amplifying what it means to be "attracted" to men and downplaying my attraction to women

...See more i realized i subconsciously dismiss my attraction to women as friendship and amplify what "attraction" to men is. for example, i could think something about a guy such as "wow, he's cool i want to play video games with him or have a chat" or something else that is me wanting to strictly just be friends and think that's what attraction to men is. but with girls i'll think about how much i want to be close physically with a particular girl or kiss or hold hands with a her and sometimes i'll think it's just me wanting to be "really good friends" with her when in reality it's attraction. obviously now identifying as a lesbian i am aware logically that wanting to be friends with men isn't attraction, and that i am only attracted to women but sometimes the comphet hits hard. any other lesbians relate?

...See more i have a Very hard time differentiating between platonic and romantic feelings so if someone could help sort this out for me that would be RAD! there's this girl i've been friends with for a long time and adore her and feel i can truly be myself with her. having her in my life is so amazing. i want to be around her all the time and i want to be close to her i want to cuddle her i want to be in her arms. so many times we're together i think to myself "wow i really wish i could kiss her rn" i'm not going to actively try to try and intiate a relationship w her rn bc im quite an anxious person and very scared of rejection however if she were to initate i CERTAINLY wouldn't decline. this is romantic attraction right? ik it sounds like it should be obvious to me but i keep second guessing myself bc this is the first time i potentially have a crush while also being aware that what i'm feeling it a crush (baby gay right here).

comphet worsened by ocd/adhd

...See more hi !! i am a lesbian with both ocd and adhd and sometimes i get into periods of time where my comphet sort of teams up with my ocd and adhd. my ocd develops obsessions and compulsions regarding me "double checking" or "making sure" i'm not attracted to men/am actually attracted to women and am really a lesbian even when it is very evident i only like non-men. my adhd also causes a lack of emotional permanence (kinda like "out of sight out of mind" but with emotions). for example i could see a woman and acknowledge that i am attracted to her and be aware of that and know that in the moments that i am attracted to her, but when i am not currently experiencing the feelings of attraction in that moment i have difficulty recalling them and get nervous i was faking them all along. do any other nd lesbians experience this?

...See more when i was about 14 there was this girl who i absoloutely adored. i relied on her a lot for emotional support but i also really wanted to be around her and hug her and talk to her all the time. when she would say nice things to me or hug me or other things like that everything in the world felt perfect and i felt so happy loved and light. she was a little bit older than me so most of her friends were older but there was this other girl my age who she always talked to more and seemed to like more than me and it would make me quite jealous but i never let it show. i never felt this way about her when she hung out w other friends tho, just when she hung out w the girl my age. when she wouldn't notice me or hung out with the other girl i felt like she hated me and it would destroy me inside and would cry because i wanted to be as close to her as the other girl my age but i just didn't know how to approach her (i'm also autistic so that's why). i hadn't come to terms w my sexuality yet so i never really considered the posibility of this being a crush til recently and looking back and realizing how much i enjoyed physically being close to her, and being called pet names like "love" it does feel more crush like to me. does this sound more like a crush or fp attachment to you guys?
