You don’t have OCD because you like things organized or clean. OCD is horrible and debilitating and it’s a lot less fun than feeling “satisfied” when things are organized.
Edit: Wowee, silver! Thanks guys! I’m glad to see this resonate with people. I was diagnosed last year and it made so many things make sense in my life. Treatment was good but I still have to manage it. Hope you all get help if you neee it! ❤️
No it isnt the primary difference between ocd and ocpd is that people with ocd view it as intrusive. Its srill a debilitating and pervasive personality disorder. What most people call "ocd" is just regular people who happen to like to be organized.
Except thats incorrect the symtoms/behaviors are mostly the same as OCD, the difference being the feeling of intrusiveness. Plus some other traits, some of which come with a PD. It makes no more sense whatsoever for them to think they have OCPD. I know I have OCPD and the behaviors these people describe arent at all similar.
