Does anyone ever feel like they’ve spent so long thinking/trying to figure out if they were the opposite sexual orientation (in my case; a straight female, trying to figure out if I am gay) that now it’s weird to think you’re not what you didn’t want to be.

Yes everyday I question myself if I really am guy and I spend time after time after time trying to figure out my sexual identity 🙃

Gay

Thinking if u r is the compulsion an its making it worse as it sinks u deeper and deeper into the cycle of trying to figure it out and all its going to do is make u think u really are gay. I was like this too. The more I thought about it or gave in to an intrusive thought or feeling, the more I felt like I was homosexual but once i stopped with all the thinking over something that wasnt true it went away FAST. I thank God I got out of that vicious cycle.

Yes, you are right. It’s the compulsion that’s driving me deeper into this cycle. Can I ask, what Reponse Prevention Message you found most useful in stopping this compulsion? For example, was it “maybe…maybe not?”
