Yeah I felt the same, I figured it was more like a defense mechanism. When I felt that way, I was like "you know I'd rather be ace in this case" I was scared because I don't want to he asexual either but it was kind of relieving then I got "You can be asexual and still gay" and I freaked out again but that made understand that I 100% don't want to be romantically involved with someone of same sex. So-ocd wants you to be everything but your actual sexuality. That's how dumb it is. You can't wake up one day gay, another one asexual and then pansexual

thank you so much. but i was reading (compulsions ik D:) online and a lot of people wrote about them used to liking this and becoming this. Like example: I used to like guys at 13/14 but at 15 I became lesbian. Or: I don’t want to be asexual but I became/am one. Things like this which throw off my logic :/

I read those things as a compulsion all the time but technically it's not even possible. Because you can't become another sexuality because of ocd, those people didn't wake up one day and said "Damn well I'm gay now", sexuality is not like changing hair color. I may decide tomorrow I don't want blonde hair anymore, but you can't force on yourself a sexuality you are not. I used to be anxious over this even before I had hocd, while it's natural selection for those who are. It's a flight fight response, we attach emotion to them that's why we are freaked out.

And same I used to think that would’ve been better than being lesbian but now actually fearing it I don’t want it because it makes the realization of not liking guys anymore become more of a fact D:

thank you @notfortalk, very strong claims. I just get way too much in my head. I feel sometimes there’s a possibility I can be normally straight, maybe that’s me deep down trying to reach to the surface to let me know it’ll be okay, but soon enough it’s covered by the suffocation of ocd and it makes me doubt and depressed all over again. Assuming my libido is just hiding with so much weight on top that it doesn’t work

@chou_tzuyu13 are you still asexual?

Yeah I know how it feels, I'm in the same boat. But all of this is just bull, we're just victim of a stupid illness that wants to weigh us down. And the best we can do is let ourselves feel all the frustration instead of bottling it up

@ocdsucksbutt, not anymore, I’ve had a lot of LGBT phases. It turns out I was straight but curious. Being asexual is lonely but it’s relieving. But I’m still straight

When I was half asleep today, trying to wake up, my brain kept asking me if I thought this picture of my friend was attractive, I kept replying with “ maybe, I don’t know, I really can’t tell” .. or… “ I feel like I do” “ maybe I do” “ I feel like I might” ,, and then I’m like wait she’s 13 in these pictures, I’m not sure if I was aware of it, but still, it doesn’t matter, I’m still saying it and I’m like “why am I saying this??” I generally don’t know how I feel anymore, I don’t wanna be a bad person, I just don’t understand why I think this is play to say, or feel?? Maybe because my brain is trying to justify it? It tries to justify everything wrong, so makes it feel like it so it makes it harder… I feel like a genuine bad person, because I don’t know how I feel about it, I really don’t know, I’m scared does it mean I’m a bad person? Because I don’t know how I feel about it. I asked myself if I’m genuinely attracted. And I don’t know anymore. Because I don’t know how I feel about it anymore, I feel like my brain is playing a part in it because it tries to tell me that it’s not wrong. Yes it is wrong though but it’s like no it’s not wrong, It makes me really scared. I generally feel like I’m attracted to her and that I have nothing against it and I don’t know what to do anymore., some people may argue that it’s not wrong, but I believe it’s wrong. So I have no idea why I fucking said that. I genuinely think it’s over. I don’t know if I actually am anymore. I asked myself do I actually feel attraction, because i used to go to a conclusion and say no I don’t. And actually feel that way. But now I don’t feel anything but like pain. Because I don’t want to be. At the same time I feel like I just lied and I do want to feel attraction. I just wanna explain how I feel but I can’t. All I know and what I can explain, is that when my brain was asking me these things I said “ I feel like I might maybe I do I can’t tell “ and why did I say that to a 13-year-old? Why? And why am I still saying it even after realizing that maybe I shouldn’t be saying it. I’m 16 for goodness sake. I don’t wanna think about these things. My brain is making me feel like I do and I do and I’m like I’m so confused.

Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard

Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?
