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.

LESBIAN WITH SO-OCD
I have been doing okay for the past week or so and was really happy i felt that i was getting back on track, but today i went on tiktok and i saw something triggering which was “i thought i was a lesbian for 4 years until i met my now boyfriend” and it triggered me very badly, i have been crying all day and i can’t seem to make myself feel okay. i feel like im lying to myself that im not lesbian and i truly want men, but when i get any thought about men it feels disgusting and wrong and not me, i don’t want men i feel so sick i want to get out of this. i always felt so happy as a lesbian im so stuck i don’t want to be with a man. i have a loving girlfriend i just want to be happy with her.

LESBIAN WITH SO-OCD
hi i’m a lesbian! and i have known im a lesbian for a really long time and i have a sweet girlfriend of 1 year. it all started when i saw this masc lesbian come out as straight, after that i had my guy friend over and he’s a sweet guy and he was flirting with me (he didn’t know i was gay) im not sure but i panicked and my brain froze and i was like “do i like him”, ever since my brain has been over worked 24/7 for 2 months now and it’s spiralling constantly. im trying to control it but all these thoughts are so disgusting and my brain tries to put him and i in scenarios that make me uncomfortable and i feel panic and i hate it. i have always been comfortable being a lesbian and i still am comfortable as a lesbian, but i dislike these thoughts i have about him and men and i want it to be over. i do not want to experiment with men even tho my brain is telling me i do, i find it disgusting and i dread it, i have a sweet girlfriend and i want to be with her forever, i do not imagine anything with any men and i hate these thoughts. im scared of becoming bisexual/straight one day and i hate hearing sexuality is fluid. its a whole mix of comphet and so-ocd

Triggered
I watched the trailer for the movie “Am I Ok?” and got completely triggered. Basically a 32 yo woman discovers she’s a lesbian seemingly out of nowhere. I was triggers and did some research (bad idea) and apparently some people who are gay have never had romantic or sexual interest in people of the same sex until one spontaneous moment of discovery. Now I’m worried that this could be me!! I’ve never had a long term relationship, have had crushes and fantasies but back out when things get too close for me. I do prefer my little fantasy world guy but now I’m wondering if maybe I missed something and am in denial, even if I didn’t know it.
