Stupid
Literally now when I think of my past crushes, my head like "yeah, but it was fake or you forced it"

I can relate..
It's really annoying when it does that. And it keeps taking away every fact that I've had fro the beginning and doing this to it.
Omg I had this aswell! Ocd will attach itself to anything you feel strongly about and care for. Just remember how you felt when you had these crushes and you weren't dealing with heightened ocd, you can't fake the feelings without realising! Stay strong, you've got this 👍💗
That's the issue, I can't remember. It's been 6 months and I honestly can't remember at all how I felt. However, I do agree that you can't fake without realizing. Just like, I wasn't attracted to girls without realizing, which is also what it tells me.
@Meg Johnson You know you had these crushes as you are so aware now you don't have them. With your crushes you must have enjoyed seeing snd being around them or heaing about them and want them and have attraction towards them, if you didn't you probably wouldn't be wondering right now "oh no, what if it was all fake"
@EllieDuffy21 - Oh, yeah, I felt all of that. Only thing was sometimes when they showed interest back, I kind of ran away. But not from all. But I definitely was happy being around them and everything, I was nervous too. But I figured that's normal.
@Meg Johnson Omg yes I was always so normal and everytime a boy would talk to me who I had a crush on I would be trying my best to avoid it because I thought i would ruin it or say something I didn't mean
@EllieDuffy21 - I don't know if it was because I was worried about that too. I worry that I didn't like them and that's why I ran away. But tbh, I've always had an issue with emotional intimacy, even with my parents. I think that had something to do with it. Plus, I think I'm the kind of person to take it slow with.
@Meg Johnson taking it is slow is such an easy and common thing to do. When I worried about my attraction to men being a complete lie my whole life I always remembered these things: - You can't fake feelings without knowing - a person has to actively change there views and values to other people and themselves to fake it and know they are doing it. YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW! - if you didn't fancy men, you would of never gravitated to their attraction more. I am presuming you have been attracted to people you know before or people you have seen. This shows you gravitate to men and you look for the men you fancy as that's best you are inclined too. - remember how you felt when you fancied someone, remember your behaviour remember your feelings and remember your thoughts! You've got this ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Me too
I just remember the day I got my first false memory. I was trying to recover and I all of a sudden had so much anxiety and got so many what ifs. Trying to remember something made me go downhill it was like it confirmed my fears. Ever since I've been finding tons of memories not even intentionally and it all seems to support this theme.
do u get a fear that after the intrusive feelings (false attraction) that you will Get romantic feelings after this all ends? because i do. especially bc i was hyperfixated on the guy in the past
False attraction has been killing me ive had it for months with the same person. I have a boyfriend so having false attraction makes me feel so guilty. And lately theyve felt so real and ive been so anxious. What if I do like him bla bla. Ive only ever saw him as a brother and we have a good connection and he is one of my good friends but even sometimes when im having a conversation I feel like im cheating. Sometimes I get excited like oh yay he is gonna be here and then I get scared that it’s romantical because I get excited when he is around because he is a funny. Im so scared thats its real attraction because I love my boyfriend I would never do such a thing. And lately my minds done stuff like oh grab his attention stuff like that and it feels like I have done those actions but I dont want to. Sometimes when he is like idk sitting near Im like oh is he looking and my minds like oh do something to empress him bla bla. Recently he was going thought stuff and my boyfriend was there and I was I can give him a hug because I think he needs it but after I thought of it as bad because he is a guy and I had this false attraction what if I did it because I like him bla bla. I am freaking out idk why my mind makes me do compulsions that I have acted on like oh go talk to him and I do its weird urges that I do not want to do. I am scared that it will come true
So I was fantasizing about my crush and when I was into my brother pops up or something and it makes me think I was turned on by him like I’m upset about that now
