing sexual orientation ocd because i identify as a lesbian but when i was a kid i only ever crushed on guys. im starting to wonder if i just had hocd the entire time and believed the thoughts so hard that i tricked myself into thinking im gay. but i really don't wanna be straight ?
I'm in a weird position rn...I don't really fear discovering that I'll be a bisexual because that makes me think that I can be with men then and that if I turn out to be bisexual I still wouldn't date women...it's the fear of being a lesbian that's predominant in my hocd but lately my mind tells me that since I don't fear being bisexual that much I might be one and since a few weeks whenever I come across the word bisexual it feels like I'm happy or something but I don't want to be ...I just want to be straight...does this happen? I don't know if what I said makes sense.
i keep seeing people on here saying they never questioned their sexuality before and it makes me sick because i have and this is further proof that i am in denial. i questioned it though not because i liked a girl, but because i fit a lot of those stereotypes and started believing tiktoks saying stuff like "if you do this you're bi" or "if you like this you're bi" and some of them applied that's why i thought i was bi, but even then i didn't fantasize about girls and didn't feel like i was truly bi. but this makes me sick to the stomach. this doesn't feel like hocd anymore, it just feels like i am struggling with my sexuality and i hate it. i just please i don't want to like girls or be with girls please :(
