"energy" lol that's basically a modern day form of religious talk. What even is energy? Your friend probably isn't very smart and sounds like a young hipster throwing out words and phrases hes seen on social media or TV. It's just youthful nonsense. Being gay is so trendy and cool he probably thought it was a compliment to you.

@Pink Dino there's probably nothing too deep to figure out here. Maybe just weathering the storm of anxiety this statement gave you is best. Not everything that gives you anxiety/ocd has a logical explanation. My psychiatrist once told me "your ocd can be like 3 year old. No matter how many times you tell it right from wrong sometimes it just won't listen. Just like a baby who wants to eat ice cream for dinner not knowing what's bad for itself, your ocd wants to be anxious about something that your logical mind knows is no good for you." So if you look at your ocd as the 3 year old and your logical mind as it's parent, you'll notice 3, just like children won't always listen to their parents even though their parents know best most of the time, your ocd might not listen to your logical mind because your ocd has you convinced compulsions and anxiety solve the problem instead of logic. So you get an inner conflict between your logical mind and ocd.

It’s a joke, try to not think about it too much! It may be reassurance but believe me lgbt people use the word energy more often than you would think lol, my friends and I use it all the time.

@lilye My tone is fine. And I'm absolutley not here to argue so I'm not going to defend what I said because it's true. Nuff said. I'm here to help the original poster work through her issues, not to explain myself to someone who's offended by something that's simply not offensive. You baited me to reply to you once(when this post isn't even about or for you), you won't bait me into a second reply. I care about a lot of things I shouldn't but your opinion isn't one of them. Bye Felicia.

It’s not an opinion, it’s the reality. Having mental disorders doesn’t give you the right to be discriminatory. You’re here to help OP by calling her friend and many others stupid? It seems to me that you have a lot of hate in your heart and you’re projecting it onto others. Your answer is public, if you do not wish to be answered to then you always have the option to keep things to yourself.

It’s not that deep, it’s just an expression? I’m not on this app to argue but please watch your tone. Being gay is not trendy and cool, people are still getting beat up in the streets for not being straight.

It’s okay @Pink Dinosaur ocd is an awful disorder and I hope you’re feeling better right now!

@PERSON11111 I don’t think @lilye was trying to attack you. She was saying that calling being gay a “trend,” despite increased media presence, is disrespectful to LGBT people in a sense that being discriminated against is more harmful to them than “trendy.”

Thanks for the support everyone! I’m all Gucci now so it’s really no big deal.

@janusuina obviously there was some jest in my comment and I can't over every pro and con of being gay/lesbian when speaking on the matter. Just expecting people to use common sense. One thing I won't do is down right reassure which is what lilye is doing. But I also won't tell liley to stop because it's not my place.

I actually reply the moments in my head when someone once said they thought I was at least bisexual.

Yeah, I don’t know. People push a lot of labels on me. It wasn’t an insult because he’s bi and he asked me if he looked more straight or gay so ??♀️

I wouldn't be anxious about that. But maybe he meant it positively and you just look open minded . So he put a label lesbian . Idk

Y’all, I use the word ‘energy’ a lot as well and like my friend group is literally a group of hipsters which is why the fact that the comment made me so anxious is so wild to me

Idk what else to title this. I was watching a film cooper video cuz why not and he mentioned smthn about wall paper customization and icons and stuff and I just kinda had a groinal response followed by the memory of me having my first crush on a woman (my friend at the time) that helped me figure out that I’m bi and I felt kinda intensely for her but that’s cuz a) it was new and b) we were kinda on again off again friends who haven’t spoken in a few years now and I’m over her entirely. It was toxic I think. She was too much like the person who bullied me in elementary school (they were friends as well so my mom made me cut her off which is. Fair. Made me really sad but eh that’s life) I saw her at prom cuz someone brought her. It was nice to see her but yeah that was it. And now I’m mentally comparing what I felt for women in the past (idk intense crush, listening to a lot of gay songs (think she by dodie) dressing semi masc cuz funky, we had nicknames for each other despite not dating or anything) to men (less intense crush but still big crush, I’ve only dated and kissed men so sparks rhere) and now I’m just slightly nauseous and worried that I don’t like men as much as I like women but I think that’s normal for any bi person? To have different levels of attraction to different genders? Idk I feel gross and icky now like I shouldn’t even be thinking about it or her cuz I have a bf. And I do look fondly upon it, now I’m nervous cuz I got more excited about her calling me a specific nickname than I do from my bf calling me honey even at the beginning? Honey felt more traditional and I love it but we do switch around nicknames and it’s always nice, not many butterflies anymore, and sometimes I get anxious when he does lately, if it’s a nickname in Portuguese. Or if he called me a shortened version of my name. What does that mean? I’m nervous now. I was doing half decently today now I’m nauseous again. I’m worried that cuz I liked the nicknames she and I had that means I don’t like the ones my bf and I have and that I just don’t like him or men cuz I’ve been feeling off around him. But I love when he calls me honey, it still feels good when he does it now but no butterflies. Idk what’s wrong with me. Is it even ocd at this point. Even if I do like women slightly more it doesn’t erase that I love my bf. I’m worried I’m leaning too much towards women tho and I’m a lesbian. Idk if my bi cycle is cycling or if I’m just a lesbian entirely cuz I don’t feel much when my bf takes off his shirt, sex feels different, and things feel stale and slow. But maybe that’s cuz I’m checking and comparing. Now I’m anxious fuck. I’m trying not to think about her idk why. I’m worried I still find her attractive or am attracted to her or smthn. She’s in my city. I didn’t care before but now I do. Or if I think about her I’ll think about other women and will only want to have sec with women which not really tbh. I wanna be able to enjoy sec with my bf. It just hasn’t felt right lately cuz I’ve been so depressed and obsessive. I wasn’t obsessing much last night when we had sex but it still didn’t feel passionate. It didn’t feel uncomfortable but I thought it’d be more? Idk. I know it’s normal to not feel him inside me cuz the vagina isn’t very nerved up compared to the clitoris but it felt like more the motions. But tbh. I needed it. Idk I wanted to have sex and it was a nice stress relief. I just didn’t feel butterflies which kinda bummed me out but we’ve been having sex since august so that’s normal. Idk. I haven’t been able to fantasize about sex. The fact that I’m bi makes all of this so confusing. Cuz yes hypothetically I can enjoy the thought of sex with a woman. But I don’t want to rn cuz I’m dating a man. And I can’t fantasize about sex with him cuz I’m getting intrusive thoughts about my friends and I having sex. I have this urge to watch porn cuz it’s been a while but I’m not going to. I’ve cut down a lot on masturbation. Partially cuz this partially cuz I wanna do things with my bf (when I’m mentally ok) but jow my brain is saying “Oo you think all these women are so hot you’re gonna go feral blah blah blah” and yes women are hot but I don’t wanna have sex with a woman. Idk saying women are hot doesn’t bring me anxiety but the thought of sex with one or leaving my bf and saying I’m a lesbian bother me. Cuz I know it’s not true. I love him I know that. I’d be happy if we stayed together. I wouldn’t regret a thing honestly. I like having sex with him. Idc if it’s not like porn or the movies. As long as I’m being pleasured and he’s being pleasured we’re good. That’s what sex is about. I think the loss of butterflies is normal cuz the excitement of like (sorry tmi) fingering and oral eventually wears off right? But still feels good. I don’t feel as excited about intimacy anymore cuz we have done it so often but it still feels nice. But my brain perceives that as me not liking sex with men and therefore I’m gay. No I just don’t feel the need to jump his bones every single time I see him?? Idk the friend thing is bothering me. Idk if I feel any joy behind it. The groinal response really really throws my perception off

So I identify as a lesbian and I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful girl. But i’m stressing that I have crushes on boys I go to school with. I get anxious around them, which I think I mistake for excitement. I obsess over it in my head which confuses me a lot. Idk I also never think about them sexually or romantically but I think about them often which is scaring me. Any advice?
