Do I like her or is it my OCD? Opinions?
So I’ve heard that people with ocd are more prone to becoming obsessed with a person and it becomes a ocd cycle. And I’m struggling with that right now. I’ve made a best friend at the beginning of this year (long distance and we met online) we bonded over a mutual love for a band (who we also have crushes on). Our friendship became more than just that mutual interest and we are super close now. We talked literally everyday since we met. I met her in person one time. But for the past couple of months I’ve been struggling with jealousy towards her and her other friendships. I’ve talked to her about this plenty of times and I’ve almost ended our friendship because of it. She’s extremely special to me and I question if it’s a reciprocated feeling. She’s reassured me that I am important to her and I’m one of her best friends. I do question it often but I force myself to not let it get the best of me and not seek that reassurance from her. But recently I’ve started to question my own feelings. Why am I so jealous of her other friendships? Why do I think about her all the time? Why do I constantly want to do things for her and make her happy? Is it because I like her more than a friend? There is so much more to the story I could go on about. So it’s made me question myself so much. I’ve always liked guys. I do think girls are attractive but I couldn’t picture myself in a relationship with a girl. I did once a LONG time ago. But I can’t get her off my mind. And I’m not worried about if I did like girls. I wouldn’t care. What I am worried about is if this feeling and thoughts about her are real or if she’s just become an obsession with my ocd. Or maybe even an anxious attachment. I have another best friend and I love her very much but not this intensely. I’m just scared of what’s real. Do I like her? Or am I just “crazy”. What’s real anymore. Please give me some advice or second opinions.🙏🏼 or if I could go more in detail and text someone personally who’s willing to listen.
