Attraction or not?
How can you know if you are really attracted to someone?
How can you know if you are really attracted to someone?
Some say you can differentiate it by understanding the way you react to the "attraction". An example is how you normally feel attraction; you'll feel warm and positive about it. For false attraction you'll feel anxious and negative about it. However, in general, you can't really tell if its really attraction or not. Thats why its better off accepting that the feeling is there and move on. Keep in mind that accepting doesn't mean you agree.

hey, i totally get how confusing and stressful it can be trying to figure out your feelings, especially with ocd throwing its two cents in. 😣 it's tough, but you're not alone in this. i'm dealing with a different ocd theme myself, so i might not have all the answers you're looking for, but i can share some resources that have been super helpful for me. one thing that's been a game-changer is this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools." my local ocd support group recommended it, and it's packed with ai-personalized guidance and exercises for those moments you really need it. also, the ocd stories podcast has been a great listen for me; it's full of insights and experiences from others who are navigating their ocd journeys. might be worth checking out! 🎧
how do i know if something is false attraction or genuine attraction? is there anyway to figure this out?
do you guys often confuse being triggered with actually being attracted. I struggle with this a lot.
