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!

False attraction
False attraction has been killing me ive had it for months with the same person. I have a boyfriend so having false attraction makes me feel so guilty. And lately theyve felt so real and ive been so anxious. What if I do like him bla bla. Ive only ever saw him as a brother and we have a good connection and he is one of my good friends but even sometimes when im having a conversation I feel like im cheating. Sometimes I get excited like oh yay he is gonna be here and then I get scared that it’s romantical because I get excited when he is around because he is a funny. Im so scared thats its real attraction because I love my boyfriend I would never do such a thing. And lately my minds done stuff like oh grab his attention stuff like that and it feels like I have done those actions but I dont want to. Sometimes when he is like idk sitting near Im like oh is he looking and my minds like oh do something to empress him bla bla. Recently he was going thought stuff and my boyfriend was there and I was I can give him a hug because I think he needs it but after I thought of it as bad because he is a guy and I had this false attraction what if I did it because I like him bla bla. I am freaking out idk why my mind makes me do compulsions that I have acted on like oh go talk to him and I do its weird urges that I do not want to do. I am scared that it will come true

YOUR EXPERIENCE IN FALSE ATTRACTION
Can anyone give their experience on FALSE ATTRACTION? At this moment, mine has become worse. Soon as I see a male my anxiety shoots up, I can feel this in my chest and my OCD is telling me I’m attracted. But I continue to look back or stare and the disgust comes over me and my body shakes and I feel my face screw up. I can’t listen to music I use too or watch movies which was a favourite thing of mine to do. I just feel disgusted and not who I am when it happens. It’s like a different me. P.S. I had a very good week few days ago where I knew this wasn’t me and these feelings/ thoughts isn’t me.
