It was just anxiety about the post girl! that is why you had a bad feeling in your stomach. this is how ERP works, just next time try not to analyze your feelings :) it will only give the ocd more power to ruminate on your thoughts. If you were attracted to said person, you would know and not have to check and be super anxious about it. Just like when I see Chris hemsworth I know I’m attracted to him Hahah i don’t have to check ? even tho I’m happily married and would never do anything about it anyway so checking wouldn’t do any good to start with!

Sometimes something similar happens to me. I find something nice and light hearted and my thought process comes up with ways of ruining the moment by either ruining the thing or questioning how I even reacted to it. It's in some way self sabotage, bc makes it hard to enjoy things. It's not you, it's your thought process trying to trying to find things wrong in completely normal scenarios over anxiety. It's like your subconcious is waiting to jump at any moment to try and associate things,but the thing is this associations are completely irrational and unbased if you think of them objectively. Physical signs also, are supet relative bc the mind controls it and the same symptom can be related to varios types of emotions. You're doing the right thing by not letting it take over. You know who you are. ♡ Those are just wild owner-less thoughts going through your head, alongside many others. Do you recommend Gilmore Girls? I have heard a little bit of it!

Thank you for your replies guys, I always appreciate comments on my posts because they help a lot. And @Baba, yes I love Gilmore Girls! I started watching it a couple months ago and I am on the last season now. It's a very funny and wholesome show in my opinion and I would definitely recommend it!

Also @hales the thing about "you would know if you were attracted" is I always overthink and go well maybe I am attracted and I get anxious because I know that's wrong or something, you know? I always find a way to twist it around unfortunately

I keep wondering if I’m attracted to this kid I saw a week ago or not, it keeps happening, I can’t figure it out, what I hope is false attraction is feeling too real, I don’t wan to like the kid, I never wish to like kids, I genuinely feel like I’m just in doubt, I can’t figure it out, it feels weird, I don’t feel any guilt, shame, disgust, or panic, idk why but ik that I’m supposed to feel that, it makes me feel like I’m a real p. I barley get any negative emotion from those thoughts anymore, even when these thoughts started I didn’t feel shame or guilt, but I think I did feel worry and panic, I’m not sure anymore, I don’t remember.

There is one Athlete who is a month younger than me and he looks extremely young. Earlier this year I used to like him and his personality a lot but ever since I developed pocd, I keep getting scared over it. Add to that I just searched up on Twitter if finding him attractive is pedophilia or not and there was a tweet which was telling about 19 year old girls lusting over him when he was 15 years ago. I looked at his 15 year old pic thoroughly as a compulsion and he looked young in that but also beautiful/cute like any other teenage boy with pretty genes. I freaked out over thinking that he was beautiful and felt afraid that 'Was it sexual?' Then for a moment I tried to see in replies if anyone says that it is normal for a 19 year old to think a fifteen year old boy is beautiful and not pedophilia. Then I realized that why I was trying to justify a wrong for myself and I'm just so disturbed bcz why was I trying to justify it?
