    Questioning
    So I'm 17 and female. Iv'e never been diagnosed but I know Iv'e had mild OCD since I was around 9. My friend has diagnosed OCD and I see the things she does and I recognize them in myself.

    Right so when I was younger I was a tomboy and I wanted to be a boy I guess. (I remember trying to pee standing up once). Anyway, I had a bi-curious phase at around 14. Now I never remember having huge crushes on anyone as a kid. I remember having one on Zac efron in HSM. But I would go into my room and pretend to be him. I have Malidaptive Daydreaming and I am always a gay male character in my head and have always been a male character in my head. So I don't know if I like boys bc the character does etc.

    Anyway, after my Bi-Curious phase I went back to liking boys. I mean boys can be HOT. However, I could see a boy in good clothes and be like "he's hot" but the net day he could be in gross clothes and I would not find him attractive. But apparently a lot of girls think this way. Onto the liking girls thing. Sometimes I will think that I can't be 100% straight. The first time this happened (besides in my Bi-Curious phase) was after I went out with this boy a few months ago. He wasn't the best looking guy but he made me laugh and I thought why not give it a try? So we went to this hill thing and we were kissing and I was like ewwww and he was touching me (not inappropriately, I said he could) He was just holding my stomach and my bum and he stroked in between my boobs and I hated it.

    I got home and told my mum and she asked if I was a lesbian. I said no but I stopped and thought about it. About how when I got drunk I made out with a girl in the bushes more than once. And how I could only get wet with a boy when I was 14 (Over the clothes touching) and when I was drunk at a party and got fingered. And I was on Google for over a week stressing about it. I was walking around and asking myself if I found people attractive. Then after a while I was like "No, I'm straight and I need to shut up". But it keeps coming and going. Like I compare a picture of myself to a cute boy and a cute girl to see my feelings etc. I also watch porn to see what I get turned on by the most.

    But it gets confusing because I do want to kiss girls and I do want to sleep with them and have a girlfriend but I don't know if it's just my head telling me I do. I saw a GIF of two girls around my ages tickling each other and one of two girls kissing and I want to do that. But I don't find girls hot like I do with boys.

    I'm also confused because I see a boy and think wow you're hot but if we went on a date I would lose all interest. But, I get really awkward around ANY boy that isn't a close friend/family member. I also have really low self confidence and I kind of thing being with a girl would make me not as awkward bc I'm a girl too but idk.

    Lastly, there is this girl who iv'e known for a few years and a few months ago she told me she liked me and I said I didn't even know what I was. But I saw a picture of her and a boy the other day. I don't know if it was an OCD obsession or not but a few days after seeing the picture I started obsessing and then I had a dream that the boy was her boyfriend and I was jealous. I now know that he is in fact her boyfriend and i'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm kind of sad won't get to date her :/

    I'm so sorry this was so long. Thank you to anyone who read it all and answers the question. :kiss:(*hug*)

    Well your situation is definitely unfortunate, but you definitely don't have OCD. Remember, OCD is a mental disorder, and to be properly diagnosed you have to have shown symptoms for more then 6 months, and the obsession has to take a huge amount of the time of your days, and it has to be interfering with your quality of life. My advice is to give it some time. You don't want to get in a serious relationship without figuring out your sexuality first. It could end up hurting you and the other person. It sounds like this girl is unavailable anyway, so for now just focus on yourself and think about how boys make you feel vs how girls make you feel (sexually and romantically) and try to figure out what that means.
