What is OCD Starring OCD Starring can be defined as constant need to look at certain people, people’s private parts such as genitals, breasts, teeth, etc or even nonliving objects.
As like other OCD, people will have to major parts in compulsive starring 1. Obsessions and 2. compulsions.
The suffer will be constantly having obsessive thoughts of not seeing the private parts due to embarrassment. The person will be constantly thinking of people judging them if they catches them starring which given them lot of anxiety and nervousness.
To relieve that anxiety/stress they must perform the compulsion of checking whether they are looking and ended up looking the private parts. It is like telling don’t imagine a pink elephant which in turn triggers us to imagine pink elephant.
People will get into this endless cycle of thoughts and compulsions and develop their OCD over time. This will start constant thoughts about maintaining eye contact, private parts, doubts, etc<br>

How compulsive starring affects the sufferer People will get lot of anxiety/ nervousness and even panic attacks during the OCD episodes usually in social gatherings or communicating in person due to the embarrassment they are going to get.
These thoughts develop over time and the suffer will get constant need to do compulsions/rituals wasting the valuable time.
They will find it very difficult to be around those people and to communicate with them. Hence in turn it affects people personally, emotionally and socially.
The person will get depressed heavily and even might think about questioning live or even suicidal thoughts.<br>

Management Of Starring OCD To understand about the problem and its root cause analysis.
Getting right help such as therapy, counselling, etc
Addressing the root cause – Reason for the obsessive thoughts is the permanent solution.
Managing symptoms will includes stop doing compulsions instead start to face the fears, in our case go start communicating with people again, go to the events, social gatherings which fears you the most.
Start lifestyle changes which should address your emotional, physical and metal needs.
Good sleep, yoga, meditation, diet, healthy family and relationships will help a lot. Also don’t do them like compulsions as you may create new compulsions.<br>

My Personal Recommendation Start addressing your emotion, sexual, relationship issues.
Start being honest with yourself.
Get started with right therapy once it starts affecting you personally, emotionally or socially.
Start to accept the things and increase your self confidence
Take mental health your topmost priority.
During the journey when you gets relapse, start thinking of what makes you start the journey and gets self motivated.
Overcoming this problem will makes you stronger emotionally and over will help you know about yourself.
This is one of the most motivating quote I prefer, a lead psychologist mentioned that he would happily leave his children with pedophile OCD suffer for a week and go for a vacation. Because for that entire week, the OCD person will be the only sufferer and OCD suffer only in need of help till he returns. This applies for all our type. We care about others and we don’t want to make them nervous or uncomfortable by talking or being around us. We only take the suffer.<br>

Conclusion You knows you better than anyone else in this world. Be honest with yourself and accept the uncertainty.
