Also this is a good example for you to try acceptance to an exposure. Say to yourself “maybe if I kissed a girl I would like it” and sit with that anxiety. It hasn’t happened and may not ever so just take it one day at a time.

I test myself by saying “ I like you” to the person of the same sex, but never said it fully cause I would think I’m a lesbian

I just wanna say that you should never take anything people say on social media seriously. They could be exaggerating , trying to get attention , or they liked it for some entirely different reason , try to accept that you don’t know. I know it’s tempting to look into these kind of things but they just make you more confused and scared than you were before and that’s not what we want ?

my hocd just kinda ruins everything for me. like earlier i was having a good time with my best friend, talking about old memories. and i realized i was having a good time and smiling and i was like “omg do you like her” it sounds so dumb but that’s what happens to me all the time. the smallest, most normal things trigger me.

@kaysf Oh I totally get it , the amount of time I’ve spent focusing on the smallest details ever because of OCD is insane , it really does take so much of your energy and ruin your whole mood. But I’m not surprised that she said it in a joking way , im pretty sure that’s a common thing for some girls to joke about lmao. For someone with OCD though , it’s hard to just put it aside and not worry about it

@kaysf My tip to you is to try and not engage with any thoughts or compulsions , you may want to , but be like “ I’m curious to see how it’ll make me feel to go a long time without any compulsions “ maybe think of it as a challenge. You can do this !

Yeah, it’s confusing how she was straight and turned gay by kissing someone of the same sex

@kaysf This is normal I fear that too, if my friends smile, my Brian goes “do you like her?”

It is not a sign. Your brain is over noticing and over attending to this thing.
