Glad to know I’m not alone 😭♥️ Mine also manifests as competitiveness around other women. When I see men I feel like I need to put on the best show, and if I see women I automatically begin to assess where I stand against them. I cannot seem to shut it off. I despise myself for it. It’s so difficult though. I know OCD amplifies the thoughts, but a part of me fundamentally does seek approval. I just want it to stop.

@tina.b2021 OH my gosh I have those thoughts too 😭😭😭 I’ll get anxious whenever I walk past men hoping they “won’t look at me” but then question my motives to begin with. And I get what appears to be relief from NOT getting the attention, but then start to question my worth and whether I’m ugly or not bc I got ignored. 🤦♀️Nothing is ever good enough.

@tina.b2021 I also feel guilty for assuming these men look out of interest. I know people observe their surroundings for pretty much every kind of reason, but I can’t help but always assume a man’s glance means interest. It makes my ROCD so much worse with my bf too…

@tina.b2021 but ultimately, I’m tired of basing my worth off of my appearance. I’m deserving of love whether I’m beautiful or not. I shouldn’t have to be this obsessed to begin with! No woman should have to be!

@tina.b2021 OH MY GOSH YES. ☹️ I grew up ugly. A few years ago I suddenly “glowed up” (as they say lol) and now I get showered w attention, and no matter how many times I get complimented it’s never, never enough! Add OCD to that mix and it’s an addiction. 😭

Wow. I know this is 50 days late lol but I had no idea this was ocd. I literally assumed that these were thoughts everyone has to a certain degree. But I have always felt like im narcissistic and an attention seeker- especially when it comes to the way I dress/walk. Thank you for sharing this, I will be talking about it with my therapist 😭😂
