Has anyone else OCD toward morality? I have an obsession with being morally right, doing the right thing, being a good person etc I have a notebook with a list about my morals -things that are morally wrong/right -words to avoid because they are wrong -things to do to do the right thing -moral missions how to change the world ... I check at the end of the day if I was morally right and write it down and hate myself if I failed I am hypercritical of myself and also about others When for example and artist does something that’s against my morals(and even if it is only on slur in a song) I delete all their songs, unfollow them, don’t listen to the music again I am very isolated because almost no one can be always morally right ;me neither but I can’t stop this. Is this even OCD or am I narcissistic or something like that. Or am I maybe a narcissist with OCD. I come from a narcissistic family system so I am scared that maybe I turn into one without noticing.

Yes, this is a big one for me. A true narcissist doesn't care and wouldn't even think to ask. A true narcissist doesn't care about anyone but themselves and always finds a way to make themselves the victim. And heaven help anyone who refuses to take their abuse or not give them what they want. They will never admit they did any wrong or apologize. I should know. I dated a guy briefly in college who was a narcissist and it was incredibly traumatic. Do you have a therapist that understands OCD and specializes in ERP? ERP helps so much.

Thank you for answering :) I have this too with companies which acted morally wrong. I find this really annoying because I constantly check site on Instagram to look if they are still morally acceptable otherwise I unfollow them

@McGonigal Yes a symptom of ocpd is that obsession with morality and trying do be a morally good person all the time but also expecting other people to be like that.
