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

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.

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.

Hi so I've been having a recent theme of soocd hocd. At the start I was all panicked and couldn't leave my house. Now all my emotions feel like they have turned off. It feels real now like I'm just in denial. It's bringing up memories from the past of shows I've watched or people I was friends with to try and prove the point or people I thought were pretty. It's saying you've only realised now cause you are comfortable as I had a difficult childhood. I feel no attraction towards men and can't remember if I ever have now even though I know I did. It's saying its all fake. I really am. Starting to believe it's real and I just feel depressed now. Am I going to have to leave my boyfriend who I planned my life with. It feels like life is going by and I'm stuck. I have no energy at all.

straight girl suffering from hocd, okay so when i was younger i looked at like a girl corn star insta for like 2 weeks and like did get aroused by it, didn’t think much of it still fancied boys, girls were like ew no to me, but its triggering my hocd so badly, like is it normal that i could look at a sexy pic of a girl n get aroused by it, but like a shirtless pic of a boy i wouldn’t, however i have insane attraction to men irl, i love my boyfriend, i love the idea of being with a man and hate the idea of being with a woman, this really freaking me out!

What’s your experience on: Losing opposite gender attraction? And, False attraction to same gender? I have both and I feel like I don’t know who I am. I can’t parent or be a husband due to the mass panic and anxiety. Just wanted to know if anyone has had both and regained theirself?
