  1. It means you want to do something way more than you should want to. It is all you can think about. You have no control over it. The disorder part means that you are not suposed to be like that.


  2. Because Your obsessd about everything being right and its compuslary

  3. Obsessive Compulsive Personalitly Disorder is the same as OCD, my coworker has OCD, we clean houses so it works out great.  

  4. JUST WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE

  5. break the name down.

    an obsessive person worries about things till they can't sleep or cannot continue on their lives because of their obsessions.

    A compulsion is to be compelled by a force to do something

    An obsessive compulsive person obsessed by compulsions to do random stuff.  Like, counting bricks as you walk, keeping all of your old tissues, or any other random thing a person does to make themselves feel comfortable

  6. Its called that because a person will compulsively obsess over things. It's against their will. For example, some people with OCD must flip the light switch three times before leaving the room. If they do not do that, it makes them very anxious or even sick to their stomach.  

  7. Because your compulsively obsessed with certain things

    and its a disorder

  8. because you can't stop obsessing and when you obsess you become very compulsive in your obsessions.  It's as if you can't help it, your obsessions take control of you, therefore you become compulsive.

    Both disorders include the development of some obsession though.

  11. they're the same thing...

  12. What you describe is the same thing.  If you have an extreme desire to do things in a very rigid way, it can affect your personality or your behaviors, or both.

  13. because people become compulsively obsessed with doing certain things.

  14. Becaused your obssive and you can't control the things you have to do. Plain and simple. you HAVE to do it. like if its turning a light switch on and off 10 times before you leave a room. OCD ppl HAVE to do it. hope this helps. I see miss eyes above has the same answer lol
