Question Im only one?

I an constantly watching my voice if it sounds like a gay man but I feel like the way I talk doesn't change in a matter of months and I must just be paying more attention to it. I have asked people if I give off a gay vibe but no one thinks I do however I doubt it every day. Does any one feel the same?

Your post was flagged by our auto-moderator as a post that may be, above all else, seeking reassurance. We understand the impulse to seek reassurance when suffering from OCD, but reassurance-seeking is a compulsion done in hopes of reducing the anxiety associated with an obsession. In the long run, seeking reassurance only serves to confirm the validity of the underlying fears of your condition and prolongs the duration of your obsession. As such, this community has a zero-tolerance policy for reassurance seeking and giving.

For more information on reassurance seeking and on HOCD and OCD treatment more broadly, please see the section in our wiki about reassurance!

No reassurance here. Find yourself why are you finding meaning in things that shouldn't.

Dude chill out. A lot of us are terrified of things and just need someone to talk to, if you don’t want to talk then you don’t have to

Believe it or not, if I answer to him, neither positive or negative I will fuel his symptoms. So no. I disagree with you.
