Well im not sure how to deal with this?
I fought with similar thoughts before but everytime it feels different and i don't even know if me writing this down will reinforce my ocd but i wanted to share. First of all this is ROCD because i have a loving relationship and this thought is disturbing me well I have a gay friend who ill meet tomorrow and watch a band together, me, him and other friends. He sent a video in the groupchat we have mentioning me and when i saw the video i smiled and i thought he looked sweet? Cute or good looking?? I dont really know just something in between while watching the video. And i smiled while watching it... My minds telling me, "What now? Even though he is gay he is a guy and you're straight. You want something with him? You smiled and if your boyfriend knew about all this he would be upset. Thats wrong, the thoughts you had and that you smiled." And more. First of all this is so disturbing because I know its normal to recognize someone is good looking but i also know my mind is using this against me because i dont wanna cause any harm to my relationship or upset my boyfriend.I know how to respond to intrusive thoughts healthily but this time it feels like i can't let this go too. I honestly dont know anymore. And the fact that i think he is a good looking person is just making me feel worse, even though there isnt any thought other than that thinking that alone makes me feel bad. I shouldn't ask for reassurance, and i already know the way out of the intrusive thoughts but this feels heavy.
