Straight people don't question their sexuality, spiraling again.

That’s so not true😭I know straight people who went through questionning and experimenting just to realise they’re straight
i know how you feel i hope you recover im sorry
My friend said this to me a long time ago (she doesn’t know I have OCD) and it triggered me so much. Now I realize that it’s just a generalization but OCD makes it a bigger deal than it actually is. I’m sorry, I hope it’s not affecting you too much 🩷
you have to keep in mind that not every straight people have OCD! it’s not the same for everyone. the person who tweeted this is probably unaware of it. i’m wishing you a nice recovery!
this is such a generalization, and i think that more straight people do they probably just don’t talk about it! there’s weird stigma being a straight person and questioning it because of narratives like this that almost say if you question it you aren’t straight! like what? with all the acceptance and things we are exposed to nowadays i would expect a lot more people to question! but that’s just my opinion 😂
Well it’s Twitter what do you expect lmfao, people there aren’t the brightest bulbs in the batch. I mean, some straight people may not, but I’m sure most do.
I just recently kind of was getting over my Constant spiral of “am I a lesbian or bi?”(im a lesbian) and now I’ve been tackled by “am I trans” even tho I’ve never questioned my gender ever, I love being a woman, and I never thought I’d ever be dealing with this since I’ve always been so sure of being a woman, anybody else?
Every 30 minutes I spiral about something different. It’s exhausting. Right now I’m freaking out because I was finally feeling a little calmer, got on TikTok, and saw a post saying that comforting a guy or giving advice to a guy is considered cheating. Or “microcheating.” And so many people in the comments were agreeing. My OCD already gives me so much crap about having guy friends and comforting them during hard moments. Another post said that even giving advice when a guy texts you his problems is wrong, and like, I give advice so often. That one really struck me, because how on earth is that unacceptable? There was also a part about how hanging out with a guy is cheating too. I don’t really agree with that one either, but I guess I can understand that perspective a little more, especially if your partner feels uncomfortable with it. Still, it just added more fuel to the fire. I already doubt myself constantly, and then I read a comment that said, “*If you do any of that, all I’m hearing is ‘I’m a microcheater and proud.’*” I just started crying. I haven’t been able to sit with the uncertainty of whether I’ve been unfaithful or disrespectful to my boyfriend for months. Especially since my guy friend has given me comfort and advice too. Everything I do feels like cheating. ***Everything***. And seeing that just made it all feel so much worse.
I had a bad rumination spiral yesterday and went to bed hoping I’d start over in the morning. I was wrong. I had dreams about liking women and not being attracted to men anymore and my entire body has been in a state of anxiety since. I genuinely feel like I’m gay and just need to accept it. I have this urge to accept it. Maybe if I do I’ll get some sort of relief because this feeling is awful. I feel like my brain is telling me that I’ll get relief if I just accept it and come out. The intrusive thoughts don’t even seem to be around sexual images anymore, just to come out.
