don't know Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Hello, I've been off this site for a while (I haven't been posting but I've been keeping up to date with others posts.) Anyway, I've been feeling a lot better and have been getting less intrusive thoughts but there's one problem that came about maybe half an hour ago. You see I'm going to this event tomorrow with a group of people, and a friend's brother is coming alone. I've never met him or know what he looks like - but for some reason I was terrified that he might fancy me and ask me out. And if you've seen my posts before you'll know that I post about sexuality. I'm confused again. Why would a straight girl be terrified of being asked out by a guy? I see no logic in that whatsoever. It's really ruined the event now, and I don't want to go anymore. I feel really weird in my stomach and am getting warm. Not in the nice way. I give up! I finally say this is not OCD and this is a lame excuse. Link to comment
Unsurechap Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I guess you are trying to predict how you might feel if something happens, i suggest letting things take their course and see what happens. stop worrying about the future and live in the moment. Link to comment
don't know Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks for the reply. I just feel there's no point in trying anymore. I panicked about it all morning. Link to comment
Tulsas Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I always find the thought worse than the actual event...went to Liverpool with 4 friends. ...was absolutely dreading it..being so far away from my flat and home comforts... ..the compulsions...the thoughts...everything....and guess who was driving....me......well it turned out to be one of the best weekends off my life .......no more thinking.....ok Link to comment

Unsurechap Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 by burying your self in something else Link to comment
Unsurechap Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 yep just ignore it and do something else Link to comment
Unsurechap Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 because whats a thought - can you touch it, feel it, smell it? no it only exists in your mind and is not reality Link to comment
PolarBear Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 View it that you got an intrusive thought that he would ask you out, that caused you anxiety and in response you ruminate over it and voila, you have OCD. Link to comment
don't know Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 But why would I be terrified of that? Link to comment
PolarBear Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 You tell me. I suspect because you still have sexual orientation obsessions and issues and thought of going out with a guy mortified you. It all makes perfect sense in an OCD world. Link to comment
don't know Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Not really, it sounds like an excuse more than anything. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 A. Youre in denial. B. I know you're female. C. This self loathing has to stop. It's not doing you any good. Link to comment
