do you obsess over strangers & feel sexually available?

Post Reply New Topic

i don't know if this is cause i am on the spectrum, or maybe more of my OCD/PTSD side of things but I usually feel like when I go out in public, and I see someone I'll obsess over them and just fantasize about them. Tonight I took it to an extreme by finding a person's Instagram when I went to the place they worked at's profile, it was wrong and i guess stalking. Now I know better, but yeah - I don't know. I think it comes from "being in my own world" and neurotypicals just seeming so fascinating and beautiful to me, just like an idea -a dream. Everything is always so dreamy all the time. I have been sexually abused in the past.

i was something like that when I was a young man.

I don't obsess over strangers. I just gawk at them when they're not looking.

I do find some random strangers attractive but I don't obsess over them or feel "sexually available". I may think about them for a few minutes or look at them every ten seconds or so if they are still around but my OCD often gets in the way and makes it rather stressful.

Good threads this morning...

Anyways no but I cannot for the life of me imagine why not. I'll try & remember to thank you when I puzzle this one through.
