It’s okay since they’re 18 and considering you’re not too far off from 18 years old yourself. I think you should be more worried if they said they were 11,12,13,14,15,etc.

i just don’t think they should chat with them. especially since they’re freshly 18. theyre possibly still in highschool. just to cut everything short they should just not talk to them.

@pai 😽 It’s best for him to ask his therapist but if 18 is a legal age and most people will say 18 you are a grown person and it should be fine, but in the end we can’t give in to our ocd to recover.

@ocdlizard See like, I really don’t understand the age of consent in America. It should be at least 20 in my opinion, because you can have “legal adults” who are in high school as has been said previously. I have no intentions of talking to this person outside of the context of just being friends.

@ocdlizard Also I’m not open to my therapist about POCD, I haven’t been diagnosed with anything officially as of yet, but I know this is what I’m experiencing. I know logically outside of this disorder that there’s nothing to worry about but due to the “amygdala glitch” (as I like to call it) I have unnecessary worries.

@pai 😽 I’m not straight. Also I kinda feel like your comments are not very helpful in this situation considering your last statement.

@pai 😽 Also, no, there is no simple fix with ocd, ESPECIALLY with this theme. The fact that I’m talking about struggling with POCD and you’re commenting triggering stuff under my post is disrespectful.

@0Aqi0 oh i just re read and i didn’t realize you already blocked her and made a choice. sorry about that then. i thought you were maybe still activly pursing a relationship with her and then also saying you think it’s pedophilic. that was what my confusion was coming from. so i’m sorry if i was rude or caused you distraught.

i wasn’t saying pocd was easy or a simple fix i know first hand it is irrational torture. i misunderstood what you were saying. i didn’t mean to trigger you.

So one day a couple months ago I saw some posts on threads pop up on instagram and they said I’m 17 and horny and 18 and horny or I think I even remember see a 16 year old one. I’m 20 and I remembered that when those popped up I clicked on them and I don’t know if I did it out of true attraction or out of the urge to make my anxiety go away. I feel like often times if I see something that says any number under 18 even if it has nothing to do with age it could be talking about season 17 of a tv show my mind immediately goes what?? 17??? And then I click on it to make my anxiety go away. So when I remembered all of this I downloaded the threads app because I wanted to see if I could get reassurance and see if I could rekindle how I felt in these moments. When I opened the app all I saw was posts like that but everyone claimed to be 18. The only problem is none of the girls looked 18 they looked like 14-16 so I started to panic I and worry that because I clicked on the threads in the past it popped up more and I was a pedophile for that. All of the accounts all pretty much had only fans links so at that point I was like well they have to be 18 then but now I’m worried that maybe it’s a scammer and they are using underage pictures of girls and putting them on onlyfans. Which I know is out of my control but I just feel like a Pedo and like I did something wrong. Does anyone have any advice? Or have any similar situations/ similarities with this?

when I was 15 soon to turn 16, I met this girl in a IG group chat made by our mutual friends. We started talking and eventually we started flirting and talking sexual towards each other, though eventually we stopped talking because she was being really weird. A couple months later In July of 2024 my friend found out that she was actually 13 and that she lied to me about her age. It's been 10 months since l've found out and I still feel so disgusted in myself. I had my suspicions at the time but I let them go since she said she was 16 turning 17. I was completely oblivious trusting someone I only knew online especially since i've never seen their face either. i'm struggling on what to do since i've been suffering with POCD since I was 15. Till this day I still feel weird and disgusted in myself because of that. But it feels ironic since i'm sexualizing someone that's 2 years younger than me and I waited to confirm she was around my age range to sexualize her. I feel so weird and guilty about it idk what to do

I thought when someone add young adults with ocd, mid-life adults with OCD, or older adults with OCD were actually adults I’m worried because I would look at someone profile and assume they’re legal age and talk to them now I’m just like I probably exposed them to inappropriate stuff because of my thoughts
