Hocd or compulsory heterosexuality?

Hi guys,

I have found a group named latebloomerlesbians and there was an article about compulsory heterosexuality. It scares me. Did someone hear about that?

There were some points which unfortunately suit to me like:

You lose interest in a man as soon as they seem interested in you - very common.

Or

You’re only attracted to fictional men, celebrities, or man that are completely unattainable (i.e. your teacher, gay men, men in established relationships). Basically, you only like men if it’s impossible for them to like you back - very common.

I am scared cuz I usually liked men which do not like me or are unapproachable. I usually lose interest if they are start to like me and than if they don’t want me anymore the interest come back. I had just one long relationship when I was 16-19 years and than short relationships or dates so I could not realize if I lose the interest quickly until now. I have a boyfriend now since June and I felt really in love first 3 months but than I got these unwanted thoughts and now I feel I am not attracted to him. But maybe it is not cuz these thoughts, maybe it is no hocd and I just lose the interest? :-(

For goodness sakes, girl, stay away from those fringe groups that only serve to mess with your head. Stick to the tried and true such as IOCF and other credible resources. There are wonderful, dedicated, professional people out there who can really help us with our OCD. I stay away from the charlatans and quacks.
