18+ Please any help/advice I used to love the tv series full house when I was teen. I always loves Stephanie. I thought she was adorable and funny so I adopted her personality. Although I thought by doing this it would make me ‘cute’ and ‘quirky’ and would act like her around boys. But my ocd is telling me I’m a p for this as the character was like 5 and I was 17/18. I’m ashamed in myself that I used the personality of a 5 year old to try and attract and impress boys, like I was doing it for sxual gain, surely that’s sxualising her? I feel awful, I’m so scared I’m a p.

i’m sorry that you’re struggling with this, you’re not alone and you’re not a bad person for any of the feelings you have.

The fact that you are so worried about if you are a P, shows that you really aren’t! You feel bad because you’re a good person. The ocd is just scaring you into feeling that way. I also struggle with P ocd though… it sucks.

the traits of hers that you connected to were not of any sxual nature. it is completely normal to connect with tv and movie characters and to adopt parts of them into your personality, our personalities are made up of all of the things that we take in in our environments.

But doesn’t me using her personality to make people attracted to me make it basically sxual? I’m so scared that the reasoning behind why I like her

@82023 being attracted to someone sxually and being attracted to someone for their personality are different. one thing i love about my girlfriend for example is that my inner child comes out around her, and hers comes out around me, and we have the ability to be childish with eachother. and i am so attracted to that part of her personality, but not in a sxual way. it’s more in a way of being interested in keeping a conversation with her and wanting to spend time with her. reading your post, i associated what you said with that feeling. to me it seems innocent, your personality and your inner child probably relate to her in some way, and she is a funny character, and we usually hope that the people we are interested in find us funny.
