Difference Between Perfectionism OCD And Order/ Symmetry OCD

Perfectionism can include motivations like fear of being judged or need to be the best at something (…out of fear of what? hmm).

Order/symmetry is motivated by its own existence. I’m straightening the crooked picture (or artfully/thoughtfully misaligning it) because that’s its ideal way to exist… out of alignment = incomplete. Creating spatial/geometric order = harmonizing the world 📐⚖️

…also, how can I focus on anything else if my environment is disjointed/out of alignment with the universe? I’d better spend 2 hours perfecting the cable management on my desk instead of doing actual work, otherwise I’m positive I won’t be able to focus on my work anyway.

(lol sigh)
