Re: Crush paranoia?

I think you're right, thank you. I'm just gonna try and stay distracted and not think about it too much, the anxiety has already faded from when I first posted this so hopefully it'll just disappear into the background by the end of the week. Thank you so much for the help.

Re: Crush paranoia?

I'm contemplating if I actually like her or not. I hope I don't, there isn't really evidence that I do, but my mind keeps latching on to the idea and it's... not great. That does sound helpful, I'll try it out. I think I'm just kind of scared of doing nothing for too long because it'll give me time ...

Re: Crush paranoia?

I haven't had a crush in a long time so I can't really say. All I can say is that it's really uncomfortable and it makes it hard for me to get anything done. I'm having trouble doing work for the class she teaches because I keep thinking about the probably not crush and getting so anxious that I can...

Re: Crush paranoia?

Because it'd be weird to have one on a teacher. I know it's a thing that happens and it's not wrong and I don't care if it happens to other people, but if I did then I'd be uncomfortable doing work for that class and thinking about it and it's just not something I want to worry about. I don't think ...

Re: I'm scared that I might have a gross sexual inclination

I have a therapist but we're not really connecting so I'm gonna be looking for another one. It does kinda seem like I come up with a new romantic or sexual thing to be anxious about every week though lol... I'm working on managing my anxiety though, mostly by distracting myself with other stuff. The...

Crush paranoia?

I feel like I'm probably aroace but at the same time, it feels like every week I'll pick a friend or even a non friend who I think about a fair amount and go "oh no what if I have a crush on them". Usually it passes in like a few days to a week, but it happened again and this time it's giv...

Weird, nonsensical semi-sexual thoughts when I'm going to sleep?

So, like, sometimes when I'm about to fall asleep i start having kinda nonsensical, dream-like thoughts that I don't understand at all when I remember them. Like... randomly thinking of red dancing penguins or something. But last night, the random thoughts got kinda... weird? In my thoughts, I was a...

Re: I'm scared that I might have a gross sexual inclination

I'm still a little uncomfortable talking about that thing that turns me on but I think I've worked through it somewhat now. I feel a little better about it. Of course, then my mind decided to come up with something else to be anxious about, which I'll start a new thread about. I'm wondering at this ...

Re: I'm scared that I might have a gross sexual inclination

It's because I'm an anxious person, I guess. I've been diagnosed with GAD since I was in 4th grade and I guess that gets some of the anxiety started, then it's followed by "if I'm so bothered by this doesn't that mean it must be true??" and "if it wasn't true, I'd be able to brush it ...

I'm scared that I might have a gross sexual inclination

So. Ok. I *think* I'm asexual. I've definitely felt sexual arousal before, but never sexual attraction towards a person. But there is a specific thing that someone can do that makes me sexually aroused, although it doesn't make me attracted to the person (at least, from what I can tell, because I ne...

Re: Looking for a label that might work?

So, good news, a platonic crush didn't form on that person I was worried about! I thought everything was resolved but I had a weird dream last night. It was about the guy who i used to have a (probably) platonic crush on, though sometimes I worry that it really was romantic. I dont remember it clear...

Re: Looking for a label that might work?

The uncertainty worries me, but more than that I just really don't want to be attracted to guys because the idea of that makes me very uncomfortable. I'm starting to think I may be aroace but platonic crushes are still stressful for me because I find myself constantly second-guessing if they're real...

Looking for a label that might work?

I'm trying not to get attached to labels because it causes me some distress when I question them, but I'm also trying to figure out what to call myself. I was calling myself a lesbian until sometime last year. Sexual attraction: Pretty much nonexistent? I've never had sexual fantasies, sex dreams, o...
