That’s a good question: From my experience, If I jumped into the compulsive need to find an answer, I never found one because the fuel behind finding the answer is an anxiety fueled need to answer the question. Than rather than getting a satisfactory answer, your mind comes up with more questions, and is still fueld by fear, and it creates and existential loop. Calming aporoaching the answers in a mind not filled with anxiety is the way to gather true information and true answers, but getting to that point is difficult.

I see. I've noticed that when I do my compulsions too much I start to backfire more often. For instance, when I test my sexuality after a streak of days of not testing I usually get the answer that I want. But after a while of constantly testing it usually backfires after a certain point. And after continuously testing, It begins to backfire more

Lately my OCD has been very horrible, it’s been more convincing than ever to the point where I’m genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, I’ll hear my intrusive thoughts go “oooh, I like that, I’d do that.” and I just don’t freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and I’m just lying now, i can’t tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since I’m getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and I’m worried about that being true because I don’t understand nor know It’s like I am resisting to like this stuff now, it’s even tougher now than it was before

I know the truth deep down but I am just doing compulsions to try and convince myself that I have OCD. I try to look up and find things exactly the same and me in experiences how I feel and everything else and it becomes worse when I can’t find the same person as me. I know people do compulsions to make sure they love there partner but I feel like I do compulsions to CONVINCE ME it is ocd
