I’m starting to feel asexual now shit it feels so real ?

Yeah, happened to me too but it lasted a few days then back again on the same ish

Lol I used to tell myself girl be asexual better than being gay and I tried to but it didn’t work so just tell ur self imma be asexual and you’ll see shit is not real

It’ll fade away

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.

I had a asexual phase, it wasn’t that great ?. But there’s nothing

but I feel like in my case it’s possible. I don’t want to be asexual but wow i don’t think I could ever like guys again it feels too unreal

my anxiety is off the scale right now

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

not anymore

@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
