      Hello everyone, for a long time a have been struggling with ROCD.<

      My problem is that I compare feelings, to see if I can feel the same specific familiar feeling for my partner or mother to someone random or a someone I dislike, and it seems like I trigger this “feeling” that comes only to my partner or mother  and then I look or imagine this random person or person I dislike and check if I can get it too. What I think really is that I create this false synthetic feeling of familiar feelings to my partner or mother and I think this is a legit feeling that I cannot feel to someone else and then I check if I can feel it to someone else and I trigger this feeling again, this is when it backfires because I can. So my question is can I trigger any feelings to any random person? Romantic feelings? Specific feelings that I can feel to a close person? Or do I really trigger only a syntethic feeling that I think is real feeling to my partner or mother and then I trigger this feeling to anyone else?  Can ocd mimic any feeling? How does is work any good articles or videos?
