OCPD

Permanent Linkby Lilac Rutabaga on Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:52 am

I just took the Cammer's Test for OCPD in the OCPD forum.
My score was 83. That's the "danger zone."
I am schizotypal skitsotippal skizuhtippal which is the main thing I've been aware of.
I've known I'm a little "obsessive compulsive," too.
But that's not to the point of interference or disfunction.
Yes, I've got an "Avoidant" personality, too. A little paranoid and an incredible fear of heights as far back as I can remember, and that's before elementary school, but no external cause I can think of for that fear. The rest of the fears are "worries" about what might happen to others, rarely about myself. I think this might be a clue to "dependence" which is also a trait that often accompanies OCPD.

But, see, that's the point. I am -not- OCPD. I am just OCD. Cammer's test results make me look pretty far into OCPDity. My Os are not too bad.Clicking my finger against flat hard surfaces, shaking my hands a lot when I'm walking but not in public. Those are the kind of weird ones. Then the regular ones - routines, clean and tidy, precise steps in getting things done, do things the same way each time, put things back in the same place, facing the same way, things like that. But I am not dysfunctional exactly. The OC doesn't interfere with my "work-a-day" world, so it should just be OCD not OCPD. I'll have to study it out a bit more.

None of this is "bad." I'm not uncomfortable with any of it, not even the finger clicking against surfaces. It's just, what they call "eccentric" things, not harmful, not uncontrolled, not dangerous. Just a little spice to "normalcy". :)

I've been told about my OC for a while. I kept kind of pretending the person saying something was just being silly, but I've known there are several things I do that are definitely OC, and not from any other reason. I have to hide some of the things, but have been caught a couple of times and have to try to excuse my way out of it.

I'm avoidant and slightly anti-social. So even though I want friends, I kind of push them away. Darn it.
