I’m 16 and never had a boyfriend and I get quite sad about this I think that no one will want to be with me because of my ocd

Do you feel you have to share every detail about your ocd to somebody you would want to date?

I think it depends on the person and how much information they require to know about it. It’s a real guessing game, I find.

@ProsperwithOCD Yeah I deal with primarily HOCD , SO-OCD , TOCD I feel like I would need to say otherwise I would feel guilty

@hiiiii I think it creates a guilty feeling for sure if you give it too much thought

I’m 18 and my boyfriend and I have been dating for almost two years. He doesn’t have OCD but he is very understanding and patient. You’ll find someone I promise❤️

I wouldn't. I think we would drive each other crazy

I’ve told my boyfriend pretty much everything about my OCD. I think the ROCD is definitely hard for him because to an outsider it seems made up

Would be nice, but I feel like a defective and wonder why anyone would want me :( :(

I think we all feel that way. Just sit with it and enjoy the relationship.

Am i wrong to not want to date another person who has ocd ? I’m scared that would be too much for both parties. But then again I’m way too much for my partners anyway
