I’m getting Groinal around my own brothers, when I saw his stomach. I don’t know if it’s groinal I hope it is, it even felt like it grew a little and I was stopping it. And then “if this was another guy you would definitely like it”. I try say “if I was actually gay I wouldn’t have dumb thoughts like this” but it doesn’t work my mind says I’m gay anyways
Personally, I believe that trying to argue with your OCD makes the obsession bigger and will end up terrorizing you more. I've suffered from similar intrusive thoughts but thankfully have gotten less over time. But everytime I had argued with my OCD trying to convince myself it wasn't true made it worse. I know its hard because its accompanied by a physical feeling but I believe what works best is to completely ignore it and not engage in the thoughts at all. Try and distract yourself with something else to the best of your abilities.
Hey man! I know this might sound strange but everyone has thoughts like that. Even straight people. One of my friends had a thought like that the other day, but he just shook it off. He’s one of the straightest dudes I know, too. Sometimes thoughts are just thoughts. They don’t always determine attraction.
hi anonymous thanks for sharing. it sounds like you could be experiencing a passive interest in guys but don't want to be gay. before you decide on am i gay or straight try getting more comfortable with even the possibility of you being anything. that may ease your mind from such negative thoughts around the topic.
@ConfusedDrew This triggered me big time, now I feel like I like men 🤦🏽♂️
@ConfusedDrew You just triggered him more by this 👏
Hey there, that sounds tough, but remember, it’s not your fault! 😊 I've been there and what really helped was an AI therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try). Your situation reminded me of it because the tool gives personalized step-by-step support to deal with such confusing and distressing thoughts. OCD really has a knack for throwing us in such perplexing situations, right?! 😅 I get how those thoughts can mess with your understanding of yourself, and it's a constant battle. I usually roll my eyes at promotions, but unstuck really helped me and I genuinely think it can help you too. Remember, you're not alone in this! 💪
Can somebody hear me out please,? This is such a weird obsession.. But I just wanna talk about it. Please tell me how to deal with this obsession?? Ok so whenever I'm at home I sometimes decide to just walk to the kitchen to grab something. But while my hands are down, near my pockets, I'm afraid that I'm gonna touch my dad or my brothers penis.. Ok this is weird..So now i actually did touch and now I'm really worried. Groinal responses are crazy, my ocd tells me that I liked the feeling of touching a penis and is telling me that I'm gay... Now I'm freaking out.. Please help please tell me how do i make this anxiety subside???
Anyone getting a lot groinal responses from HOCD also i keep getting thoughts in my head, "im gay im gay im gay" also moat of these thoughts aren't triggering a ton of anxiety and that makes me worry. I also keep feeling like im feminine or act like a gay dude. I hate it so much. I hate the groinal responses, it makes it feel real and not only that HOW DO I SIT WITH THE FEELING? HOW DO I DO RESPONSE PREVENTION? I don't want to accept this as truth this isn't me at all.
Lately I've been having a lot of groinal responses, don't want them to be there. Before any of this even happened to me, I don't think I ever had a groinal response looking at another man, it makes me convinced that I've always been gay. I don't wanna be gay. This morning I had a dream about a rapper, it wasn't sexual but for some reason I was hard? I have always been a fan of his music and that's it. Now that's fueling my thought process even more and convincing me that I'm gay and I've been in the closet for a while At the same time i keep crying looking at my ex cause i miss her so much. Another thing to note that whenever i see good looking men or men that are gay i get groinal responses, whereas before this I don't think any of this happened to me. Whenever i look at these men i have to actively take a few deep breath's to catch up my breath, i can feel my heart beating. And most of the times I'm not even thinking anything sexual when ilook at these men it's weird. None of this brings me happiness at all. At this point I'm scared of my own groin cause i don't know what to expect or what's gonna happen. My brain keeps going you're in denial I've always been into women, as far as i can remember, I've lost complete attraction to them especially after my break up and getting depressed and having anxiety. And i keep thinking find a man attractive and if i get a groinal response, " wanna have sex with him" where as before any of this happened to me, these thoughts never even came to my mind, my 22 years of life feels like a complete lie and i hate myself, I've lost all motivation to do Normal things, i feel sleepy, i don't feel confident, loss of attraction, loss of libido, loss of will power, my thoughts keep morphing from " you might be gay" to "you are gay" to "you're bi" to "you're gay" to " you're in the closest" to "how are you gonna come out?". None of these thoughts make me happy, it makes me more confused and scared and kinda uncomfortable, and weirded out too. Another thing i did was since December till March i watched gay porn and barely got aroused and didn't really find it all that hot.? But my brain ignores that i understand now that it was a compulsive thing that's why i stopped but now i get so many groinals it's so weird Can someone tell me what's going on with me? Please please please someone take the time out of their day to read this and respond, thank you! 😩😩😩
