Just when these thoughts come into your head recognize them as an OCD symptom that has no reflection of your values. Focus on what is TRUE and what you know for sure. You are not attracted to this person. Allow any feelings of anxiety come and go. Then go about your day. I hope this helps. The false guilt is a symptom of OCD. Recognize it as that.

@аliеи Usually when you start not accepting those OCD thoughts as important they may get worse in the beginning. Your brain is used to reacting in a way that over thinks those thoughts as important. It is hard and takes time. Try as best as you can to “not care” that they stick around. Just remember that guilt that comes with OCD is just another trick it uses to dwell in those false thoughts. Hang in there and give yourself credit for any victories that come.

I’m going through this as well with a bunch of my coworkers.😅 My intrusive thoughts have been nasty as well, I’ve been horrified by the sentences I’ve uttered in my head. The worst part is the cycle of guilt and obsession—-because you obsess over that guilty thought it only makes you fixate on the person more! Every second spent on guiltily ruminating over what happened is another minute that that stranger stays in your brain! Remember that!!
