Soocd has ruined me, now I’m avoiding friends
Anytime a see an image of my best friend I feel a moment down there or I feel huge or I feel like I’m about to get a boner please why is this so, it makes me feel lost.

Maybe your attracted to your friend? 🤷♂️ it happens but remember it means absolutely nothing unless you act on it. Thoughts have zero power and energy unless we assign them so with our actions.
I totally get this! Trust me isolation is NOT the answer. Be surrounded by your friends, plus it’s good exposure and you’ll eventually habituate to it! I admit that women are attractive and I think they’re beautiful, but that doesn’t have to mean anything about my sexual preferences. Or maybe it does? Who knows! But I don’t care because it’s impossible to have a definitive answer when sexuality is not black and white!
Worst thing you can do is avoid your friends bro, its just you being scared of being gay, whats so wrong with it? Once you figure out and become more firm on your sexuality, you can admit that everyone is attractive.
@teeejay I don’t find him attractive, whenever I see his picture I feel scared that I will have a movement down there and when I check I see it moving 😔 I don’t like that movement
@tuchi Well groin response really means nothing, you can get an erection just from sitting there thinking about nothing, i really urge you to just be open to everything, you might be suprised, also if you want me to be real. The fact that you dont like the movement is a dead giveaway
It’s just OCD! Ignore it and it’ll go away eventually
hey, i really feel for you dealing with this, it sounds super tough. i've got my own tangle with pure o, different obsessions, but that same exhausting mental loop. just want you to know i'm here to listen and i get how hard it can be, even if our experiences aren't exactly the same. 🤝 so, my therapist mentioned this free AI tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com) and honestly, it might be a good fit for what you're going through. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket, guiding you when things get too much. you just type in what's bugging you, and it leads you through steps to help you break free from those obsessive thoughts. i'm not into pushing apps usually, but this one's been a game-changer for me, and i really think it could offer you some relief too. happy to chat if you've got questions about it, just hit me up. hang in there, buddy. 💪
For the people who have SOOCD : do you guys ever wander if your false attraction to the unwanted sex is actually what true attraction feels like and what you actually felt for the "wanted sex" wasn't real and was just forced all your life because of society? This thought is currently consuming me because I feel like its true for me... like whenever I imagine a guy it feels like forced attraction but if I imagine any girl it feel true and intense??
Love how social media allows nudity…I opened up instagram and instantly saw a naked women and that triggered some thoughts making me uncomfortable and second guess my sexuality. 😕I tried my best to tell myself “maybe or maybe not either way I don’t care” and sitting with the discomfort but it’s extremely hard. Especially when I’m currently talking to someone I really like and want to get to know him. Just makes life harder sadly.
my brain keeps on trying to convince me I’m gay. Why do I care so much?? I’ve been sure of who I am for all my life, but ever since that thought that I could be something else appeared in my head. It’s ruined me completely, I’ve lost attraction to my preferred gender and overthink everything when talking to the same gender. I know pick about everything I’m feeling and ruminate on the past for evidence. I’ve always saw myself being with a man and having kids with a man. But now I guess my ocd (maybe it’s just denial idk) Is telling me I never wanted that and it was society or whatever. It makes me extremely uncomfy and very anxious. When I think about being gay that doesn’t feel right neither does being straight anymore since this theme. I just want to be normal again I hate this. I feel like I’ll never be in a relationship again ever because of this.
