I've been having a really rough time with my OCD and the fear that I may not have HOCD and am legitimately attracted to men which makes me feel empty inside I don't expect anyone to have an answer but I could really use seomthing positive right now as I'm feeling pretty hopeless
Hi Christopher, your thought process is typical of anxiety bringing in doubt over things and questioning and over analysing the intrusive thoughts we get. You feel empty inside when you think you are legitimately attracted to men, that tells you that you arnt attracted to men otherwise you would feel differently. This's just HOCD playing tricks on you, especially as your having a rough time atm so you are more vulnerable to these intrusive thoughts.

Hey Aspinan
Sorry to interrupt but yeah I agree with you. I have been struggling with the same issue too although I don't have HOCD. I only think about it sometimes. I've never had a bf and have no sex drive or desire to be with anyone. Now I know it's because I'm asexual. "I thought I was a lesbian because of it." I overanalyze everything and sink so low. You don't have to reply back alright. Just thought I would say that. My problem is because of Social Anxiety/GAD, Social Phobia. It drives me crazy. It's a metaphor.I'm not crazy lol. Your comment helped me alot.Thanks👍
