I am terrified of making new female friends but then I think like what sort of person is scared of making friends just because they’re the same gender? It feels like denial.

I have that too, especially with new female aquaintances. Makes me think I must be homophobic and mysogyn and I become even more ashamed... I don't experience it so much with females that I have been friends with before SOOCD, which is a comfort. But I do obsess over whether I might have had a crush on a female friend of mine a several years ago. It's odd because right now in the present we are still friends and I am sure that I don't have any romantic feelings for her and like her as a friend but I am so worried that it might have been different in the past. This disorder never gives you any rest, never letting you be present, making you obsess about the past or the future and what might be or might have been, but never what actually IS, it's exhausting

Did anyone experience SA as a child. I've come out and people have blocked me almost across the board. I know this isn't totally OCD but it kind of is because I have so much doubt on how to proceed. I have no evidence and I believe I'll fail so much. Can I get through the turmoil of this with OCD? I'm a friendless mess.

I haven’t posted here in a while but I just wanted to ask a question. While having ocd is it normal to have days when you don’t feel like talking to anyone even if you wanted to? I have felt this for a while and I can’t figure out why do I feel like that. Usually I’m a very talkative person and even when I don’t feel like talking to anyone I always talk to my boyfriend but now even talking to him feels like a burden and I just don’t understand why. This situation has also made my intrusive thoughts even worse:( Idk what to do and what to feel like, I’m feeling kind of empty and emotionless. I was diagnosed with ocd some months ago so I’m kind of new to all this stuff and that’s why I’m asking. I don’t want to ask questions in a compulsive way and I try very hard to avoid it if that makes any sense. I would be very grateful if someone could answer me:)
