>>16847739>wouldnt that be le general anxiety instead of avpd?Yes. I meme AvPDcel so much, but I know for sure it's a general anxiety not exclusive to talking with people. Actually, the system my brain uses to talk with people (here especially, but in real life too) can make it more bearable than say obeying the demon to clean my room or something. It's a bit hard to explain, but it's probably a big reason I'm here talking to you instead of doing some chores. I overthink that way more. It probably has to to with how much detail I can get out of a particular action. So let's say... A missed punctuation mark = no way out of this. A grammatical rule is a rule = big anxiety. Saying something vaguely stupid and getting bullied = can be reframed in a future post, maybe wasn't stupid in the first place, maybe makes sense in the bigger picture, maybe is in character etc. In the end, the OCPDemon is an attempt to help yourself make your life easier. As long as you can verbally convince your brain of the logic, you're good. If you can't and are made too aware that you hold an illogical belief, you get anxiety. This makes you very limited and inflexible in what you do with your life, I guess.
