You need to work on accepting uncertainty and not relying on responses. You are looking for reassurance in our responses and most of us won’t give it to you because we want you to get better. There’s only so much we can say without giving reassurance. Sometimes it’s easier to not respond and let you sit with the uncertainty. Don’t let what you do with not responding to people impact how you view people who don’t respond to you. It’s not in the range of any of our rights to assume anyone is in denial. We wouldn’t want it done to us, so why do it to someone else? We want to help you. It’s just hard to keep responding without reassuring especially considering none of us are in the full mental space for it.

Probably the perfect response you could give

Honestly if I was you i would take a break from the app if your using it as a compulsion. Also I would recommend getting some professional treatment as soon as possible, looking for reassurance is a compulsion and is like lighting a fire, sit with the uncertainty and your anxiety will beging to decrease.

To me, I’ve seen a lot from you in the past hour or so begging for a response, that is an ocd compulsion. I know because I have the same issue. I would google the same question for hours and hours. You feel you need an answer instantly to release some of the anxiety, but truth be told, it will only make it worse and strengthen your obsession at the end of the day. I can tell you to just try to accept the possibility of whatever it is you’re fearing. Sometimes I remind myself it’s ocd. (I’m good at recognizing when I’m having and obsession at this point) if you just try to accept and not react with mcompulsions, eventually the anxiety will simmer down. I promise!! 💕

So
I just want to know the difference of someone who is gay vs someone who is just questioning bc of ocd. Like would you hear I’m gay im gay over and over and over again in your head but it didn’t feel right? But when I say this is a waste of my time im of course straight it feels like im lying but I know im not attracted to women at all I am certain of that. But picking a label is what i can’t settle on so this is my ocd or not

Love
I’m confused. I think I’ve gotten progressively more boy crazy and more of a hopeless romantic, but I’ve completely manipulated myself into thinking that boys just don’t like me and I think it’s a fact. In the past, I was confused and lost on what my sexuality was so I would be in a lot of “flirty” friendships thinking that I genuinely liked my female friends I had these friendships with but that was far from the truth. I can’t imagine myself being with a woman but for some reason it’s just easier for me to talk and flirt with them. I have trauma involving why I brainwashed myself into thinking that I’m a magnet that repels boys from me and I still think that and it’s ruining my brain. (I have a crush on this guy and texted him for the first time, he never replied!!!) which honestly proves my point even more. Am I right or is just all in my head? Some advice please!!

The phrase I’m gay just keeps popping up
Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair
