I’m scared I’m a p3do.
I just got immense anxiety. I have OCD and I’m a 19 year old gay male I just wanna say first. Basically, two months ago I was watching a tv show, and there was this like 11-12 year old (I don’t really know how old he was) boy who I just noticed beauty in, and it was in this moment my Pedophilia OCD started. I started thinking ”was I attracted to this 11 year old?”, and I got immense anxiety. But then I googled and did research and found out about POCD, and that you can obviously notice beauty in a kid without being attracted to them, like a parent telling their kid they are pretty or handsome doesn’t mean they are attracted to their own kid. So, today I went back to look at this kid to check whether I was attracted or not, basically checking compulsion, and then this whole weird situation happened. Basically, I googled the guy and went to pictures and I first saw a picture of the guy, and I thought ”no I am not attracted, I am just noticing beauty, there is nothing weird about that”. But then in the title of the picture, it said ”season 3”. So I assumed that picture of him was in season 3, and then I googled how old he was today, and he was 23 years old today, and season 3 of this show was filmed in May 2016. Which would mean he was 16 years old. Then it got all weird, because then I got so confused, because obviously there is nothing weird about a 19 year old just being attracted to a 16 year old, it is a different thing if I were to date a 16 year old which I never would want to. So then this all got so confusing, because that picture of him I saw then I assumed was in season 3 which meant that he was 16 years old in that picture. But what was so confusing was that he didn’t look 16, he looked younger, but I started being able to see 16 in him. Like the more I looked at the pic the more I could see him being 16. Then it all got weird, because when I first saw the picture I didn’t find myself attracted to him because he looked to be 12, but then when I saw ”season 3” in the title, which would mean he was 16, it all got so weird. But then later I googled how he looked in season 3, and he looked older than in the other picture, so the other picture of him I saw that had the title ”season 3” was not in season 3, it was in maybe season 1 or 2. So the title was wrong and said ”season 3” when it was in season 1 or 2. And now I got immense anxiety, because it was all sooo confusing for my brain. Because it went from ”no I am not attracted to him, I am just noticing beauty, that is not the same as being attracted to someone” to ”wait, he is 16 in this picture? so I can be attracted to this guy… wait what, so am I?” to ”wait, no, he isn’t 16 in this picture, he is 12”. It was all so confusing and I am scared I was attracted to a 12 year old. Now I am scared I was attracted to the guy. But it is all so weird and confusing, because it was as if when I saw ”season 3” and thought he then was 16 in the picture it was like my brain tried to tell me that ”yes you can be attracted to him, he is 16”. It is all just so confusing right now and I feel so anxious I don’t know what to do. This is such a weird thing that just happened. I feel so depressed right now and as if I don’t deserve to live.
