Oh yeah, this happens to me all the time. Ever since SO-OCD, I've been assuming and jumping to conclusions about people's sexuality.

@strawberry ice cream I once assumed that a new friend of mine was a lesbian just because she changed our group chat pic to a random girl. 🤦🏻♀️😣

lmao i even thought my mom was gay and i like started looking for "proof" and started taking notice of how she looked at women and my mind would go like "that's sus, your mum's probably bi in the closet. doesn't it make you sad that she couldn't live up to her full potential?" and like my cousin too

Oh for sure! There are people who have SO OCD strictly about their significant other. Just treat it the same though

That's wild. I wasn't looking for reassurance I was genuinely curious because it seems bizzare.

hocd and scared it’s internalized homophobia
I’ve been struggling with HOCD for years, and it started with an intrusive thought about being gay when I was younger. It came up at age 12 and ever since, I’ve been trapped in a cycle of doubt and anxiety. I obsess over whether or not I’m secretly gay, even though I don’t feel that way at all. What makes it worse is the fear that I might have internalized homophobia, and that’s why I’m having these obsessive thoughts. I worry that my anxiety is a sign that I’m repressing something or rejecting part of myself. It feels like my mind keeps repeating the same question—am I gay?—and no matter how much reassurance I get, the fear doesn’t go away. I used to pray for my family members, fearing that if I didn’t, something bad would happen to them, and now it feels like I have to control these thoughts, or something will go wrong. For a while, it was quieter, but a week ago, the thoughts spiraled up again, and now the anxiety feels overwhelming again. It’s exhausting, and I don’t know how to break free from this constant loop of doubt. Has anyone dealt with the fear of internalized homophobia alongside HOCD? How do you manage the anxiety that comes with it?

SO-OCD
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.
