anyone else worry about other people's sexual orientation and if they're gay? os it consistent with ocd?? because someone told me that gay people do that as a form of projection and now i am worried that means i'm gay

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.

do you analyse it?

@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"
