I have been horrible at making new friends of the same sex recently. Meeting new girls makes me scared I’ll meet the one who will confirm my fears.

I want to confront this fear so badly.

Same here. Around women I get this tightness in my chest and an imense anxiety that something sexual is going to happen. It makes me feel like a monster or predator. It’s like I want to do something to find out if all of my thoughts and fears are true but at the same time I am sooo scared.

I feel sure it’s the ocd. I know reassuring is feeding into it but I never have these fears around men I’m attracted to and I’m also in a healthy relationship with a man.

Sometimes I fear men will think I’m single and flirting and I’ll have to tell them I’m in a relationship but never the level of intrusive thoughts like omg am I sexually aroused or am I gonna have sed with him type thing

@BingBong1! You’re absolutely right. Don’t freak out but im actually crying because im so sorry that you are going through this too. Like you are so brave to be with the person you want to be with and then have to deal with this crap that basically says you made a mistake. If someone hasn’t told you, I really just want to say I’m proud of you.

@BingBong1! Thank you! Sometimes this app is triggering but most of the times so helpful to hear and interact with people who understand what you’re going through

Do you perhaps experience things like being so frustrated and numb because of how much your ocd drains you ? Then you are naturally caught up in a compulsion where you’re “physically testing” yourself to lets say something you watched years ago that is usually against your orientation?? If you know what I mean ? Even though you know you are (your own sexuality) and are in a very loving relationship and you really love your partner but does anyone experience this ?? And then they’re faced with more thoughts about how they’ve betrayed their partner and how their partner will leave and if you also struggle with scrupulosity ocd you feel like you’ve committed a huge sin and betrayed your faith ? Again I get all of this goes against values and that the human body may still react to things we naturally may be against but anyone still falls for the testing and then has this awful reaction afterwards? And does that really mean I betrayed my partner ?? Thank you so much for your time and I would really love your insights as this is something that popped up with me out of the blue …

people who have so-ocd, do you feel like you’re lying to your partner secretly. i don’t know why i get these intrusive thoughts but my mind continuously keeps making scenarios where i will leave my girlfriend in the future for a man. i want to stay a lesbian forever and i don’t want to hurt my girlfriend and it makes me so upset that my brain makes these thoughts up. i really hate all these thoughts and i don’t want to be with a man, i don’t want to be attracted with one, i don’t want to like one or anything related to one.

I wouldn’t really say I have SO-OCD, but it manifests in some areas of my TOCD. Like if I see a woman for example my thoughts will go “what if I like her but as a man?” like my thoughts say I’m a straight man instead of a straight woman. And it’s really bothering me. If I see an attractive woman my brain will re-wire and imagine myself as a man looking at an attraction woman and it gets super uncomfortable that I have to like shake my head and say “no no no no no” multiple times to get the thought out. I know that counts as a compulsion but it’s hard to not do it because it’s so triggering. Now I don’t mind if I like women, however I’m really scared that I’m actually a straight man who likes women (or at least a bisexual man, considering I like men) and I hate it because I don’t want to be a man. Like I’ll think of my desired relationship as a woman dating a man but my OCD will switch it up to me being the man dating the woman, which is the opposite of what I want. I don’t want to be a man at all and I don’t want to date a woman, both of those are the opposite of my desires, but I’m still so scared. I’ll accept myself if I actually like women and am a bisexual woman, however I heard that being bisexual can mean being trans which scares me (for the record it was said in reddit by a sub which is mainly focused on a pseudoscientific phenomenon, that is still believed by the members to be true, so it’s definitely not a trustworthy statement, but my OCD will use anything to work against me) Does anyone here relate a little? 🥲
