i think you are confusing admiration to attraction!! There is a slight difference, and you can still be attracted to somebody without being the opposite sexual orientation it’s completely normal for humans to be attracted to others. everybodies story is different you can’t apply everyone’s story to yourself, I’ve learned that the hard way, whenever I see somebody else’s story I kind of bring it to myself and say what if I’m like that when in reality deep down you know you’re not like that and if it scares you then you know you’re not like that!! stay positive and keep your head up

Thank you such much for your kind response! I agree I hear anyone’s coming out story and my brain immediately goes “well that must be the exact same for you then” when in reality it’s not haha! I unfortunately made the mistake of reading the Master Doc thing a few months back and it’s totally ruined me :(

@MelodyOCD I’ve always loved my crushes on make celebs and dreamed about being with them/ having a boyfriend like that, so to read that having crushes on male celebs might mean I’m not straight really freaked me out, as the master doc said the same :(

@MelodyOCD Omg I feel exactly the same!! I always compare myself to other people and think this is me and I also made the mistake of reading the masterdoc and it ruined me too. Now I’m just trying to resist compulsions as much as I can but it’s hard.

@Lara_S The master doc has effected so many people with this theme from what I’ve heard, I honestly wouldn’t have relapsed into my old ocd ways if I hadn’t of discovered it! I wish I could wipe my memory of it

@MelodyOCD I’ve read the master doc and felt like I related to so many points, then if I didn’t I would do something or think something up that could count for it. I then used the master doc as an exposure and it doesn’t phase me now. What I’ve noticed with the master doc is that even most straight women could still relate to those bullet points, but it would t bother them or stick with them because they choose and want to be with men. Same with coming out stories, we can have similarities or relate someway or another, but at the end of the day we can choose who we want to be with/who we are! Not to give any reassurance, I know ocd will always come up with a “but” as it normally does even as I type it is for me.

@Corie Yes very true! That’s amazing that the master doc doesn’t effect you anymore, honestly I admire you so much! That’s a 10 suds for me atm and I know eventually I’ll have to read it again for exposure which I’m dreading, and yes you’re completely right there’s always a “but” haha it’s horrible in like damn brain lemme resttt hahha
