Does false attraction change?

Hi I totally feel this as well man. It has been particularly bad for me since yesterday and continuing today. Just know you are not alone.

Wow, I'm amazed, because that's exactly what happens to me!!! I'm 22 years old, and it happens exactly as you describe, in the same order. Believe me, it's not attraction; it's just our minds, they're just thoughts. Recognizing good-looking figures doesn't make us change our sexual orientation; our minds just tell us it makes us gay, but it doesn't.

Heyyy so it's ocd affecting you and yes I told you I struggle with soocd and mine went from face to chest area to presence to all female of all ages to voice of some to attractive ones and to butt area(that just shows it's ocd and it's similar to what you were saying). The reason for false attraction is anxiety. The reason you don't feel "attracted" to females is because you are struggling with a mental disorder. Your nervous system is in flight and fight mode struggling with ocd that it doesn't focus on pleasure and attraction. I'll be honest, ocd is not capable on changing your attraction!! Why? Because you didn't choose to be straight!!! You just are straight..(stuff like sexuality is usually influenced during pregnancy alongside some other factors)...the fact you struggle every ducking day with it shows it's a disorder (on this app, I come and meet, straight, gay and bisexual people that struggle with SO-OCD and trust me we all have soocd but our complaints are different) they avoid opposite sex because they fear they'll turn straight... it's like the inverse of our own but it's still so-ocd. You said it started in February🙏🏽 I know that feeling when you want to end it all because you're tired and don't even understand the struggle. I understand way more than you think and I know soocd is not about internalised homophobia or forced heterosexuallity but it's about our deepest fear of change in identity that we are really confident about exploited. If you were actually attracted to men, the intrusive thoughts would have been "what if I am not bi again" + you would feel relieved to be attracted to them, you won't be trapped in your mind or at home because of triggers. That is not attraction but ocd... saying that you were at home and couldn't go shopping tells me a lot about your ocd severity which I'm guessing is EXTREME OCD level(this is like the most extreme level of SO-OCD) don't fret, you're not alone I was also at this level, couldn't go out or even sleep. My soocd took six months to learn how to sit with it and get better..I had severe so-ocd and severe ocd themes take time to get better.. it's a gradual process but day by day it gets better

Try to not get engage with the thought, believe me, it's the path to recover. I am slowly recovering. 2 weeks ago I had a detailed plan to commit suicide and now I am enjoying music and hanging out with family/friends. There is hope :')

I've been at a point where I wanted to kill myself because of soocd not because I feared being gay but IT WASN'T ME, I couldn't even bring myself to see or like females romantically and sexually. They repulsed me and disgusted me.. I'm not saying this from a point of bigotism but from a point of "my body, brain and nervous system were repulsed because I'm straight"... it's affecting you because you've always wanted to be with a woman and get married and have a family that you cheerish(you do have that) and now that you do OCD IS ATTACKING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST VALUABLE THING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU TREASURE...you treasure your family, identity, your here and now, who you actually are and that says how much of a good person you are. Soocd affects people who are on the most extreme part of their sexuality spectrum...it be the most straight people, gayest people that be having soocd... forget here say of it can change you, it cannot change you (anyone who says soocd changed them definitely desired the attraction deep down...they struggled with suppressed attraction)... attraction doesn't start one day and plagues you, that's ocdddd. You're older than me and if you desired men you would have known since childhood (you would have known you felt something more for them from them) the fact it disturbs you shows it contradicts who you are....soocd is in top 2 most debilitating ocd theme because it targets our sense of self and that's the basis for communication and a lot more .. keep doing erp, less compulsions and live day by day... notice the gradual recovery... notice the little things like, ocd didn't stop me from doing this activity or I had less intrusive thoughts..ocd is a disorder, it won't be a disorder if it didn't trouble us like this and get resttttt...stress worsens ocd... recovery ≠ soocd gone.. it equals it doesn't trouble us again because we have known ocd is a liar..🙏🏽
