What do you do about ocd people who have to have stuff done a sorted way and make you do it their way?

Depends if I am under their roof. I follow if I am still living with them. Put things orderly to be respectful.

my own place with hubby… yes.. it would be nice to discuss with hobby how we want to organize our home properly where we can find things easily.
it is a none issue for us. We also raise our kids to be orderly.
it’s nice to have an organized home.

That's not technically ocd on it's own. Sounds like something more intense. A general "my way or the highway" mentality often fed by entitlement from childhood. I have ocd. I like my shit where i like it but i don't impose my shit on other people or make them do everything MY way.

As someone with OCD, myself, I simply explain to them that, if they want it done their way, they will need to do it themselves.

I understand their desire, but I also know that, even with the best of intentions, nobody else will ever be able to do it the correct way, because I've been in their position, before.

I explain it to them that if I have a way to do something that I find better, I'll be doing it that way unless it's better their way. That respect comes both ways and even if they are afflicted, it's not an excuse to be disrespectful.

@tonita91996 thanks for the MHO

[MemeSupreme]

if you actually mean OCD, then it just depends what it is

some stuff is pretty avoidable lol just need communication. if im living with them tho i'd like them to get treated. exposure therapy helped my OCD a fuckton and made me less of a control freak lol

[Fireguy17]

they are fun to mess with.
My wife is kind of like that, I am not, nor will I ever be.
So sometimes things get moved out of place, the Tupper wear lids will end up having a tall one mixed in with the short ones in the stack, or other things.

I can't coexist with someone like that. But to be clear being organized isn't OCD unless it becomes obsessive. Being organized actually has an up side.

I have nothing to do with OCD people so I do things my way.

[Tonita91996]

Or they can do it themselves if they don’t like it

[genericname85]

Well the thing is 99% of people who say they have ocd Don't have actual OCD and are just triggered little bitches who wanna tell you to do it their way xD so it's best to ignore them.

[Tonita91996]

They still be bothering you when you’re trying to do something I either let them do it or I do it when they are not there.

[Anonymous]

If they try to make me do it their way, I send them on their way.

[Tonita91996]

Wym by that

[Opinion Owner]

It means they're not going to make me do something their way.

[Friendlybro79]

No one makes you do anything really... unless you're a prisoner

Head for the exit. This relationship will fail.
