Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by profound self-doubt and a relentless desire to attain certainty. Individuals with OCD often chase unattainable goals, whether in relationships or professional status, driven by their need for clarity amid uncertainty. This pursuit can manifest in various forms, such as limerence or even erotomania, reflecting deeper psychological struggles. Treatment reveals that beneath their perfectionism, individuals are confronting overwhelming fears about their inherent worth and the validity of their relationships, underscoring the complexity of their condition and the human desire for reassurance and self-acceptance.
The tussle with uncertainty has several manifestations, such as pursuing unattainable romantic prospects or striving for status while overlooking personal enjoyment.
Perfectionists often avoid uncertainty, emphasizing their need for clarity, yet they may pursue goals that remain unattainable, deepening their sense of self-doubt.
