How do you stop yourself from thinking you're right to be the way you are and it's unjust that nobody likes you for it when you are really a good person? And how do you stop making a fool of yourself in social situations by making misunderstood comments? How do you relax and let go of following strict guidelines?

Yes you did as tough one.
I don't know that you can just stop yourself from believing your right and that it's unjust that no one likes you for it despite being a good person. I think that sort of change in thought process would be pretty radical and would be the result of working with a therapist. It's so taxing when you believe you have a right to be the way you are but are in conflict over the fact that the way you are is causing people to move away from you. Misunderstood comments is a troubling one though. Could be the result of not listening to what others are saying, having a hard time staying on the subject, having a hard time communicating an idea in a cohesive manner, or maybe being stuck on an opinion or trying to prove a point. |

it's different things. Jokes, or trying to be fun and social, coming across as rude or odd or obvious, not being able to get my thoughts across in a way that accurately shows my way of thinking in a way they can understand, and yes getting stuck on an opinion and trying to prove a point...at that I just can't let it go cause i'm so frustrated they're not understanding what i'm trying to say.
and thank you so much for answering ![]() |

Although I don't share in your diagnosis, I do have much of the same trouble.
It is so frustrating isn't it? Some days I just want to avoid everyone for fear that something I say will be taken wrong. I don't know if it's neurological or psychological. |

I do not have any friends because of it. I just can't seem to make any. as soon as I get comfortable enough to be myself...well myself is someone not to be liked I guess...I just feel completely misunderstood. I don't understand why they don't understand my thought process. how can it be THAT different when I totally get what they mean and all their hidden messages?

I just want to be able to be normal. or have them magically get me lol Cause really I don't want to change....I like me. I want to be able to be myself because when I try to be someone else...it just screws everything up and I can't handle it...I get depressed

I was looking through this forum for any threads on OCPD because I noticed right away that Personality Place lacks a spot for it. I came across your thread, and understood exactly what you were saying. I get so frustrated with people not comprehending my meaning. Troglodytes! I am tired of trying to explain myself. It is like everyone else is speaking a different language. I have had to ostracize myself from most of the population. It doesn't help that I have also been diagnosed with other disorders, including BPD. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I wish there were more threads about OCPD on here, and you are not alone, and if you want to chat on the topic, I'm all ears.
