OCD is interesting isn’t it. The cool part is, it doesn’t matter right? You had a crush on him. Cool :) I know it’s hard to tell yourself that but the more you learn to trust yourself, the less the question will matter.

it’s like OCD doesn’t want me to have anything that brings me the slightest amount of happiness. i HAVE to doubt it.

@empathmind OH MY GODD, that’s exactlyyyy what happened to me. like exactly. i noticed it and i was like dang i wish i had a body like that and then i kept looking at her body because i had created a mental attachment to looking at it after i kept looking into why i looked at it the first time so then my mind kept saying omg are you attracted to her. tbh it’s rarely my mind TELLING me i’m attracted to a girl, it’s always the question of “am i attracted to her”

@empathmind groinal responses have been a big thing for me lately. they’re not really tingling sensations they’re more of like a muscle contraction down there. and i’ve realized i get them wayyy more when i see something and i’m like omg omg you’re gonna get a groinal response oh god and then it hits and i freak out. but sometimes they happen when i see things and it not even thinking about them happening and that’s when i get freaked out. but then again i’ve noticed now that they happen so randomly. like i could be staring at a wall and it’ll happen but then my mind tells me i was thinking about a girl or something

@kaysf yeah I’d say groinal responses are the main thing i struggle with. i used to watch lesbian porn because i preferred it because it focused more on pleasuring the female body vs. straight porn which is more focused on pleasuring the man. and i think that is the main thing that keeps my hocd going. so now whenever there is a picture of a girl in a swimsuit or even just a girl in general, my mind somehow relates it back to porn and then feels the need to give me a groinal response. but also, if if you anticipate that you are going to get a groinal response in any situation, you will more than likely get one. your mind plays a big part in it.

@empathmind it’s so frustrating because i have always pictured myself and wanting to be with a boy. i hate that i just happened to stumble across lesbian porn at a young age and happen to like it...i think it confused my mind so much and triggered a lot of anxiety. ugh.

Do our minds imagine someone to look more attractive than they actually are in real life? I get aroused when I get images of this one guy and it feels like I really want to have sex with him but at the same time I try to push it away. I feel like there’s a part of me that is curious and wanting to explore, but I have a boyfriend and I love him and I only want him.

Okay, just wanna start by saying that I don’t have ROCD. I have perfectionism OCD, and I get intrusive thoughts that no one will like me, I’ll lose all my friends, I’ll be alone for life, etc. if I don’t have things “just right.” I feel like every time I like someone, my OCD just gets worse cause if I don’t perform compulsions, I feel like I have no chance with him. Your handwriting wasn’t smooth? Guess your love life won’t be either. The volume of your phone was too low? Guess your chances with him are too. Failed to draw your graph perfectly symmetrical? Guess what else you’ll fail at. It’s honestly exhausting, and that it isn’t even it. I feel like I tend to fixate on my crushes also. I wanna be 100% sure they’re a good fit before making a move, and that’s really problematic cause there’s just no way to know. And even if I deem that they’re a good guy, I STILL won’t do anything cause I always expect the worst! What if the first impression that I make is so bad that he wants nothing to do with me? I put so much pressure on myself to get him to like me back that I’m terrified to make a move. I’m so focused on the prospect of a second convo that I don’t even want to have the first convo! Like rn, there’s this dude that caught my eye. He’s a senior in high school, while I’m a junior. I’m taking AP bio, and he’s taking AP chem—both are 1.5 periods, so I see him in the cafe and during the passing period (we leave the cafe halfway through the lunch period). I purposely plant myself next to him in the halls during the passing period but haven’t worked up the courage to talk to him. He’s single, I don’t have any classes with him this year, he’ll be at college next year, we follow each other on instagram, and my friends have told me that he’s nice (and keeps to himself), so there’s minimal risk in trying to talk to him. Thing is though, every time I think about introducing myself, I just imagine all the ways that it can go wrong. What if he hates me? What if my first impression is actually good and we become friends, but he doesn’t like me back? What if I tell him I like him over messages, and he screenshots my text and posts it on his instagram story? I don’t know what to do. I know that high school is kinda early and that I still have time to figure things out. I’m just worried that I still won’t have things figured out when I need to. Any advice or personal experience would be welcome and greatly appreciated!

so, my intrusive feelings started over a thought about a guys arms being attractive, and i still think big arks are attractive, but i hate his face? and his personality, so would it still be false attraction? if i like his body but not his face or personality because i have every single false attraction sign, but i just like his arms/body. someone please lmk!!
