Maybe your attracted to your friend? 🤷♂️ it happens but remember it means absolutely nothing unless you act on it. Thoughts have zero power and energy unless we assign them so with our actions.

I totally get this! Trust me isolation is NOT the answer. Be surrounded by your friends, plus it’s good exposure and you’ll eventually habituate to it! I admit that women are attractive and I think they’re beautiful, but that doesn’t have to mean anything about my sexual preferences. Or maybe it does? Who knows! But I don’t care because it’s impossible to have a definitive answer when sexuality is not black and white!

Worst thing you can do is avoid your friends bro, its just you being scared of being gay, whats so wrong with it? Once you figure out and become more firm on your sexuality, you can admit that everyone is attractive.

@teeejay I don’t find him attractive, whenever I see his picture I feel scared that I will have a movement down there and when I check I see it moving 😔 I don’t like that movement

@tuchi Well groin response really means nothing, you can get an erection just from sitting there thinking about nothing, i really urge you to just be open to everything, you might be suprised, also if you want me to be real. The fact that you dont like the movement is a dead giveaway

It’s just OCD! Ignore it and it’ll go away eventually

hey, i really feel for you dealing with this, it sounds super tough. i've got my own tangle with pure o, different obsessions, but that same exhausting mental loop. just want you to know i'm here to listen and i get how hard it can be, even if our experiences aren't exactly the same. 🤝 so, my therapist mentioned this free AI tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com) and honestly, it might be a good fit for what you're going through. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket, guiding you when things get too much. you just type in what's bugging you, and it leads you through steps to help you break free from those obsessive thoughts. i'm not into pushing apps usually, but this one's been a game-changer for me, and i really think it could offer you some relief too. happy to chat if you've got questions about it, just hit me up. hang in there, buddy. 💪

so tired
I’m so scared all the time that maybe i am just in denial. The voice started one day and it never leeft. Whenn i was at my happiest in my relationship all i could hear was a voice being like ur a lesbian, u don’t even like men, everything is fake, nothing was real u just didn’t know it. Then we broke up and all the voices went away and i was devastated because i missed him. Fast forward 2 years we made it work again and i was so happy and now i’m happy the voices are back. But when i’m with him they go away a little, i naturally gravitate toward touching him and being around him and being turned on but then when i’m alone my head is like none of it was real, you hated it, you’re a lesbian, you only like women, you’re. not attracted to men anymore. Is this normal for SOCD? or am i just in denial? i’ve only ever dated men, and i’ve really loved my partners, being intimidate has never been hard. I don’t know what to do. It’s all i think about all day when i’m alone.

Thoughts about friends
How do you guys cope when your obsessions target people you’re close to? I recently had a sexual thought about a friend of mine and it started snowballing. We’ve been texting more and my brain keeps saying that it’s flirty, and if I were in a situation to kiss her I would. She’s a close friend of mine and I didn’t have sexual thoughts about her until recently. They make me feel disgusting and guilty, and the onset made me feel like my body was on fire. It’s starting to latch on to other friends, and my brain is saying I’m “tempted” by them, and if they came on to me I would give in and like it. I had SO-OCD as a child, and did engage in some play kissing with friends before my SO-OCD happened. (My OCD latches on to that a lot too as proof that I’m gay). I remember the anxiety I had about what I had done with my friend, and this feeling I have now imagining kissing my friends feel similarly. I don’t usually write on here to avoid confessing and reassurance seeking, but I’m at a loss. I have a heavy feeling in my chest and I don’t want to have the thoughts, but part of me thinks I might be liking them and maybe it’s internalized homophobia. I could handle being bi, but the thoughts about my friends and losing control feels so wrong. I’m just confused and want to know how to process when OCD starts attaching to people I’m close to.
