Scared
I'm getting like vutterflies to the same gender and I don't know if anxiety or something else but I'm scared.

Try and sit there with the fear. Don’t respond to it but kind of watch it. If you do this you will realize that these are just thoughts and the facts aren’t there to prove it!
I get that
OCD is cruel, and it will play many tricks on us. Our job is to try and sit with the anxiety and have a non-committal response to it. When OCD says you think this person is sexy, you can acknowledge the thought, but try not argue, just let the thought be there without judgment or response. It is not easy, but that is where ERP comes in handy. And our bodies can have all kinds of sensations, but it doesn't mean anything other than our bodies have these sensations. Everyone experiences those - it is those of us with OCD that want to attach a meaning to it. I hope this helps you.
