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.

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 :///

i keep seeing people on here saying they never questioned their sexuality before and it makes me sick because i have and this is further proof that i am in denial. i questioned it though not because i liked a girl, but because i fit a lot of those stereotypes and started believing tiktoks saying stuff like "if you do this you're bi" or "if you like this you're bi" and some of them applied that's why i thought i was bi, but even then i didn't fantasize about girls and didn't feel like i was truly bi. but this makes me sick to the stomach. this doesn't feel like hocd anymore, it just feels like i am struggling with my sexuality and i hate it. i just please i don't want to like girls or be with girls please :(
