yeah, they trigger me a lot. and any lgtbq stereotypes as well tbh. like, if you listen to x, you're .. lgtbq." it's so annoying how lgtbq ppl have implemented these false stereotypes based on popularity

It’s not the LGBTQ community that’s responsible for stereotypes.

@NOCD Advocate - Carl Cornett True, but from what I read online, it's the majority of them who had similarities to each other and then created the stereotype. For example: "If you tuck in your shirt like most lgtbq do, it's a sign." "If you listen to indie music, it's a sign." "if you do these things, it's a sign." "if you have a clear phone case and wear high tops, it's a sign"

i feel like i can’t like the things i used to like because of all of this. an example is playing cod, battlefield, basically anything related to shooting games because ‘it’s a boys game’. i feel like i can’t even watch any of my favorite movies from when i was little because of a thread i saw. ‘if you’ve watched monster high you’re either gay or depressed.’ and my mind said both. i woke up so worry free and the anxiety didn’t hit me at all. i was so distracted that i was going to dye my underlayer pink and now that a storm is going by, they closed the stores. i hate this so much.

i feel that. i’m hyper aware of what i look like and what i wear now because of stereotypes. it’s a weird thing because i don’t want to feel like i’m lying to myself when i try to wear “straight girl clothing” and i don’t want to trigger myself when i wear “lgbtq clothing”. i like my high tops and i like musicals and blush AND i like being straight. it’s my problem though, not anyone else’s and i need to learn how to not believe stereotypes.

People can perceive whatever they want. Or infer from it anything they’d like. If you enjoy it, it brings you happiness or satisfaction, then do it. Who cares if someone thinks that makes you any particular thing?

i feel you so much zeep. before anything happened, i really didn’t care about how i looked. i liked my style and i felt confident. i was just really carefree, but now it’s like my confidence just went vanished. i also really need to try my best to not believe stereotypes. they’re really unnecessary and it’s things like these that make people depressed, have ed’s, and all that type of stuff.

i feel like i can’t even wear my old clothes anymore. i’ve always been very versatile on my clothing choices, like some being tight and other being baggy.

Why not try to play the games you like?

i’ve tried and it clears my mind for some time, but when i play w my guy friends, my mind just goes blank and says to me that i’m ‘one of the boys’. and since most of my friends are guys, my mind keeps telling me that i’m somehow bi/gay because of it. it doesn’t even make sense how my mind associates that w my friendships.

@val ʚĭɞ YES! or it's like "why don't you like them?" "are you forcing yourself to like them?" EVEN THOUGH THEYRE MY GUY FRIENDS.

@stars thing is, i used to like one do them but i stopped because he got back w his gf😭 i absolutely respected his relationship and obviously backed off. something that also triggers me a bit is that i’ve always wanted to be a streamer since i’m a huge game freak, but hocd has slowly killed that dream of mine :///

Why straight men hate women so much
I know its cultural. I know its taught. I know they are socialized. But what Im struggling to find out is… the root? Why do so many men hate us? Why don’t they listen to us? Why do they disenfranchise us? why don’t they see us as human? i dont even know if it’s because we are physically weaker because I’ve seen men show respect to young boys much more than girls and woman. Its like they are capable of seen males as human but not us. But why? Its unfair and its making me really depressed

I’m so tired. HOCD is the worst.
I don’t know what to do with this bs anymore. I’m crying again and again and again and again. I cannot describe how painful this is. I’ve recovered from every single OCD subtype expect this one. HOCD is so scary and it’s so incredibly scary how it feels so real. The issue with this subtype is how intertwined it is with feelings and sensations. I hate how it keeps latching onto the past and uses the past as proof. I don’t want it to be the truth. I don’t want to accept any possibility.
