The fear of social rejection was never a problem for me. The first thing I did when I started off with this was tell my parents and they both said they'd support me no matter what. The only thing that has ever bothered me is that it shatters the belief in who you are as a person, and would destroy my current relationship!

Again, some great points Elliot ! My main fear is about lying to myself and others / not being honest with myself and others. The idea of suddenly realizing that I was wrong all along, and the potential consequences. I think it also has to do with the fear of not being in control, plus the fear of hurting people and hurting myself. I must say that keeping in mind that your all life doesn't have to be reduced to your sexuality is quite comforting. But can you really say that having a fulfilling sexual and romantic life / a partner isn't something important ? Idk. My therapist once told me : "you know, there are many people that realize they're gay at the end of their life, it's so sad". Somehow, it made me fear I might miss out on something, and potentially regret it... Now there's a lot to unpack, it seems ^^ What do you mean by disputing your beliefs on paper ? Like a pros and cons list ? Thanks again ! (it's a difficult topic)

Hey Florian. It's not that we are saying it's not important we are highlighting the over importance humans tend to place on relationships. It's not the concern that gets us into the trouble it's the over concern 🙂

@@Ankur9344 yes well partially, i just feel numb and my groin doesn't respond to dudes, it's only when i imagine or see women that i get responses but those aren't as strong as they could be. I still get attraction to women and when i see dudes I'm just nervous and weird around em but then realise it's the mind tricking me into it

@@APMOTOMEDIA bro to me false attraction is the worst! I dont get groinal responses now. Bro to intrusive thoughts my reaction is nothing i know they will be there due to glitch in my brain, i just have to ignore them .they doesnt mean anything to me But bro the thing that frustruates me and makes me angry over this is false attraction, now almost to every male even to my own bro and father. When i get false attraction i do ERP i watch them continously without responding and then i get no attraction but immediately then my brain starts producing intrusive images like kissing him etc, sometimes i bear that also without responding but when it uses my body like creating physical sensation to the intrusive images i freak out and i give up! And goes into the rabbit hole of searching and getting reassurance

@@Ankur9344 i do the exact same thing in the exact sequence but the thing is, i only imagine women and get happy i don't even imagine dudes like that! I think ERP can backfire if done incorrectly because it's constant exposure to what you fear and if done incorrectly you can accidentally take influence instead of learning not to react
