It doesn’t matter what started it or when

The fact that you are obsessing about this and it’s causing anxiety all points to this being classic OCD. OCD latches onto things we truly care about or even fears that we have. You are not alone!! ❤️

That’s still an intrusive thought if you can’t make it go away. And it’s not evidence. Anyone can come up with “evidence”

I am having a similar issue, this is the first time I’ve met someone on this all that’s struggling to get into a relationship. Although I can’t help you with the confusion part, although I hope you get better! Sending positive vibes your way!

Mine is kind of similar too except my worry is that I am gay/lesbian. But many people I read about are actually already in relationships whereas I have never even had one.

I've never been in one due to my shyness/no guys were ever really that interested in me. So it's hard for me to out myself out there

@Sarahtonen Yeah same! I have always been super shy and have not had the best self-esteem. So, it has never happened for me which my ocd has attached to

@Sarahtonen Lol yeah it is the best thing ever. Then I start to feel weird about me being in a relationship since it has never happened. Like it's hard for me to picture myself in a relationship sometimes since I feel so shy and awkward a lot. So that doesn't help either

@Sarahtonen Lol I guess so. Good to know I'm not alone though. Because that's how I feel a lot of the time with everything.

Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.

There’s something that happens that keeps me stuck in a thought, it’s when I can see some part of myself agreeing with or relating to it in some way. That’s when the doubt creeps in. If I can understand *why* the thought is there, doesn’t that mean it’s not just random? Doesn’t that mean it actually reflects something about me? For example **(TMI/TW)**: I had the thought, *“I wonder what other people’s kinks are (including friends, family, even teenagers).”* And then I caught myself thinking, *“Well, I guess that could be interesting information… maybe I wouldn’t even stop someone from sharing it with me. Does that mean I actually want to know? Wait—does that make me perverted or incestuous for even having this curiosity?”* The same thing has happened with other thoughts, like wondering what someone’s privates might look like. I recognize that, on some level, that could be interesting—but does that mean the thought is truly mine? Maybe the answer is super obvious and I just can’t see through my OCD smoke. This was a bit embarrassing for me to write 🥲, but can anyone provide some insight?

I started having intrusive thoughts about my sexuality when I got into a relationship with my ex and I wondered if it would seemingly go away but it hasn’t and I find myself ruminating about it constantly especially before or during my period. Has anyone else felt with this?
