I had a dream that I liked this boy and I’m a girl is it a good sign that’s I’m straight but when I woke up I started to get thoughts about girls and they feel real they deal that I like girls and I don’t want to
You can like both if you want. It fine to be fluid in your feelings that why they are feelings
@Anonumanonymous Nooo I don’t like girls I’ve never liked them
@Anonumanonymous It’s no ok in my religion is forbidden you can’t be Muslim and I’m trying my best to not think about girls
@Anonymous But the thought just pops in I’ve never liked girls ok
@Anonumanonymous Do u even know what ocd is
great job triggering him dude
@Anonymous - before hocd did you ever have these feelings about girls?
@Anonymous No
@Anonymous Also you have to remember that you're not alone in this kind of thinking. I'm sure there are plenty of people who have the same thoughts as you who are still true to their religion.
Maybe you should do a little bit more research on that kind of stuff. Like people from the same gender and things like that. But I feel like a lot of people think about different "sins" but they don't do them.I think that's what makes the difference. I personally believe in liking whoever you want to but if you're not really into that kind of thing then that's okay. Just be kind to yourself during this time and don't be so hard on yourself. When you give too much energy or mental power to something it can end up consuming you. And the harsher you might be on yourself over a simple decision. Remember you're in control there's no reason to make such a harsh correction. If you feel like you actually do might like girls and you're okay with that at some point then that's okay. And if you decide that that's not a thought that you want to entertain then that's okay too.
@Anonumanonymous I don’t like girls I’ve never had that dealing I’ve always liked boys I’ve had so many crushes on boys I’ve had ocd since Covid okey and u can’t make my life worse I’m already scared but I know for fact I don’t like girls
@Anonymous Hey I have ocd too and in the past I’ve had similar thoughts but I know I like males and not girls, so I would worry for a bit why I would have certain thoughts, but after awhile I would think “well I know I like boys so that’s that” and eventually I would stop thinking about it then I wouldn’t worry anymore
Oh ok some people have had gay experiences in their childhood and they are still straight
I’m scared I want to stay straight I don’t like girls
My guess is youre probably performing some type of compulsion/ritual to ease your anxiety over the issue. Maybe googling stuff, looking at certain material, performing religious rituals, etc. Stop it stop it stop it! Empirical evidence shows when you stop the respone (response prevention), over time the anxiety will fade. Exposure may be all around you. Just stop the response.
So basically, I don’t know when this started, but basically whenever I look at a girl, a girl on a phone screen, or even a cartoon that’s a girl, I have this weird tendency that I like them, even though I’m straight. And though I am fairly young (still a teen), I’m positive that I’m straight, but my mind is giving me these weird feelings and signals that I’m not. And disclaimer, I do not have a problem with people with other kinds of sexualities, but I am feared for my life about this. I’ve honestly been keeping these tough emotions and feelings in me for days now. I don’t want to tell my mom because I don’t want her to think bad of me, and we also live in a Catholic household, so the thought of having a different sexuality is a lot on us. I’ve done some of my research, and since I’ve had many different types of OCD for quite some time, I’ve come to the conclusion that apparently I have SO-OCD or HOCD (basically the same thing.) I don’t know if this is true or not. But some other websites have told me that it’s just a part of being a teenager and growing up, and finding what love interest suits you the most, but I honestly have no pleasure with this whatsoever! I constantly think about, “oh, what if you like this girl right there?” Every time I walk past a girl, and sometimes my mind agrees with it, but deep down I don’t want this. And even sometimes, when I’m watching a video, or looking at boys in real life, looking at boy cartoon characters, most of the time, my mind tells me, “this boy is cute. I am attracted to him.” But other times, I completely disagree with that statement. Same with girls, so I don’t know. And also my mind tells me, or something in me tells me that the guys at school that I like, I don’t like them anymore, and instead I look at the girls, in which I know that I’m not attracted to, so it’s just a continuous cycle like that and I don’t know how to stop it. Someone please help because I don’t really know how to explain this, it’s just tough on me.
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!
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.
