  My biggest problem is perfectionism. &nbsp;It often gets in the way of me actually being productive because I’m so driven toward the task being perfect.

  I could listen to Dr. Ramani talk about baking soda for five hours. She&apos;s amazing.

  People who say that family members of those with OCPD should be more understanding towards them and their condition don’t get it. They clearly never had to live with someone who has it for an extended period of time in their life and experience what it’s like being on the receiving end.<br><br>We have ALWAYS been understanding and, we have ALWAYS given in to them, but we are only human and it gets so damn frustrating when the person with OCPD always thinks they’re right, it’s their way or the highway, and you’re being a waste of their time and resources if you don’t do things the way they want it. This is and will always be my Dad. So quit your virtue signalling when you’ve never had to experience what it’s like to deal with someone with OCPD

  This is my mom. 100%. The amount of emotional neglect was insane. Never did anything as a child because it all costed too much money, first time I went to the movies I was 18. The fact that my dad wasn’t in the picture, and we didn’t really have a close knitted family meant I was completely stuck in that 24/7. Developed my own personality issues thanks to all of this, among other issues. My mom still refuses to seek help, and I’m close to losing my patience completely and never talk to her again.

  My ex-girlfriend is soo this. Hard worker in a job she hated, shouted at people in the subway for disrespecting rules, was extremely harsh on herself and others, always postponed and cut short meetings to prepare for work, was very stubborn and authoritarian in really uncomfortable ways. She also followed rigid schedules and expected me to do so too, rejected advice even when she desperately needed it and worked even when sick. She also made me feel through her controlling behavior like I lost my own self in the relationship while often feeling like I wasn‘t a priority in her life at all. I had to follow her rules to the degree that I got scared to cross her and felt very pressured.<br>In the end I felt like I was completely submitting to her will and when I finally had to set boundaries on her controlling behavior, she broke up with me and chastised and chided me for not living up to her standards and „behaving like a child“ after she had told me to do/stop xyz.<br>I needed months to recover from the intense pressure and hurt that I had felt and my self-esteem still needs improvement.<br><br>P.S.: I know that she suffers from this too, so I‘m not trying to portray her like a monster. I‘m just telling my experience, after all she was undiagnosed

  I had a friend like this but it wasn&apos;t work that was her god, it was astanga yoga. &nbsp;She would get up at 5am to do one and a half hours of the most gruelling sequences EVERY SINGLE DAY. &nbsp;Her husband eventually struck a deal with her to take Saturday mornings off. &nbsp;They had a cleaner and she decided to fire the cleaner and clean herself; and with no shame she told her husband that she was therefore pocketing the money that the cleaner had earned before. &nbsp;So she was literally paying herself to clean her own house. &nbsp;She worked 5 minutes from where she lived but her husband worked in another city. &nbsp;When his car broke down she didn&apos;t lend him hers - he had to get a train and she was indignant that he would even think to borrow her car. &nbsp;And on one occasion he used her car to pick up his son and she wanted the petrol money he used back. &nbsp;Her own husband. &nbsp;I couldn&apos;t bear the control and miserly-ness and our friendship came to a screeching halt after going on holiday together (you can only imagine how well that went - she gave everyone a speech about how they were less-than for not being vegan). &nbsp;Im not sure if she was in denial or whether she seriously lacked such insight into her behaviour. &nbsp;Her husband truly deserves all the medals in the world.

  The thing is, once you acknowledge the fact you have OCPD, you can’t stop thinking about every single decision you make and wonder… is this okay? Is this normal? Why do we seek perfection when we know there’s no such thing? But it’s a deeply ingrained part of how we cope with uncertainty. The need for control and order becomes a safety net, even when we know it’s impossible to achieve perfection. It’s not about rationality—it’s about an internal drive that pushes us to fix, arrange, and perfect everything, even at the cost of our peace. Acknowledging this struggle is just the first step; learning to live with it, and sometimes challenge it, is the real journey.<br><br>We are not victims, we are survivors of our own minds, constantly working to navigate a world that doesn’t align with our inner need for perfection. It’s a battle we face every day, but with awareness and self-compassion, we can learn to manage it and live more freely, even if the urge to control never fully fades.<br><br>But we must also remember that we are not the norm, and our actions have consequences. Remember to think about how your decisions impact the people around you. We are not the center of the universe, but we are not insignificant either. We don’t have to control everything to matter. It’s about finding balance—knowing our worth without feeling the need to shape the world around us. Our value isn’t defined by perfection; it’s defined by how we navigate our challenges while respecting the space and lives of others.<br><br>So if you’re here because you identify with this, believe me, that’s a huge step toward acceptance and understanding the complexity of your mind. I’m not going to lie, it’s a real shit show sometimes, but hey, that’s life. So, yeah, sometimes you just have to eat the effing cheesecake.<br><br>And, of course I read this more than I should’ve before posting.
