If you are disgusted by the thought of being attracted to whatever your OCD is conjuring attraction to, then you and your personality are not attracted to it. From what i’ve researched on OCD, your mind may conjure up “situations” to test your biggest fears. There is no winning the test; either way you will not find relief. I suggest you work with a therapist on revealing your worries to confront your OCD and build coping mechanisms that dissipate your anxieties. You are NOT what your OCD is trying to convince you that you are. Your false attraction is built upon fear of being attracted to the subject, so it is contradictory to your morals. You are not a bad person and healing is not avoiding your fears it is confronting them as false. You can do this, your life is valuable and you are worthy of being understood.

SOCD false attraction
hey guys, i’m almost fully healed in my socd journey but what’s stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. i’m also getting false memory trying to show me ‘signal’ from my childhood to prove i’m gay amd i truly don’t know if they’re real. it’s so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible

YOUR EXPERIENCE IN FALSE ATTRACTION
Can anyone give their experience on FALSE ATTRACTION? At this moment, mine has become worse. Soon as I see a male my anxiety shoots up, I can feel this in my chest and my OCD is telling me I’m attracted. But I continue to look back or stare and the disgust comes over me and my body shakes and I feel my face screw up. I can’t listen to music I use too or watch movies which was a favourite thing of mine to do. I just feel disgusted and not who I am when it happens. It’s like a different me. P.S. I had a very good week few days ago where I knew this wasn’t me and these feelings/ thoughts isn’t me.
