    You weren’t kidding. This woman makes long winded obsessive comments about how attracted to and aroused by men she is even saying she loves dick pics (and I’ve never heard any straight woman say that before). And at the end of each post she says she’s identifying as a lesbian despite admitting she never feels attraction to women and her only basis for believing she is a lesbian being repressed memories of watching lesbian porn when she was younger.

    Her recent posts indicate she has a therapist who suggests she might have conditions including BPD but no mention of OCD. I sincerely hope she gets a diagnosis by someone qualified. This is also why I hate affirmation only counseling because ANYONE should be able to spot that this is a straight woman dealing with serious obsessive and disordered thinking and making major life in decisions based on it, and a professional should feel empowered to raise it.

    The other aspect of this that enrages me is the lack of pushback on r/LBL. There are a few comments pointing out that she’s attracted to men and/or that she likely has HOCD but most people are ignoring the red flags (like not even red flags - this is a woman ranting about how straight she is who just says she’s a “lesbian” at the end). But these are the minority. No one is calling out that it’s inappropriate to call yourself a lesbian if you’re attracted to men. It’s really gross to see and exactly why actual lesbians aren't going to hang around there.

    Yeah, this person is definitely mentally ill. It reminds me of a guy I knew who convinced himself he was gay even though he tried dating men and hated it, and always ended up with women.

    I've looked through the profile and I agree with you. I have OCD myself which has taken a lot of different forms over the years and I'd bet a lot of money this is what she's dealing with
