Is perfectionism a form of OCD?

You want to smell the energy and see if it clean or not..nothing wrong..you smart.

I don't think that is OCD. OCD is an anxiety disorder that stems from Obsessions (Annoying, recurring thoughts) and compulsions (actions that rid the sufferer of anxiety). That sounds more like a quirk or habit.

This a quirk of mine, I usually will not eat my m&ms or skittles unless they are sorted into the colors of the rainbow. This is not OCD. But I do havae obsessions and compulsions, but I'm not going to declare myself OCD yet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
