Why is OCPD decision making so challenging?
One of the symptoms most often associated with OCPD is difficulty making decisions. People who suffer from OCPD tend to look at choices as being black or white. When something is not very clear it becomes difficult to assign it to a certain category. This can bring on a great amount of anxiety because the person suffering from OCPD is looking for a concrete answer. OCPD decision making can also be tough because the person often feels that any decision will have tremendous impact. Most of the time, those with OCPD view the world as “all or none.” This can make it extremely difficult for them to decide whether or not to invest their time and energy into a project.
