yeah yesterday and today i have been more busy going out and the thoughts are have somewhat lessened. why do you say i can't know? is it because i am not mentally stable enough? i really don't want to :(

@Nour04 I'm in the same place, other way around. The feelings get more intense the longer we think about it and more we care about said thought. You just need to let it pass through your head without trying to figure it out

@Nour04 you cant know because you are still dealing with hocd. it will never let you come to a conclusion while you are still dealing with it. none of us will know our sexuality until we are recovered. it sucks but thats the truth. continue working and you will gain clarity. ocd is extremely powerful so dont let it get to you.

@Nour04 im saying that there is a chnace you could be straight but there is also a chnace you could like girls. im not going to give you reassurance cause it will only make you worse. the truth hurts but its the only way you will get better. accept the uncertainty.

@Nour04 how can you accept you are gay if you dont even know if you are?? it makes zero sense. if you wouldnt want to do it then you dont. stop listening to the âfeeling i might like itâ cause thats the ocd fucking with you.

@Nour04 you are saying you âmightâ like it. thats basically the equivalent to a âwhat ifâ thought. ocd is doing all of this just to get under your skin. STOP RUMINATING ON EVERY THOUGHT THAT COMES ACROSS YOUR MIND cause thats what is making you feel like you are in denial. you are digging yourself into a deeper hole by thinking that every thought has a âdeeper meaningâ when its literally just a thought. its the same as thinking âwhat if i just jumped off that bridgeâ does that have a deeper meaning that you want to harm yourself? it might, it might not. you have to sit with the uncertainty of things cause that is what is making you worse and worse

@ocdomi but they all feel like i want them and like them, and there is no anxiety towards these thoughts. my checks and tests feel like fantasies because there is no anxiety when i think about them, it makes me feel like i want them and like them too :( i know that at this point people are bored of all the posting ans nagging i do, it's just that i genuinely feel like i like them because there is no anxiety

@Nour04 I just want to say I completely understand how you feel, I also have no anxiety when I check to see if I would like a scenario and it freaks me out and confuses me.

@b13 it feels good to know it's not just me and this just might be ocd. do you feel like you want them and like them too??

@Nour04 yes! and when I try to think about it with a boy I get really anxious and that makes me feel like I donât like it?? But I used to enjoy fantasising like that so its so confusing. I never know what to do.

Can hocd create mental feelings or things that resemble inclinations Without a physical response?, but such as arousal and mental attraction, for example, I have so ocd and I'm afraid that I might like women.So, in the last period, when I look at photos of girls, especially beautiful ones, I feel something strange or attracted,sometimes their bodies.And I'm confused as to what that might mean, it's like sexual orientation, is this from me or OCD produced by it?'The feeling is like the feeling of discovering new inclinations and this breaks me, I just want to reconcile with myself in any sexual orientation or identity, but I just can't feel comfortable and reconcile with the fact that I may like women or it may happen in the future.And I have these feelings that telling me messing around the girls would be fun, and I feel something like desire, but I never come to terms with this.. I'm going to be 15 years old, I know, I'm not supposed to think like that, I don't have the right to determine who I am now because im young, and I shouldn't continue to dream of marrying a man..My mind keeps reminding me of the fact that I'm a teenager and the likelihood that everything will change is high, but right now, I'm not asking for anything but rest.I want to love myself and reconcile with her.

My favourite animal is me when i cry because its possible to be gay and have hocd. Im so tired.i know im just 14.i know. Im simply like men.i know I shouldnât think about this,but my ocd keep telling me that im not,because i have no experience.I donât like or want women.i dont.i dont want it to happen.im not homophobic.i try to accept it because im afraid to not be honest with myself,but the pain is more and more. Im afraid that i wont love a man in future,and that i will love a women with no control..i hate that im just a silly teen that isnt âenough to know what i wantâ. I hate when people say im just young.i hate when my ocd say im just shame to be gay and im still homophobic because of my country(im a lgptq supporter and atheist for a year)i hate reading some people experience with hocd and they was really gay,i hate when my ocd tell me that when i travel to an open country to lgptq im gonne love women,i hate that it seems so true,i hate when i dont know whats ocd and whats not,but all i hope,that i heal from ocd..and still being straight..my peaceful dream..

hi guys i added to list. iâm freaking out i just need some help. signs of comphet (comphet is when lesbians who donât know it and just follow norms and believe there straight) ive felt: âI never felt anything when kissing boys and totally thought that was normal⌠I talk to men, go on dates, but I think itâs to keep my life âinterestingâ and have something to talk about with friends.â ⢠lack of deep, natural emotional connection ⢠⢠talking about my boyfriend to other people made me feel âcoolâ, âworthyâ, âinterestingâ and felt like a way to prove myself ⢠being able to clearly articulate all the reasons I liked a guy crush/my boyfriend (heâs smart, funny, kind, handsome, etc) whereas with a girl crush I canât exactly put my finger on why I like them but Iâm just naturally drawn to them ⢠never missing my exes or feeling heartbroken about them (i would feel sad from being lonely and no longer having that daily routine of having someone to talk to, but didnât necessarily miss that specific person) ⢠i was always very hesitant about âbecoming officialâ with a guy i would be seeing and would make him wait before deciding to date because i âdidnât know if i really liked him or notâ only being aroused by their the manâs desire for me ⢠Thinking I was cooler than other girls because I didn't spend any time thinking about how cute boys were or being "boy-crazy". I was under the impression for a while that I must just be less shallow than other people because I didn't really take looks into account when I had a crush on a boy, I only factored in their personality. chasing the ego boost more than emotional closeness agreed with friends or mom about someone being attractive even if you didnât feel itâanother big flag being bored, ditching serious commitment, chasing the drama again it also feels like iâm acting a lot of the time to make it more romantic cause i cringe When you fantasize about men, it is mostly just enacting a kind of narrative. More focused on movement than features- the men in your fantasies might be faceless or blank-featured or their bodies might symbolize some emotion. you might not even be in the in the fantasy, but instead another faceless woman might be. You might even imagine yourself as the man. The narrative follows the sexual script, but the details are more vague and abstract and might even shift and change throughout the fantasy. i dont care about like what guys looks like. like my sister saw a video of a guy working out and was like got damn omg gotta like that. if i saw that i would prob be like damn to try and prove something to myself but i donât really understand what i should feel it feels like i relate to so much comphet after i read it on reddit and it doesnât even make me want to cry and die anymore. it feels like i tolerate men or have done it for attention or because i thought it was going to happen at some point cause it was what was happening around me like sister and friends. iâm scared ill never find someone i want to marry thatâs a man it feels like itâs all just comphet and i donât want to actually be with a man the more my meds work and anxiety lessens the more the fear feels real because i canât get myself anxious about it anymore. i can about other stuff but not this. i always told myself i donât chase i attract. maybe thats cause i never wanted a big badly enough. maybe what im missing is a girl what if that ends up feeling more real Straight people donât need to talk themselves into whatâs hot. like during the hocd break i would try and like see what was âhotâ and and be like yeah thatâs hot. i also i refused to masturbate to women and not think about it because i didnât want it to prove that i still liked it but i mean idk if that was left over hocd
