I was just out a few minutes ago and I saw this 9 year old kid, I felt what I hope is false attraction, idk if it was or not, I donāt understand what I felt, but I felt a need to look away but also a need to look to check if I was attracted or not, when I looked it genuinely felt like I was attracted, idk whatās happening but I donāt wanna be attracted to a kid, Iām convinced Iām a pedo bc of the amount of times something like this happened, I donāt know what this means, but Iām worried itās not pocd, Iāve never gotten a diagnosis, but many ppl online said I did and I should see a therapist, i donāt know if I liked the feeling or not, but it made me have a feeling in my chest, similar to attraction, Iāve been trying to pursue a relationship with a girl my age, but this just feels so real, I donāt know if it was false attraction or not, It felt so genuine, now that I left, the feeling kind of dissapeared, but it felt like I was genuinely attracted to that, I canāt be attracted to that, I donāt want to be attracted to that, I think Iām just a pedo in denial, I feel like Iām writing all of this to try to convince myself Iām not a pedo even though I am, this feeling only happens sometimes when I see a female kid, Idk if it means something or not, but I donāt think itās pocd, it feels too real for me, it feels like Iām actually liking kids, I really hope itās false attraction. I donāt wanna be a pedo, I wanna be able to have a relationship with a girl my age. I donāt understand whatās happening, please help me. I canāt tell if this is pedophilia or ocd anymore.
Edit: main thing is the feelings not the thoughts because it feels like genuine attraction, I also get urges to not look but to look at the same time, for me itās mainly the feelings, they feel so real when I think abt it now Iām still getting those feelings, Iām so convinced that Iām actually attracted. It felt like real enjoyment, so Iām worried that I am a pedo bc of those feelings, I feel like Iām not able to pursue a relationship with someone my age. But this canāt have been ocd it feels to genuine, it felt like actual enjoyment.
