I’m so sorry that person commented that, it would have triggered me like crazy! but a lot of us straight women did that when we were younger and I’m still trying to convince myself that’s okay but we know it is!

I just worry what if I’m secretly lesbian or bi and just lying to myself bc when I say “I’m lesbian” I feel calm and not anxious anymore and I thought a trans guy was hot who was a girl b4 and that triggered me and my brain was like “I’d still date them” but idk if I would ahhhh

@aholcomb17 You telling yourself that you are a lesbian is a compulsion because it reduces your anxiety for a little. I have to the same thoughts I used to say it out loud and I think that im lying to myself all of the time. Ocd causes self doubt

Something like this would get into my head too. I always assume the extreme case that I am a lesbian and I get caught up. Also, I have kissed girls before too without any feeling or thought when I was younger like 15 bc we thought it was funny. The worst thing you can do is try to rationlize your thoughts with facts about yourself and try to prove yourself wrong. It starts a cycle that is very hard to end

I have done this and I am straight I have also noticed attractive women and though "she's pretty" but I am not gay! And even if someone online said I must be because I notice attractive women I would dismiss their opinion as they have never met and do not know me like this person does not know you to say they know you are gay just because you watched videos is ridiculous dismiss this do not give it any value!

you’re the only one who can decide!! that person is probably just trolling bc the only one who really knows what you feel is you

The thoughts still exist. For the last couple months I’ve been able to say I don’t care and lean into the comfort of being uncertain. Im having a tough time with some things personally right now and guess what decides to show up… Anyways, I’ve been trying to get used to the fact that maybe I’m bisexual with a romantic preference for men (I’m married and love my husband) but when you start going through your compulsions it’s soooo easy for everything to blur out. To my knowledge I’ve never had a crush on a woman but I’ve most definitely watched same sex porn and have thought women are hot and beautiful, then come the thoughts about comp het and how I’ve never been an overly sexual person so that MUST mean something. Ugh idk, just looking for someone to chat with I guess!

Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair

Ok so I’m a 17 year old female, and I’ve always thought I was straight. But I just really want to know how you would know the difference between so-ocd and actually questioning your sexuality. I have nothing against the LGBTQ community (in fact I am very much a token straight friend, lol) but I saw a video about comp-het recently and it sort of felt like what I was experiencing. I don’t want to be gay, I want to be with men, I want to like men, I’ve always liked men, but now I’m questioning whether or not that’s real? Because people can be gay but not want to be right? I’m single and I always have been. I think women are gorgeous, but when I try to imagine actually having any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with a woman it feels wrong, at least most of the time it does? Sometimes I’m less sure, and I’ve never been particularly boy crazy. I’ve liked maybe 2 or 3 people in my life, (not to say I’ve never found other guys attractive, but it doesn’t seem to be as often as most people) I have no particular reason to be afraid of being gay, very supportive family, safe area ect, but I don’t want to be, does that mean this is ocd, I don’t know what’s going on every time I say I’m straight I feel like I’m lying, but that might just be because I think about it so much. The idea of being with a woman doesn’t feel like something I would want, but is that just because I don’t want to want it? People online say things with so much sureness, if you feel like this it means this. Ect.
