As a gay man who is very sure of himself, ill say that I do sometimes questioning whether other people are gay or not. But thats all it is, a question. Not a conclusion.

@Nour04 Nahh. I mean i may be like oh i wonder if they're gay cus its just a vibe i get from them, but then im like "well either way doesnt really matter in the end". Id say cus ur question is just based in OCD info, i can provide some info and say sexual orientation questioning is a common part of ocd. Like even sometimes i question my own. Tbh ive never heard of someome gay doing it as a form of projection but more so as a curiosity.

@AJDCTX12 it's because i worry my mum, siblings and cousins are. i try to find "proof" they are or aren't.

@Nour04 Id say this would be a good time to practice sitting and allowing uncertainry to come in and really say to yourself "maybe, maybe not"

my SO-OCD thoughts have projected onto others only like once or twice, but i want you to know that you are valid. you don’t need to seek certainty about whether this is projection of your “true” sexual orientation. i hope that sorta helped, i tried not to provide compulsive reassurance! but definitely accepting the uncertainty will ease the intensity and frequency of the thoughts

ocd projection onto another person! is it possible?
Have you ever had a thought about sexual taboo topics, when you have a person for whom ocd is attached, that you think "maybe that person wants that, that's the way he looks at me or what do I know" what if that person wanted it, and you feel an urge to do something about it, you say or what do I know?

Advice please!
I have been really battling with my SO OCD, and I’ve recently started to have a ton of wins!!! I’m really excited about it, but as I’ve noticed myself not engaging as much… different things have popped up. Now im obsessed with people’s perception on me, and them looking at me and thinking by how I walk, how I talk, what I wear, how I move… that I am gay? And am so convinced everyone thinks that and “knows something that I don’t”. Is that typical with OCD? If so, any ERP advice on how to overcome these thoughts?

2 nights ago I saw something on my phone and it has now spiraled into me scared of being trans or being gay because i don’t want to be… now i have a huge fear of what if i am gay and am attracted to woman or what if im not comfortable in my body and want to turn into a man. It’s freaking me out - my ocd always makes me question my character! Has anyone experienced this 😩
