Anyone else?
Does anyone else start to overthink about being gay/lesbian in your head but as soon as you say it out loud ‘im a lesbian’ it just doesn’t feel right and feels like im joking about?

It just feels silly, or feels like nothing
Yes, during and OCD episode I was very distraught and could barely function. My friend was asking what’s the matter and do I want to leave my family and then asked if I’m gay. I’ve never been attracted to a man, but my mind wouldn’t let go of why he would ask this. I then started focusing on every movement I made and every word to check of it was “manly.”
Yes
Yes, definitely. I say my thoughts out loud in front of a mirror 🪞 and it makes me realize how ridiculous it sounds to be so worked up over that when it’s totally harmless.
@blazed Yess or when i look at my camera and say it out loud it just feels like im joking and that im not a lesbian but when im overthinking it in my head it feels so real
Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please
I started having intrusive thoughts about my sexuality when I got into a relationship with my ex and I wondered if it would seemingly go away but it hasn’t and I find myself ruminating about it constantly especially before or during my period. Has anyone else felt with this?
So I identify as a lesbian and I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful girl. But i’m stressing that I have crushes on boys I go to school with. I get anxious around them, which I think I mistake for excitement. I obsess over it in my head which confuses me a lot. Idk I also never think about them sexually or romantically but I think about them often which is scaring me. Any advice?
