Is it really possible to have false attraction with ocd. I remember I was speaking to my friend who suffers the same intrusive thoughts i do and he is a good looking guy. And since i pointed that out i got a feeling like what if i like him what if i want to be in a relationship with him or something. But i have a boyfriend and i love him. Ill look at certain people and get rushes of anxiety cause they look nice etc.

Yes, I get a lot of false attractions. It used to be slighltly worse than before and they would often last a long time with the same specific people I deemed were amazing, attractive, etc. I got slightly better at this, though it still gets to me sometimes. Sometimes I will freak out and start having obsessions of falling in love with them if I ever find someone attractive. False attractions can feel real because of the anxiety and “butterflies” associated with them.
