Repeat after me:
OCPD is not a “model disorder.”

Here’s what people seem to think it is:
Hard working, strong morals, tireless, high potential for success, neat and organized, always on top of everything.

What it’s actually like:
Feeling the need to work constantly but being too scared to fuck up, frequent moral confusion, getting nothing done because too busy/tired from beating self up, over-extending self, feeling like a loser in spite of accomplishments, overly particular about and attached to personal belongings which may or may not be neatly organized, too anxious about having it together to actually have it together.
