Light reading before bed and feeling called out

Indeed, the struggle these individuals have understanding and valuing the perspectives of others, combined with a need for control in relationships, leads many to avoid intimacy altogether (Skodol, 2014). Furthermore, although persons with OCPD have trouble expressing positive emotions such as love, they are quick to express negative emotions such as anger and exasperation—this emotional imbalance keeps others at arms׳ length (Villemarette-Pittman et al., 2004). These interpersonal problems have clear implications for treatment: notwithstanding their compulsively compliant efforts to be good patients, their rigidity and need for control impedes these patients׳ ability to develop a therapeutic alliance (Bender, 2014).

I think attachment style is like half malarky half a good thing to be self aware of but interesting that. OCPD is associated with fearful avoidance when I feel like I gneuinely view my relationships as like. Work/projects. and ones not worth my time or effort in maintaining just kind of fall off
