I appreciate your obession. Try smoking some weed though.

Owning Truth

We all periodically have such confidence in what we are saying that statements such as "I'm sure of it" or "The fact of the matter is..." play a natural part of our everyday vocabulary.

For persons with OCPD, facts and confidence are all too often turned into "I'm RIGHT and your WRONG."

"The way I see it represents the way it is, end of story".

For others, refusing to yield to the "correct perspective" often entails encountering tension and discord.

This manifestation of OCPD entails one's adamantly guarding his dogmatic beliefs to such a degree that casual conversation often converts minor disagreements into heated debates.

The relative importance of any topic (i.e. comparing the effects of regular gas vs. high test on a particular car's performance) rarely is of consequence in determining the degree of the intensity expressed in the midst of the debate.


Perhaps there are a few variables on this planet, which are beyond debate in their apparent universal truthfulness. "Humans are a living organism when there is a heart beat and/or brain activity" or "Rocks eventually tend to drop in a downward direction when released into the air."

For the person who experiences OCPD, abstract ideals and moral standards become rigidly held truths.

Much insight in that post.
And I have seen alot of the above mentioned scenarios taking place in pretty much ever single thread that has ever been posted here so far.
Gonna use something from there in my signature, dunno what line yet as they are all good.
