Can anybody somewhat relate?
I’ve freaked out before when i dyed my hair purple and pink because I thought it would make people think I was bisexual since it was not only the colors of the bi flag but also because colorful hair has now been seen as a very common characteristic of people thag are bi/lesbian. I also sometimes freak out because of what i wear. Ever since I was a kid I always dressed pretty tomboy, now older ive started to dress (naturally, not forced) more feminine but still will dress tomboy here and there. And now, when i dress more tomboy-like i get scared that people will think I am bi/lesbian by how i am dressed. I know I shouldn’t and I should just dress however I want but it’s not that easy because I start getting these intrusive thoughts that then make me wanna change what i’m wearing just out of fear. I wanna also state that my own sister has told me that she and my family used to think I might’ve been lesbian due to me dressing pretty tomboy in my early years which used to not trigger me but now i feel it adds to my HOCD thoughts.
