Going crazy

My feelings are everywhere at the moment and i can’t think straight. I’ve recently started talking to a boy and I’ve met up with him twice. He’s a lovely guy and I think I do like him but idk if I’m attracted to him atm he’s not really my exact type and that’s what’s driving me crazy because what if I’m in denial about my “sexuality” and I’m lying to myself? And I’m panicking like mad because everything is going so fast that I can’t think straight. I’ve never really been in this situation before. He’s also being really kind to me and I know he likes me so his intentions are clear but that’s what’s scary, whenever he messages me now I feel overwhelmed 😭 If anyone has experienced this could you share your experience? Thank you.

That does sound scary! It's always so frustrating when you can't figure out if you like someone or not. Since your bio thingy says you have SOOCD, my best advice would be to simply not engage with those thoughts. "Maybe I do like him, maybe I don't." Until your ocd flare-up cools off, maybe you could try to stay in friend mode until you can think clearly. Or, since you think he's sweet, you could just go for it; if he's a good person what's the harm? I know someone who has SOOCD, and it made it so he really couldn't decide if he was attracted to one of his friends or not. But, since they knew each other well and she really liked him, he decided to go for it. Because if you already know the person is cool, there's no harm in spending more time with them! Now, they are officially bf and gf and very happy. It doesn't always worm out that way of ofc, but a way to really expose yourself could be to go out with this guy and disengage from your ocd trying to question it. And if after a while you're really not feeling it, you could break up or stop seeing him.

@Anonymous Thank you so much for replying and sharing your advice I really appreciate it <3 I’ll do what you suggested as it does help when I try to not engage with the thoughts and just let them be there. Thank you again xx

Overthinking this guy again…

Every time we go out together and it’s not just us it’s also our manager and her son and his (the guy I’m talking to) roommate. We went to church one time alone. But my thing is I keep overthinking “am I leading him on” I still don’t know what to feel just and I’ve never been in a relationship. When we see each other we hold hands and and hug but I don’t want to kiss just yet even though I get the feeling to because I want to take it very slow especially when. I’m constantly overthinking everything. We hang out and I’m having a good time and then I go home and overthink a lot. It’s worse when I’m overthinking when waking up. Has anyone else experienced this. Like we’re friends right now but does anyone think it’s to soon to be holding hands and hugging. We held hands the second time meeting because I’m aware I want to take things slow. When I see him I get happy. I keep seeking reassurance from my mom, sister and google (of course) and I keep seeing post that you shouldn’t lead someone on and you can’t force to like someone. I overthink and then I’m calm and the thoughts start again. I really don’t want to hurt this guy he is so sweet and caring

so-ocd seems to be flaring up again

I haven’t posted on here in a few days because I was feeling better but the past two days I’ve climbed my way back down the rabbit hole it seems. There’s this guy that I’m interested in and he seems to be interested in me. He keeps calling me pretty and how he’d like to meet me (he’s friends with my friends but I haven’t met him properly yet lmao) But I keep getting thoughts like “you’re not interested, you like women” and so on. I was feeling giddy about the whole thing up until two days ago where everything just seemed to shut off like my attraction, excitement and so on. I can’t believe I’m going through this again and I’m really trying to accept the thoughts but it’s so debilitating as I really want a bf but my brain keeps passing through thoughts that I do not want at all. Does anyone relate? Or have any coping strategies to help?
