So these are the symptoms and some of them are incredibly accurate (for me).
A pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and
mental and interpersonal control, at the expense of flexibility, openness,
and efficiency, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of
contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:
- is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or
schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost - shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not
met) - is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of
leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic
necessity) - is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of
morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification) - is unable to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value
- is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit
to exactly his or her way of doing things - adopts a miserly spending style toward both self and others; money is
viewed as something to be hoarded for future catastrophes - shows rigidity and stubbornness
so if you exhibit these symptoms, you are not alone.
