Does anyone else with hocd/soocd look at other people and think they are gay or lesbian? I even had intrusive thoughts that my husband was gay but closested and only dates women because he comes from a conservative culture 🤦 like yesterday I was at a restaurant and I heard this guy's voice and kept thinking "he is gay'"

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

I checked if I had attraction to my mom 🤦🤮 even if the thoughts were true there is no way in hell I'd think of my mom in that way.

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.

@Anonymous If you ask me, nothing about OCD seems normal 🤣
