I understand. I’m heterosexual but I have HOCD that leads me to believe that I’m bi. I don’t want to be (not that I have an issue with people that are). It just doesn’t sit right; it feels like my brain is trying to identify with someone that isn’t me. It makes me stressed but I get intrusive thoughts making me believe that I’m in denial even though I generally feel uncomfortable. Sometimes it gets really intense and I disengage from social events, I get headaches that last hours (I had a two hour long headache yesterday) and I break down and cry. I’ve lost who I am. I’ve always been into blonde sporty men (similar to Zac Efron and Paul Walker). I’ve never longed for anything else. Regardless, HOCD still plagues me and my brain jumps to conclusions if I admire someone for their looks, style, haircut, etc. It’s draining and upsetting.

I get that. I think that those few guys I was attracted to may have been for the specific aspects I like about someone (long hair, glasses, nice voice) but I didnt really feel attracted to the entirety of them like I do with women. My OCD was convincing me I was straight, now that I'm bisexual. I fully relate to what are you saying. It just doesn't feel right and isn't me. I never could in my life see myself enjoying being with a man in the real world, besides the idea. Even if he was perfect I still wouldn't want all of him. I do not like male bodies and have things I have about them. Even though currently almost all of mg favourite singers are males, I don't exactly like male voices in general. The smell makes me nauseous. Personally I find typically attractive guys that a million girls lust over lowkey repulsive. I don't know why I thought about having sex with those guys and kissing them though while I haven't thought of any other guys in that way. My OCD says I'm in deep denial and that in my heart I'm bisexual, but if you would've asked me before, ever since I had feelings for attraction (but before I slipped into denial because of the homophobic environment) I would've told you women is all my soul has ever known and all it wants. And I do too feel lost. But we'll make it through.

@fenna I’m going through the same thing as a heterosexual.
