2. Perfectionism
Individuals with and without OCD or other mental health issues struggle with perfectionism. It’s part of the human condition to strive for perfection. Perfectionism, on the other hand, is taken to a whole new level in OCD patients. In OCD, perfectionism refers to the pursuit of retaining perfection while also striving to appear flawless to others. Significant life changes can result from a single act of imperfection. For example, a young lady with OCD and perfectionism would never leave her home because she never thinks she looks good enough. On the other hand, a young man who is struggling with perfectionism might quit painting or taking pictures simply because he is never satisfied with the final results.
Furthermore, all the perfectionists are mostly people-pleasers, and they see it as a way to fit in with society. If a person with this condition doesn’t have the proper medication to treat it, they will most likely end up being alone and afraid of doing anything for fear of failure.

I found it interesting it’s not a fun thing to have but it can be controlled thanks.
I enjoyed this very much, thank you.
They say OCD is a mental health problem. When is being neat and tidy a problem. I could be the opposite dirty and messy and a hoarder to me that’s a problem. If I check the front door couple of times to make sure it’s lock, I look at it as is it clean and people are welcome is not a problem. I call it old age lol. And to me that’s a problem. We all look at life different. When was the last time you saw a roach inside someone apartment that has OCD. I would like to see the study on that one!
Checking the door “a couple of times” to make sure it is locked before leaving on vacation is not OCD. Checking the car doors 5 times before walking into your house after work or checking the house door 7-8 times after re-checking your pets inside 4 times and then making sure the faucet is turned off 3 times and re-checking the AC thermostat 4 times then re-checking your pets again to make sure all of this is safe before being able to get into your car and leave for work in the morning – THAT is what OCD is like. It is crippling.
