You will never figure out your sexuality based on a feeling in hour stomach. I hope you can recognize that this is clearly a compulsion. Testing the body for responses to stimuli in this way doesn’t work because your anxiety and OCD mess with the results. Focus on accepting the stomach feeling and letting it pass. Don’t analyze it, try to suppress it, or look to it as a sign. It’s just a weird and uncomfortable feeling you got. And you can’t really know exactly what it meant.

Try your best not to check feelings. It only makes it worse. :(

Basically you’re using a flawed test to solve a flawed question. Checking is just another compulsion that will never give you the answer you want (emotions weren’t meant to be scrutinized in this way and they perform differently under direct observation like this) so repeating it again and again is only hurting and confusing you further. Let the thoughts and feelings happen. Accept that they’re there, acknowledge them, and move on. Don’t perform mental compulsions to try to “figure it all out.”

For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if you’re gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?

Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared
