Hey I know what you’re going through. Just ignore the thoughts and understand that you are not alone. You have to accept the uncertainty because you can never be certain about anything in this world. After a while of just letting the thoughts come and go, they will be less intense. Also, remember that the theme does not matter. You are not fighting whether or not you’re a pedophile, you’re fighting the OCD. Don’t give in to compulsions and ignore the thoughts, you’ll be okay.

I don’t want to give reassurance because that will not help you in your journey! This is your OCD making you think that you NEED to know if you’re a pedophile or not and if your thoughts are normal. I will say that everyone gets intrusive thoughts (even those without ocd) but we latch onto them because they scare us. Tell the thoughts, questions, and worries ‘Who knows? Who cares? I will accept the uncertainty!”

I’m getting pretty good at ignoring the smaller ones, but things that are disgusting to an extreme are really hard

I usually just say in my head I’m not attracted to them, I just think they’re cute, but I was hanging out with my friends and there was a boy who was maybe in the eighth grade (we’re in 10) and they started saying he looked like a French boy and I spat out “yeah he’s cute (not in the crush sort of was)” to reassure myself and then my friends laughed and said “ha you’re a pedo” and I got really guilty

There’s nothing abnormal about thinking a kid is cute, just like we think dogs are cute. Them making that joke is extremely disrespectful. Even if you didn’t have this theme, they shouldn’t say things like that. Please don’t let them get to you, keep fighting and do ERP.

Is it normal to think someone two years younger than you is cute?

Ooookkkkk so I’m not sure if this is POCD or not but here goes. I’ve briefly mentioned it in a post, but not in much depth. Basically, there a 12 year old character in a film that I literally LOVE. And initially it was because of his personality in the film and all that, but now I’m scared it’s about what he looks like. He’s attractive and I can’t deny that, but I’d hate to think that I only like him because he’s young. And the issue is, I get happy when I think about him or watch edits about him because he’s such a great character. I just don’t want that to be because of his appearance. Dhjssjjsjshdueiwis.

This sucks the most
I was just watching a commercial and I saw a kid actress and all I was thinking was “hey I think I know them” and I just felt fluttering in my face, chest, and towards my growing and I wasn’t even thinking anything sexual. All I was thinking was hey I think I know them and I was getting the reactions. This is why I think it isn’t just ocd. I find adults attractive and I don’t get the same reaction as I do when I’m just looking at a kid and not even thinking anything bad. If ocd can make you do this I hate it. I don’t want to be a pedophile and I hate that I have convinced myself I am.
