Just read on Twitter
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 want to know the difference of someone who is gay vs someone who is just questioning bc of ocd. Like would you hear I’m gay im gay over and over and over again in your head but it didn’t feel right? But when I say this is a waste of my time im of course straight it feels like im lying but I know im not attracted to women at all I am certain of that. But picking a label is what i can’t settle on so this is my ocd or not
The thoughts still exist. For the last couple months I’ve been able to say I don’t care and lean into the comfort of being uncertain. Im having a tough time with some things personally right now and guess what decides to show up… Anyways, I’ve been trying to get used to the fact that maybe I’m bisexual with a romantic preference for men (I’m married and love my husband) but when you start going through your compulsions it’s soooo easy for everything to blur out. To my knowledge I’ve never had a crush on a woman but I’ve most definitely watched same sex porn and have thought women are hot and beautiful, then come the thoughts about comp het and how I’ve never been an overly sexual person so that MUST mean something. Ugh idk, just looking for someone to chat with I guess!
Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair
