I read before that when you’re experiencing false attraction you’ll feel anxious and depressed about it, however if it was real attraction you won’t feel these negative emotions, you will feel happy about it Remember that OCD attacks your high values and your true self, if you’re having annoying unwanted thoughts about being attracted to men, then that means you are straight, because if you were actually attracted to men, OCD won’t trigger that for you Hope this is helpful

@DGP-rider555 I’m not really sure tbh cuz I’m also still struggling with it, but I think when I have false attraction I always deny it and start to argue about it in my head and feel the urge to prove it’s wrong and whenever I see the person I’m having false attraction on I feel anxious and I just want to avoid them, but when I’m really attracted to someone, I feel happy and at peace and I look forward to meet them and I don’t have the urge to deny it cuz I actually love this feeling Remember that OCD may trick you that you actually love that false attraction and enjoying it, the key is not to argue with OCD thoughts and just be like “yeah whatever, maybe maybe not”, trick your mind that you don’t care about it and the thoughts won’t be as strong as it used to be

@DGP-rider555 Whenever you find yourself stuck in a loop in your mind, know that it’s OCD and not real attraction

@Mr. Solo Dolo Shaking head and denying are compulsions that will make your OCD worse, I know it’s hard to stop them but you gotta do your best

I agree w/ everyone on this thread and to add my false attraction jumps from person to person. I get intrusive thoughts about multiple women and when I have crushes it’s usually one at a time/ long-lasting. Sometimes my thoughts will be like you’re going to marry this girl or I force myself to imagine sex w/ them

@Mr. Solo Dolo Literally last night I saw this girl I knew of at a party and when I went to sleep my thoughts were raging about thoughts about her. I only saw her for like 2 minutes it’s just insane 😭 in reality we know what we go through is irrational but it still feels real at the same time… I haven’t felt like myself in a long time. Or at least who I think I am

I kind of want to know what attraction ocd is capable of creating in terms of false attraction because I'm feeling like I notice it all except for romantic
