The problem I have with the OCPD diagnosis is that it is a mix of narcissism or similar AND perfectionism. It doesn't seem like a pure diagnosis, more a mix of things.
These people are not narcissistic. They have quite bad self esteem. They are self oriented out of worry. They don't seem to really want to hurt others. They are just so wrapped up in their own stuff that they forget other people's needs.
