"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.”

@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

I need some advice
So I haven’t been on this app in a while. But I just want advice on how to overcome this. I’m now 18 and I’ve been trying out dating apps. I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda picky when it comes to dating only because I plan on dating to marry…so I take it a bit more seriously. But for some reason it’s so hard to click with people on these dating apps. So my friend was helping me through this dating apps process. I told her that I wasn’t interested in this guy I was texting anymore because of the way he was responding to my messages. And she says maybe you’re gay…this is honestly the sixth time (I’m definitely over exaggeration but this isn’t the first time someone had said this to me) someone has ask/said this. Every time someone says this it literally sends me down this spiral of are they seeing something I’m not seeing. Despite never having a crush on a girl my mind goes down this loop of overthinking. And when I say I don’t want that lifestyle or I don’t really find pleasure in being apart of the lgbtq community my mind is like in denial. I just wanted to have a fun teenage dating experience and now every time I open the app I always think what if I really am gay and I’m just in denial…or what if the reason why I’m not connecting with anyone is because I’m really into girls. Since i’m also religious, my mom wants to go what you’re denying who we are because of your religion. And I tried to reassure myself by saying I would know if that was the case like I would feel deep down who I’m truly attracted to and know that I’m trying to cover it up by dating men. This whole thing is so mentally taxing because I was going through this all throughout my senior year of high school and I’m not going into my freshman year of college so. Like I literally felt so much anxiety next to one of my classmates who was gay and a masculine presenting. I feel like if I would’ve told this to anyone, they’d say of course you’re in denial. But ig reply if you can relate

How to deal with someone saying your OCD is right
I’m. Lowkey freaking out a bit at the moment. So I’ve had kind of a thing for hyperfemininity most of my life (really just on men but that’s beside the point). A lot of what I find attractive is similar to Sabrina carpenter’s aesthetic. Like frilly lingerie for example. There was this clip where she was wearing like a babydoll or whatever they’re called and everyone said she looked like a toddler. I thought it was ok bc I’m only attracted to adults, and in this case it’s only concerning my attraction to men, but I was listening to a podcast today about Sabrina Carpenter (bc while I do think she’s very pretty I disagree with a lot of what she does) and the person speaking said she presented as a “sexy baby” and that it was pedophilic. Now I’m pretty frightened because I can’t just go “that’s false attraction” and be done with it. I AM attracted to hyperfemininity and now I feel like a predator for it. I’m scared

False attraction?
Y’all I think I’m dealing with false attraction but idk and I can’t tell. It’s bugging me. It’s one specific (female) friend of mine lately. Idk if it’s cuz she’s a lesbian and it’s playing on my soocd or smthn. I keep having groinal responses around her. I don’t see her like that but I’m worried I either am starting to or already do and am suppressing it but I have had no interest in her in the last 2 years she’s been in our group. This started somewhat recently and every time someone makes a sexual joke or smthn (like flashing or twerking) it causes a groinal response and I just kinda shut down. I don’t feel anything in the crush sense of the word. And it’s bugging me that I’m having these thoughts and I keep having thoughts of my bf and then my friend gets placed into the thought and it just makes me upset. Annoyed. I feel this tightness in my chest and it’s not good. I like seeing this friend but I don’t get excited seeing her. I wonder where she is when she’s gone but I do that with all of my friends, if one doesn’t show to our group dinners I ask. I worry I’m making too much eye contact when we talk. I keep checking if I’m feeling anything anywhere but it’s just a persistent groinal response and I’m worried it’s attraction
