i think the noticing guys thing is just a pattern you’ve got yourself stuck in. or the anxiety probably causing your brain to think of these images and maybe for your body to feel things out of alignment for you. that really doesn’t mean you are attracted to them, and false attraction is real, too. of course, you can find someone attractive and not *be* attracted to them. i’ve had this too with girls, but i honestly don’t really care if i’m bi so it doesn’t bother me like that. maybe tell your brain you don’t care if you’re bi or not. try to convince the OCD it doesn’t matter either way, it’ll stop nagging at you
@deadmeat Thank you... the "false attraction is real" bit triggered me a little... but im trying my best... im getting triggered seeing stuff about repressed sexuality and it makes me gag just thinking about it...
so sorry! i didn’t mean for it to trigger you, i was just saying you aren’t actually attracted to guys, it’s just ocd brain. if it makes you gag thinking about it, it’s really not you. i have really bad sexual ocd and i try to check myself a lot bc of it. but afterwards i feel repulsed. i know we’re still strangers but i PROMISE you aren’t alone at all in how you feel, and you WILL move on from this and be able to manage everything better
Like I feel geroinals ALL DAY and it’s stuck… I think I’m bi. But this still drives me nuts.
This shit has to be one of the most confusing subtypes of ocd because no matter what you will never find clarity. When it started it wasn’t as bad and confusing because it was mostly anxiety. But when it started getting physical that’s when it got extremely confusing because I feel tension and fear when thinking of gay stuff but while testing I get arousal sensations so the big question is “if I am afraid of it how can my body respond as if I’m into it and if I’m into it how does my body respond with fear as if I’m not” and it’s endless. I wish I never started testing my arousal so I never started getting groinals to gay stuff in the first place. But there’s no going back now.
i have had intense thoughts and fears about being gay today and i have been sick to my stomach. it just stopped and now im scared im accepting it and im not freaking out. i feel like im okay with it. I AM NOT OKAY WITH BEING GAY.
