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.
So im basically just trying to find a answer to a pointless question because their is no answer?
Try your best not to check feelings. It only makes it worse. :(
So am i in denial
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.”
I literally have no reason to think this! I’ve never been attracted or had a crush on a girl! I don’t know why I keep worrying. All of the sudden I feel like my feelings for all my past crushes weren’t real. This sucks. I don’t know anything about myself anymore. It keeps trying to push this idea on my head. Like there is no reason for me to think that i am gay! The most possible “reason” would be finding women attractive, that’s it! But now I try to imagine my life partner and when I think of a guy a picture of a women quickly comes up. Sometimes I just wanna scream “I am gay” for no reason. Or when someone is talking about relationships I always think “I am different”. Or when someone talks about acceptance it really bothers me too. This is so bad, what am I even basing this idea on? Now, I it’s hard imagining a guy that I like, it’s weird. I feel like I am never going to like anyone again. Ugh this is draining me
It’s like I get anxiety towards any girl now. This feeling of First, thinking they are pretty Then, getting these series of emotions I can’t describe but there’s a hole in my stomach Last, Anxiety. A lot of anxiety. Feels like I want to *date* them These “attractions” feel so real. Like in actually gay. It’s like nothing can convince I am not anymore. It feels too real. And when I see hot guys, i Can just acknowledge they are hot now. Nothing else. I really just want to cry. It feels as if I was always like this. But for some reason it feels like I lost a part of myself. Like I lost my interest in guys. . I’ll never be with a woman, but I don’t think I’ll ever even be with a guy. The only thing I feel is anxiety. They feel too real for ocd to be behind this all, for this to just not be... real.
i keep seeing people on here saying they never questioned their sexuality before and it makes me sick because i have and this is further proof that i am in denial. i questioned it though not because i liked a girl, but because i fit a lot of those stereotypes and started believing tiktoks saying stuff like "if you do this you're bi" or "if you like this you're bi" and some of them applied that's why i thought i was bi, but even then i didn't fantasize about girls and didn't feel like i was truly bi. but this makes me sick to the stomach. this doesn't feel like hocd anymore, it just feels like i am struggling with my sexuality and i hate it. i just please i don't want to like girls or be with girls please :(
