      @@DarthZ01 No, OCPD is indeed a disorder, and it has implications beyond just wanting things to be neat. I’m not a mental health professional, nor do I have OCPD, so I can’t speak much to it, but I can link a resource to it if you like. OCD can actually involve the “it has to be perfect” thing, or at least something similar to it, by the way; for some, things have to be “just right”- turning lights on and off an arbitrary number of times, opening and shutting a door, double, triple checking a door is locked, etc. Less a desire for perfection, more that an arbitrary set of conditions must be perfectly met, but I at least think that still falls under a reasonable interpretation of “it has to be perfect”
      Anyway, sorry if I seem correct-y or annoying about this, I just happen to quite care, due to a variety of personal factors. Take care!

    As a person with OCD I'm quite organized, but not overwhelmingly. My main symptoms are constant intrusive thoughts and feelings of danger for my life and health, what is quite common for OCD. Until I started therapy, I sometimes would cry because of neverending stream of harassing thought about my soon death or accident, that's how exhausting they were. Please don't use this term when you're speaking about perfectionism, love to all 💜

    The thing about OCD is that everyone experiences it differently. For the books, I would have gone small to big. For the papers and receipts, i would have stacked them on top of eachother with the biggest at the bottom and smallest on the top. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the store to pick out, say, a box of noodles or loaf of bread and I have to pick the one that my brain tells me to. Often times I spend more time picking out the "correct" item of each than I do actually moving to the next item.
    Edit: I always start going up or down a staircase with my right foot, and if I dont end on my right foot I have to do a little shuffle in order to make sure I do. I step over cracks right-foot-first. I open doors with 2 twists of the nob and I triple-quadruple check my door locks every night. There's an entire list of little things I do. Dishes are an obstacle for me because I have to rinse them 5 times before I'm satisfied that all the soap and gunk is off.

    • @johnnycruiser2846
      @johnnycruiser2846 2 роки тому +7

      The dishes is a big thing for me. Im a germophobe. I keep track of what things have been touched by whom and what they touched before, that could be harmful. Even in a bigger, quite populated room. So I know the perfect time to wash my hands and I don't touch things that can't be washed easily after I wash my hands. For example my jacket when i come home and i leaned against a window in a tram...
      When i was a kid, i always had to drink from a glass from a side, that hasn't been used before. I feared the lip marks. And as you say, there are so many more things.

      @@valecasini OCD isn't just perfectionism, that's just what people without it believe it is. OCD comes in different "clusters" of obsessions, (different types of intrusive thoughts that trigger your anxiety) a few of the more common ones being Harm OCD (having intrusive thoughts and anxiety about hurting people), Contamination OCD (anxiety about and intrusive thoughts involving contracting diseases, being around germs, etc.), Religious OCD (Having intrusive thoughts that are blasphemous to your religion), Sexuality OCD (intrusive thoughts about having a different sexuality [this does not mean that a person is homophobic, it can and does happen to anybody of any sexuality with this type of ocd]) just to name a few. A lot of people fall in multiple clusters. Most people with ocd also have compulsions that serve to alleiviate the anxiety from intrusive thoughts for a short period of time i.e. washing your hands repeatedly, flipping on and off light switches a certain number of times when you enter a room, checking and rechecking things like whethrr you turned off the stove or locked the door, or looking up the symptoms of a disease to see if you have to go to the hospital.

  • @Jig_up
    @Jig_up 2 роки тому +364

    Just so you know (although I’m sure you’ve heard this before) a desire for “neatness,” perfectly straight lines, etc, is far more associated with OCPD, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, than it is OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Plenty of people with OCD may not even care about neatness in the slightest- as someone with OCD, I’m actually quite disorganized. However, I understand that the phrase “being OCD” about something, or things like that has entered the common vernacular, and I don’t mean to be “blame-y” about it- in particular, if you’ve had no reason to research, I wouldn’t expect you to know, and (as I said) the phrase’s common use has been effectively entirely separated from the disorder itself. I just figured, given you’ve titled/themed a video around it, you ought to know. That being said, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend you change it to “This game will satisfy your OCPD” or anything like that- it would definitely feel weird, as it would feel less like you were referencing a common cultural phrase, itself rooted in a misconception about a disorder, and more like you were directly referencing a mental illness, which would definitely feel weird.
    Anyway, take care!

      Also even if everyone swapped from saying OCD to OCPD, it would still be wrong most of the time. It'd be more into the right direction, but most people don't have a disorder even if they like things neat. A disorder is something debilitating, not a minor annoyance.

As someone with OCD I don’t mind really, people might not know as they won’t have had reason to do research (as they might not have anyone in their life with it) and as long as they know that it is an actual disorder for a lot of people that doesn’t necessarily include neatness, I don’t really mind if they use it to describes being neat, as long as they realise that it is not just neatness and affects a lot of people seriously, but that is my opinion and others might not like it when people say it

    OCD also affects people in other ways than visual satisfaction. Such as: The amount of times you knock on a door. Which foot steps through a doorway. Checking the light switch exactly three times to make sure it’s off. Lining up items completely straight/level. For me. It also affects my dermatillomania (skin picking). I have OCD in that I must pick at anything that’s visually different on my skin: bumps, blisters, scabs, acne, etc. my mind wants it to be smooth and gone so it forces me to pick. But picking of course only makes it worse. A ironic circle.
    It can affect others differentLy and can be so bad for some that it becomes debilitating to their daily life.

    A bit late to be commenting this, but perhaps the title could be edited to include '(Off Centre dissatisfaction)' beside 'OCD' so that it's differentiated from the condition(s) that are so much more serious with many more underlaying elements than, as others have called it, someone just being fastidious (and as they mentioned, 'fastidious' instead of 'perfectionist' or 'perfectionism' as that implies a standard being strived for, not someone being excessively pedantic).

    While I understand there may be confusion around what OCD is I would like to clarify. OCD is not just a general term for people who enjoy neatness and organisation, OCD can be very distressing for people suffering from it and you can’t just describe yourself as “OCD” as an adjective just for perfectionism. The disease consists of feeling a distressing need and compulsion to perform rituals and constantly check things out of an irrational fear of what happens if you don’t. Please use the term perfectionism when you’re referring to this context and leave the term OCD for cases where you refer to the medical disorder.

    I really like your vids and have been watching for ages but this is the one thing I have started to notice and really don't like in your content. I know it's not just you so many people do it, but please use a term like 'satisfying' or 'perfectionist/ism' because the way you describe OCD (a serious medical condition) is more in line with neatness/perfectionism - a personality trait and not a psych disorder that kills many people every year. It's here and there in other vids but this just seems really insulting, from the title to the description and vid itself - please just omit OCD in editing if it's not genuine discussion about the illness.
    Again, I know it's not just you it's probably one of the biggest stereotypes/stigmas in mental health. But you have a chance to use your platform to correct yourself and make a small but meaningful positive change.

OCD can occur in many different ways, not just an "obsession with neatness". It's truly a very serious mental disorder, the ritualistic behaviors, the intrusive thoughts, unreasonable compulsions that interfere with daily life, etc. The title, the thumbnail and even the description are all just unnecessarily trivializing this disorder, as if it's something that "everyone experiences a little bit!". I understand you probably did not do this with the intent of harming people with OCD, so I would suggest you do some research about what OCD really is.

But she was only allowed to leave her own room with one key, not all (seven). Desperate to find a way to save all (seven) children, the woman melted the (seven) keys together in the furnace to create a single key, hoping it would unlock all (seven) doors. But, of course, it did not work that way. Now her key opened none of the doors. Rather than leaving her room with a key to one life, she had taken with her the key to (seven) deaths.”

      Usually it's not just arranging everything so it's neat, it's arranging certain things because of what your mind tells you. There's some things that people with OCD arrange over and over and some things are just ignored. Sometimes they even hoard things to the point where it's messy, but as long as it's arranged in the way they want it, they'll do it over and over. It's about the overwhelming anxiety that takes over when you don't do it, not the satisfaction you get that leaves after a few minutes. One compulsion I can think of is the need to walk through every single aisle in order at the supermarket even if the thing you need is in the last aisle or in the aisle right beside you, or walking through a door until it feels just right. For me, if I feel something on one side of my body, I feel the need to make the other side feel the same thing. Lots of this time the feeling is pain, leading me to bruise myself all to get rid of the thoughts.

      As for your latter comments, do take into consideration that people experience things differently. Though you might not be affected (which is great), it did affect others and me who have also experienced the effects of severe OCD. And I am not saying RCE is insulting people with actual OCD, or people who make these videos are intrinsically insulting or mean, and definitely not trying to cancel anyone. But they probably dk the actual disorder, and it does trivialize it by making it out to be a quirky personality type. Similarly with depression, you must see a lot of people on the internet pretending to be depressed to seem "quirky". I have had people say to me "oh OCD? so you can't stand it when my pencil case is misaligned right?" Like no, it's not that simple.
      And RCE didn't just put OCD in the title, but he repeatedly mention it throughout the video. And I'm not sure if he just misspoke or what not, it's not too big of a deal, but saying "OCD the disease" is just wrong.
