Bulli teased me for beg gay when I was younger, but when a six-year-old boy lls another six-year-old boy gay, he means “weird” or “gross, ” not “has sex wh men.

HOW DO I KNOW I’M NOT REALLY GAY/STRAIGHT?
I would later learn that tly gay people may also get HOCD, but that they falsely fear that they are heterosexual. If I thought for a mute that even one of the straight HOCD sufferers on the board was gay, I would do the same for him or her.

HOCD works the same way: Heterosexual sufferers feel that the gay thoughts are real even though, their hearts, they know that they are straight. The only anxiety I feel is over what others thk of gays and how I thk I’ll be treated by straight people power if they fd out about me.
