Yeah:( or like i noticed them before but it was never in a sexual way Like for me it’s boobs and as a kid i was always flat (like middle school) cause i was super atheltic and all these girls started getting bodies and boobs and i was at the awkward stage and mine looked funny, so i wanted to look like them but im scared i was attracted to them And that was right before hocd hit (i was 12ish), but before that never. Like i dont remember being attracted to them and wanting to do anything I still don’t and when i think about it my head heats up (in like an anxiety way….you know what i mean??) and i get nervous and scared and yeah:( ^do you feel that way too??

I’m scared it’s attraction and i dont want it:( And i also know i’m not attracted to them in that way, it’s like an uncomfy type feeling and i don’t know it’s weird and i’m scared i would like doing stuff if i just did it but i don’t want to and even as i thought of that i got like a weird feeling in my chest of like cold / hot like idk how to describe this Then i feel like i get all clamy The part that worries me the most is the feeling i get in my head and my face feels like flushed / heated and i don’t see people talk about this a lot Like does this sound like attraction??

@hate_ocd.123 Same! Like it makes me feel uncomfortable too and I’ve literally questioned the same thing as you. A bunch of what if’s… like what if I would like it and etc. and all of those symptoms sounds like it could be from anxiety. I know when I wake up in the morning feeling anxious, I also feel like heated and clamy.

@hate_ocd.123 That’s good!!! You remind me a lot of me and I think you’ll feel a lot better once you talk to them! Obviously only for a little bit because they don’t provide much reassurance but they will help you with your anxiety and tell you what’s going on! My first session is tomorrow and I do really think ERP is going to help a lot and has helped a lot of others :)

@Anonymous I really hope so. I feel really loss. Everytime i get an intrusive thought i hit my head to the point my hand is swollen and my head is bruised. And i scratch myself without realizing it so my arms are all scratched up. It’s really exhausting:(

YES LITERALLY SAME!!! It’s boobs for me too and it’s like what the heck is going on because I’ve seen them before. In like movies/shows or one of my friends is just really open with me and would literally just walk around with nothing lol and I have never been aroused or attracted to any of it. And I would compare my boobs to other girls too and now I have anxiety about whether or not that’s what I was actually doing. And I’ve gotten groinal responses before and that’s what really affected me. So now I feel like I can’t tell if it’s just my anxiety or real attraction. It really sucks.

I feel so ridiculous saying this. Has anyone struggled with looking down a people’s private areas since having ocd. I hate it, but feel I have to look or find myself just looking. I feel so guilty after and especially when it’s a women I kinda shudder after like why did I just do that. Ugh I hate this. I never used to have this issue but now I’m focusing on it my anxiety is going crazy with it . If people have experienced, how did you get over this??? My sexual orientation is thriving off this . I hate it

Trigger warning So I can’t stop wondering if I was attracted to this kid I saw a few days ago because I felt something that felt like genuine attraction, it made me worried I was a p, so I tried to leave the place immediately. I also had urges to look to check if I was attracted or not and urges to not to look. All of it made me feel like a genuine P. What is all of this I’m doing, are they compulsions? Or are they pr3detory actions?

I was in the car I suddenly noticed someone across the road, and I perceived something that looked attractive and se&ual, like exposed nice legs, and I thought, well let's look, it must be a woman. she wasn't. it was a trigger and i wasnt ready. she was wearing low cut shorts. and the thing is when i noticed how the body was too small i think it still looked someway attractive, my brain perceived that overall look as attractive or se&ual, like it "felt nice" (?) idk. it all happened very fast so i dont know a lot, but I got immediately disturbed as i noticed and perceived such a look. i dont know if i really "felt" as opposed to "perceived". I didnt have desire. I didnt want it. but was i attracted? that's a strong word, but im afraid that the brain still felt something "nice", like the overall look was attractive or nice, as an instant positive reaction <brain: "oh that looks nice"> is that normal? am i a ****phile? i wasnt ready. it was sudden as i checked, it took some time to fully process the information. if i knew from the first thing that it was a trigger as usual, in a slow manner instead of sudden noticing, i wouldn't have felt this much uncertainty and these disturbing unclear reactions, i would thought "this looks se&ual because it is exposed skin but im not attracted to it". all this time i thought that when i noticed certain body parts was because it just looked se&ual and because of ocd, after this im starting to think that i find certain looks attractive and i recognised a similarity. maybe, could it be that my brain took some time to fully process things, and because it wasn't ready it wasn't able to relocate in time what was appropriate and not? like piece of informations didn't have enough time to be fully processed so instead of coming into one clear image it was fragmented, and something attractive slipped through as a separated information from the subject...? im very distressed and depressed because of this. the final nail in the coffin for today; i want to kick the bucket.
