Idk. Girls never liked me growing up. They tend not to like me now. I always found haning with boys/ men easier. I very rarely have female friends. I’ve been told I’m pretty. Could that be it? In some cases I believe so. But I also have a very strong personality and am outgoing and loud so maybe that too.
Yeah, I have lost all hope in finding someone who is genuinely kind to me. I don’t know if I am too sensitive or just a girl that people get jealous of. I notice that a lot of girls know so much about me, and I don’t even know them. Today a girl knew where I studied, what I will study and knew things about my family, and I have never talked to her. She knows some girls that I studied with and I was so shocked at how much they know about me when I never talk to them
@🥰 I mean that’s one of my biggest problems with females is that they love to gossip. I’m not into it. I read your post to my husband and he asked if I wrote it! I wish I could say it gets better but it doesn’t. You just have to find one or two people to connect with. I know when I hang out with a group of women there will most likely be some form of dislike and I’ve accepted that.
@anonymous Yeah thank you for replying, it helps a lot to know that other goes through this too. And thank you for these tips it helped a lot! I am going to focus on meeting people that share the same energy as me! It’s hard but I think I will achieve it soon.
I tend to hang round with other girls because I don't want to loose their friendship (I literally had no friends a few months ago) but find boys far easier to talk to and get along with.
I feel like I need to see how you are, bc that’s based on personality. But I’ve experienced that too, which led me to have a small circle of close friends, who have more going for them, that they don’t focus on looks. Like, people who are busy and have lives focused on positive things in life, not clubbing or any superficial things, will be better people to have in your life. Idle hands are the devils playground. The more free time you have and not being focused, there’s time for negative emotions like jealously to come up. When someone’s happy w their life and busy and successful, they don’t really get jealous about that. They’re secure people.
I truly feel like I am a nice person but maybe a little bit closed. I am very outgoing but also an introvert, I am a very supportive friend and I am a very emphatic person. I don’t know why I don’t connect with any female friends
@🥰 Well where do you meet friends? That’s really important
@Anonymous I spent almost every day at home where I studied now because of corona. So I didn’t make a lot of friends there but now I meet people at parties. My only friend invites me with her boyfriend and his friends at these parties and I think many of those people are bad for me. They are not my type of people so I guess i should look for friends other places?
@🥰 Exactly lol parties. Yes, set yourself up in higher vibe places. Stay away from people who drink do drugs etc bc they do not share the same morals rn as people who are doing positive things w their life
@Anonymous Thank you for asking me that question, it made me realize that I probably have grown from that party and drinking state. Going to parties is something I am used to and therefor it’s been hard to realize that I actually don’t like it anymore but i don’t have anything else to do because I feel stuck in that place. I am going to take some time for myself and my growth now and stop drinking so much because I don’t really like it anymore.
Girls can be MEAN! That’s nothing about you or anything you can control other than not letting it get to you or feeding your intrusive thoughts. Unfortunately, you’re at an age where everyone wants to look like they’re having more fun than the people around them and that creates a toxic environment. Look for the people who don’t need to get drunk every time they drink and can just casually have one while you’re out to dinner. I have more fun at Wednesday night bar trivia than I do a party or a club!!
Thank you!! I have learned so much from your comments!
*ocd vent/story because i am not so sure if it’s ocd anymore* I always have anxiety attacks because of my ocd. I used to have ocd concerning how I looked like, with ticks and everything. I started comparing myself to every girl i found and that’s how I started noticing pretty people, mostly girls because i kept comparing myself to them. I told my parents and all they did was give me reassurance. it kind of made me feel better but just for the night. I had an anxiety attack every. Single. Day. I cried because of how my face looked like. But then, my hocd thoughts started out of nowhere with a dream where I was kissing my girl best friend. I was disgusted by it. I clearly remember in the dream that she enjoyed it more than me. I didn’t enjoy it at all. That’s when those thoughts about my body left me. I was completely surprised by it since I that came out of nowhere, I’d never had felt like that before, and I knew it was fake. Well, I dropped it and then around 2 weeks later I saw a friend and all I could think about was “what if I like her” and everything. I gave myself reassurance with quizzes online to see if I was bi and it said no so I dropped it again and didn’t really think about it. Then, again, 2 weeks later the thought came out of nowhere when I was watching a video. Then I first started thinking I could be bi. But again I woke up one day thinking I was a lesbian and those thoughts didn’t leave me alone. I started crying every single day because of them. I couldn’t even watch a movie with girls in it because it made me feel anxious. I slowly started losing my attraction then. I found out about hocd and i instantly knew that was me. Well, I was disgusted by being intimate with girls. But then my ocd kept getting worse and worse until I didn’t know if I would like them or not. Every single guy or girl I saw I imagine to see if I could like a relationship with one. When I see a hot guy and can’t imagine myself with one I put myself down because my head keeps using that as evidence. Every couple I see I now think the girl is pretty than the guy and it really bothers me. I can see a hot guy and feel nothing. The worse thing is I used to have a small crush before this happened. I hate this, I feel lost and I don’t know what to do. My head keeps telling me “you’re a lesbian” even when I am not doing anything. When I am happy I put myself down because my head keeps telling me “you’re a lesbian” and I think I am going to disappoint my parents. Or when people talk about my sisters boyfriend I just can’t imagine myself with a boyfriend anymore, all I could think about is the word “girlfriend” and it really bothers me. I keep thinking If i am ever going to be as close with a guy as my sister is with her boyfriend- always kissing him. But when I try imaging it and intrussive thought of a girl comes along. Sometimes they even are of how my life would be with a girl, and it makes me so anxious and fearful because i don’t know if I would like it or not, i don’t really know what i am feeling anymore. I am not ready to have a relationship yet but it would be nice to not have these thoughts and know for sure. Sorry if this is so long, I just don’t know anyone that’s having the thoughts I am having right now concerning my ocd, I am not sure of anything anymore.
Do some of you have the same problem ⁉️ I don’t see myself as very beautiful and boys hardly recognize me and never ask me for a date and my HOCD tells me that „women definitely would ask you for a date“ and that I will never get a boyfriend so I should go with women. I always knew I never had a relationship because of my very (!) low self esteem but now my HOCD tells me that’s because of my HOCD.
Hey guys so i wanted to see if this could possibly be ocd or maybe something else idk lol and im not trying to like get reassurance km just curious cuz i’ve never thought about this until now. So my whole life especially recently since i’ve moved to college, i always analyze whether or not i fit in with people. I’ve always been pretty hard on myself my whole life aboit feeling different than my friends or just feeling like i don’t understand how everyone can just be themselves so easily and not anxious or how i think people are just more likable than me. i don’t know if that makes any sense, but i feel like i’ll hang out with a group of girls and then afterwords i’ll be like why do i feel like i wasn’t the same as them or why do i feel like they’re better than me etc. just constantly trying to figure out what’s wrong with me and why im different then them. I think that may have been ocd itself or maybe not im not sure. recently i’ve been struggling with trans ocd and my mind often likes to think back to that and how my whole life i’ve kinda worried about how i felt different than all the other girls . it scares me cuz it makes me think that maybe i really am not a girl and i just haven’t realized it until now. but now im realizing that those worries from my whole life might have just been ocd to begin with. idk if any of this makes any sense and im just rambling on and on but im just curious to see what u guys think
