Ppl with hocd do u feel like an extreme attraction loss for the opposite sex like I hate it I don’t get attracted to boys at al plz tell me if u feel like me

This is really common for HOCD. There are many reasons why you may feel like your losing your normal attraction to guys , like by trying to hard to like them to the point where it’s unnatural. Just like when you try hard not to be attracted to the same sex , that’s gonna make you feel like you are. It could also be a loss of energy from being so drained because of the anxiety. But still , you should accept what you see as the worst possibility and get acquainted with your fears. That’s how they lose their power over you. You could start by asking yourself why you fear what you fear , and how it would change your life if it were true. You’ll come to realize that you’re perspective is making the fear worse than it needs to be

Yeah, I have loss of aesthetic attraction to opposite sex. It's the worst effect of HOCD

Not really, but I obsess about that since more than a year. I started noticing flaws that I had never seen on the faces of girls I was attracted to, finding them a lot less attractive and then it spread to all the girls. Since then I wonder if it will come back and I make compulsions, but nothing come back (probably because I'm very obsessed with it and it's the only HOCD fear I have) Do not worry, it will come back ;)

@katia omg yes! Seriously I have literally been thinking the last few days that I might be asexual (but also in the back of my mind still obsessing about being gay?) !! So happy you feel like this because I don’t know what’s going on!! So happy you said that. And also yes about it coming back in short periods of time, like for example last night I was watching a tv show and I found the guy really attractive and I was so happy and then when the show finished I felt all horrible and weird again.

Omg same went out yesterday day and found a lot of guys really hot and today feel like I’m asexual

Wow honestly this rlly helped ngl thanksss

@katia so glad I could help ?

Me. I’ve started to feel really anxious at the thought of it as well and I never used to? I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know if this is a symptom of OCD or if it’s real life.

It is a symptom but I think it’s hard bc I don’t get anxious about girl anymore and I don’t have my attraction so it feel like I’m asexual wth do u feel like this

But do u feel like it comes back sometimes bc mine does kinda it comes like for 10 mins or maybe less

I told u it comes sometimes the attraction

too **
