heya 👋 anxiety and intrusive thoughts are often linked i think. (and in my experience) were you worried this guy would think about you? in an attraction way or in a judging way? avoidance is how anxiety gets prolonged. similar to intrusive thoughts, you can notice your thought and identify them as anxious or intrusive thoughts. this places you back in the role of someone observing your thoughts. :) i had immense anxiety in high school and college, mostly social anxiety related to what people thought of me. The best solution to this I have found is: You need to know yourself so well that no one’s view will affect your selfview! Confidence and being nice to yourself is good- would you judge someone else wearing a cute crop top? or would you be proud of them for being themselves and inspired to be yourself too :) I use that reframing as an opportunity to see my self expression as a truly good thing 🫶 i think the world is better when people feel free to be themselves. One way to get a clearer view of yourself is to dance around to music you like :) enjoy your style!!! You can also answer the 36 questions to fall in love just on your own! Or lookup a reflection question set about 2025. My friend has a few questions she asks on birthdays every year :) Enjoy getting to know yourself!!! Everybody is just a person dude :) I shied away from being weird and being myself as a younger kid. Be Brave 💖 people will recognize your authenticity and people will love being your friend. i’m sure of it :)

hey, i experienced this exact same worry when i was struggling with this subtype!! it’s literally just your ocd trying to detect danger and find evidence/confirmation that you are what you worry. it’s not proof. try to treat this like any other intrusion and just let it be while focusing on other things. you got this <3
