wanting to google ... about so ocd or hocd

Hello, the internet can’t tell you what you are. Only you can as somebody that never had a relationship either until now I’ve always kept my life private from my family even if I was talking to a boy I never told them. Simply because of the things they said to me, I’ll d*e alone or I’ll end up with many cats (I don’t own a cat) I proved them wrong and I’m in the best relationship ever. Compared to my siblings relationships with men and how the men treat them, I’m glad I could see that growing up and know how to choose a man. My man is amazing, he respects me and my ocd. He’s literally perfect, and yes at one point my family did think I was gay but I didn’t care. It’s nothing wrong with that and I wasn’t offended more than them telling me I’ll d*e alone for absolutely no reason just them trying to be funny. Don’t worry about anybody and what they have to say, you’ll find your love. It’s okay to keep trying also I’m 22 and I finally let my guard down, age doesn’t determine anything. You’re finding the perfect person.

Googling what that means about you simply means you’re anxious and googling what it means… nothing can tell you who you are but you. I have had to learn that who cares what anyone thinks about you because all that matters is your opinion of yourself! Try not to give in to your compulsions but also remember that everyone is on their own timeline!

Hey! I'm 24 and also never been in a relationship and have barely ever been interested in anyone (only been interested in one guy my whole life) and some friends do think I'm gay and have asked me about it multiple times (I also never told them about that guy because I tend to keep to myself) and it is very triggering for my soocd so I understant you. I also have the thought that everyone is waiting for me to come out or that everyone "knows it" but me. But it's important to recognize that these are just thoughts and maybe people do think that, but other people's thoughts don't mean anything about who you are. And it's okay to be uncertain about your sexuality, people talk about it as if it's something that you simply just know but it's not always that easy. Some people just know who they are, for others it's not that clear and it takes having more life experiences to discover themselves and even then they might not be certain. I also think that these days there is a lot of pressure to fit a certain label and I think that for some people the label is clear but for others it's just "good enough". Maybe their experience is more nunaced, but their brain allows them to see these nuances as irrelevant because they might not even register that uncertainty, whereas ours doesn't.
