I was scrolling on insta and I saw a post of a kid, I felt a sense of attraction, idk if it was false or not. I hope it was, I got worried and the kid kept popping up in my head, I kept trying to stop it because I canāt stand not doing anything and feeling attracted, I donāt wanna be attracted to kids, im fucking tired of having to deal with all of this every day. I canāt tell if it is real or false attraction, all of this is so annoying, I canāt even listen to music properly without feelings of attraction showing up. Iām not able to tell if itās false attraction or not anymore at all, it feels way to real to know, I keep hoping that itās all false, and I hope that I have pocd not actual pedophilia because I was never disgnosed, I was also exposed to porn at a young age, and Iām worried it causes pedophilia. Please help me with these attraction feelings I canāt tell if theyāre real or not anymore. I canāt even tell if Iām distressed, panicked, disgusted, or shamed. I donāt feel any of those feelings anymore, idk why, idk how to deal with this stuff anymore, I donāt even know if I have ocd or not, Iāve only ever gotten one short diagnoses that said I have ocd but I lied on 2 questions about feeling arousal which I do, idk why, and the other about liking the thoughts, which I said I didnāt, but in reality I donāt know if I do or not.
Also only certain kids trigger the attraction feeling, it makes me worried Iām a pedo because itās only certain kids that cause it, kind of like a ātypeā (edited)
