Many who have OCD struggle with the fear of staring at someone’s private areas. Some may just feel annoyed and distressed because they actually are doing it. Whether it’s in a TV show or in person. They start avoiding places because they don’t want to have to take the time and effort to avoid staring or looking. It’s not something they want to do, so of course, the brain is going to urge them to do it or throw out threats. Let’s go through what it looks like and how to stop staring.

Have you struggled with COMPULSIVE STARING before?

[TTxoxoMiller]

My ocd has made me look to “check” to make sure I’m not attracted certain things. Now, through ERP, I KNOW I’m not attracted to these things I still have urges that I can’t resist to look. Then ocd tells me I only looked because I wanted to. It’s so distressing and confusing to live with ocd.

[laurene]

damn once again you're putting words on something i've always experienced and didn't even know it was an actual thing, thank you

[justmadeit]

You can see why this would throw someone in to a big depression after it happened because of feeling deep shame and self disgust. Meetings or groups where you sit in a circle of chairs must be massively triggering

[daiaimaru]

Oh my god I’ve gone through this experience so many times before and the last one was a few days ago and it was a nightmare. You upload the right videos in the right time man, at least to me! Thanks 🙏🏻

[luckylivin]

I seriously recommend meditation. It can teach you to watch your thoughts/habits but not engage with them. You let it pass without “obsessing”. This IS the CURE!! I’m telling you!

[RandomTvNation]

This is exactly what I've been struggling with and have felt absolutely crazy like I was fighting something worse than my OCD. Thank you for uploading this

[OnealEddie]

BRO!! I THOUGHT I WAS GAY, but I'm not attracted to guys at all!! I dont even understand it!! It's like my eyes just do it by themselves!

[wolfcry]

It feels glad to know I'm not the only one who goes through this. I feel like a sick person for having these urges, but it's difficult to stop myself sometimes because I'll feel off if I don't satisfy this urge. This happens with other things besides staring at parts as well...

[aman-qedu]

God! You're the one who exactly described my situation. I literally did this in the middle of watching the video. It's crazy man! It's like I just can't stop myself.
There's me and other me, ones telling me to do it and the other aggressively wants me to stop. But your video addresses the issue correctly. Thank you!

[Diegolima-uiuz]

You're saving lives!
We really appreciate your work❤

[poni_poki]

This was one of my first OCD themes when I was 10 and my anxiety around it was really bad. I felt like a sick and perverted person despite being a literal child. Luckily I am much more comfortable with that fear now so I don't feel the obsession/compulsion about staring anymore.

[buffalopigeon]

Obsessive staring has pushed me to constant thoughts of suicide. I leave work after interacting with a girl who seems to like me realizing I may have botched it with my poor eye contact. I’ve had bosses accuse mr of being “weird” or “gay” as if it’s a negative. This condition has taken chunks out of me. I may give your technique a try as nothing else has worked.

[aliyahm]

NO WAY!
how did I miss that? I always felt wrong but I didn’t realise that it’s another form of OCD😭
Thank Nathan you helped me a lot in my journey, plus I LOVE your sense of humour it always makes me feel less stressed!
Keep going❤️❤️

[ashleytaylor]

I didn’t know this was a thing. I’ve been going through this and what I think is sexual orientation OCD. I thought the staring was a compulsion. In some ways, it is because I use it as a test. Every time i look I feel so guilty it. There’s so much I’m learning from videos like yours (which unfortunately I watch to seek reassurance). I want to seek professional help, but I don’t know how to begin explaining this to my family because I know how it all sounds and they won’t get it. I’m not sure anyone will. Sorry about this long message. I don’t talk about this often lol

[anthonyturner]

This man knows his stuff to the finest detail, this disorder strips you of your dignity and self respect til there is nothing left.

[CARLOSJJAREZ]

OMG, this is exactly what i have, we must get out of this, its time to get rid of OCD forever, this is not stronger than us, we must fight OCD back with the right treatment

[zardpark]

Currently struggling with this one. I'm really freaking out about it, it affects my daily life. This is killing me...

[sheispeace]

I hate that I do this I quickly glance away and get sooo embarrassed it bugs more that I could express ..that being said I’m glad to see in these comments I’m not alone .. ty

[sweetlimesoda]

Omg I had urges to do this and it feels so real. It comes with groinal responses and that freaks me out even more!
