Gay people bother me and i dont know why

Other people making assumptions about you feels rude and presumptuous because it is. Many gay men and lesbians are assumed to be straight in their day to day lives, because straight people are the majority. Most of us (myself included) find this annoying. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that you’d feel the same annoyance in the reverse.

It is also significant to note that while some people with internalized homophobia are “out of the closet” and openly dealing their own sexual orientation/sexual identity issues, many others. If you don't feel you belong, do a self reflection on why. Is it because you believe there's something wrong with yourself and you'd rather not belong to he community?

If so, that's your internalized homophobia lying to you.

Judgment of Others. You may find yourself criticizing or distancing yourself from other queer people. I know that it's wrong to judge people based on their sexual orientation, but I couldn't focus on having a good time with them there. Internalized homophobia can feel isolating, but you don’t have to carry it alone. Explore ways to challenge shame and embrace who you truly are.

A variation on doubt about sexual identity would be where the obsessive thought has fastened onto the idea that the person simply will never be able to figure out what their sexual orientation actually is. The most anyone can do if they feel distress with their biological sex, is cosmetically change their appearance through medication or surgery.

Cognitive OCD theorists believe that obsessions have their origin in the normal unwanted, intrusive thoughts seen in the general population.

Needless to say, it is crucial for all OCD sufferers to understand that there is no avoiding what they fear. Simply stating that one feels like a gender queer, for instance, apparently makes it so. Going a step beyond this, some sufferers have obsessions that tell them that they may have acted, or will act, on their thoughts.
