Put the first paragraph on a job application!

"Perfection is not an end goal to be achieved, but rather a process and mental state in which to try and envelope oneself. It will never be achieved, but that isn't the point. The point is the effort, drive and goal."

Not a clockwatcher.
Nothing wrong with that at all.

Too bad you don't live closer. I would fire my housekeeper..

Living with order and at ones own pace can even be therapeutic . Of course everything in life has its shadow side such as burnout , so slowing down at times can help balance things out.

After that first paragraph, I wondered if you looked like Vince Lombardi, too. I checked your pics: luckily not. Why don't you come down to OC? We like OCD types down here!

"is it a disorder to live life like I do or is there something wrong with this therapist?"
The diagnosis is only relevant to the extent that it affects your quality of life. Therapy or treatment for the condition should be sought if you or a loved one thinks that the condition reduces your productivity or otherwise interferes with your personal goals/ambitions. That's what the therapist should have told you.

neither! I suggest 75% cash and 25% stock, never 100%!!!

I always took the "D" in OCD as "Disposition" rather than "Disorder" it makes more sense that way, OP you're actually blessed, it really boggles my mind how some people find it perfectly fine to do things mediocre. I had a client tell me ounce that 99% was ok, that I shouldn't spend too much time in getting it perfect. pretty sad...

From what I read about OP she reminded me of an ex I had about 35 years ago. I never felt comfortable at her place because everything had to be in its place and perfect. I'm a slob at heart so we definitely were not compatible.

The way you describe it its textbook OCD... is that bad? Only if it bothers you.

There is probably something seriously wrong with most therapists. Really, who can stand to listen to other people’s problems all day.
If you are a little obsessive about some things, figure out how to turn it to your advantage. There are many things in this world demanding perfection and very few capable of trying to attain it.
In other words, fire the dumb therapist and gogettum girl.
But I could be wrong.

I love reading what you all wrote in response to my question. I decided that I like this part of me and if it's ever too much I may then decide to try something different. I don't think it matters if my giving my all is over the top. I choose to embrace my flaws and try using them to my advantage whenever possible. So, I am a tad on the competitive side and it is a huge propeller of my success. If it ain't broken my momma said not to fix it and she is a wise lady. 🥰

Sounds like your Life Path in Numerology is a 1. But I wouldn't know that unless I knew your b-date.

Also, moderation is key. Tip the scale to far in one direction can cause unintended out comes. As fun as an action can be.

I tried to go all in, but she said “just the tip”

The only thing I can see that might be a problem is insisting that everyone around you also behaves this way. I am not sure you have children but if you dont, when you do, you will be happy the clothes get washed , possiby folded , but most people arent into ironing onesies.
I don't necessarily believe that having to have seams just so or all the tshirts folded just so makes a person all in or giving their all. Some people are happy with clean clothes. When someone has a military like obsession with chores it can be that they feel out of control in other parts of their life. So if it's not a problem then it's not a problem but if it's a way to control what you can because there is something you cant, it may help to see what that is

And don't take what I said as a negative , it wasn't meant to be. I know people like you and it can get annoying when I try to be helpful and fold the towels and then she refolds them. And I had folded them neatly. But here's the kicker she wants to bitch that she's the only one who does anything. Well that's because we gave up even bothering because she's just going to do it over. So why even try to help. So this is just my 2 cents.
