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. 💪

I just don't know anymore like the false attractions feel too real and believable it's hard to sit with them to make me see it's not real when they appear on people I know and strangers. I know I don't consciously want it but maybe something deep down I'm not in control does. I hate feeling this way.

Soocd & friendships
How do you deal with soocd trying to convince you that you had crushes on your friends in the past. I keep having thoughts about my female friendships and my brain is like “you actually wanted to date her” or “if she said she liked you, you’d want to be with her instead of your boyfriend”. These thoughts are so distressing because I don’t think they’re true but I also can’t ignore them because I just hate myself for even thinking it in the first place. If I ever told my boyfriend I was thinking these things he would never want to be with me. I don’t know how to spend time with my female friends who I’m seeing over this weekend without this totally overwhelming my brain. Has anyone dealt with this?

Hanging out with friends - sexual orientation ocd
The past couple of days have been torture. Last night, visuals plagued my mind, thinking I would do something sexual with my friend. I hung out with her today and was anxious the entire time. I can’t even have fun anymore. Groinals, constant thoughts, checking, getting nervous and weird when she gets close to me, eye contact is hard. Does anyone else have sexual orientation ocd and find hanging out with your girl friends to be very difficult? I was doing alright for a while and wasn’t getting terribly triggered. (I have a bf btw)
