its always weird to answer questions like these because i KNOW what you are currently seeking is reassurance. you want as many people as possible to tell you that whatever it is you fear happening to you is not possible. it is a very important step in your recovery that you learn to recognize when a fear, a question, an emotion stems from OCD and to try your best not to give into them. generally speaking, we all tend to know what or whom we actually like, but asking and receiving this answer will not solve your fear.

the question you have to ask yourself is why this presumed attraction seems to scare you, sexuality is a strange topic nobody has really Figured out yet. you havent given any specification what or who you think you are attracted to, if you are comfortable with sharing these details im sure i could be of more help! if not thats understandable, you shouldnt step out of your comfort zone for some rando on the net!

Advice, pls?
So, yesterday while I was laying in bed, I was relaxing when suddenly I had an intrusive thought about someone, but the thing is that it brought me a sense of enjoyment or calmness for a few seconds before it went away. Once it did, it was only until hours later when I realized what had happened and I began to freak out because I'm reading everywhere that when someone experiences this type of thing, the anxiety happens shortly after the enjoyment or "false" enjoyment. Can OCD do this?

Can intrusive thoughts come with false emotions?
I’ve asked this before and got no response but can ocd try to make you feel a certain way that you don’t actually feel? Such as telling you you’re jealous or upset in a situation when you don’t even care or feel that way at all. Can ocd cause you to feel the emotion along with the intrusive thought even though it’s not your true feelings?
