I really like researching the Cluster Bs [The dramatic and unpredictable cluster], it’s my fav ones to research 

But the one that annoys me the most to explain are the Cluster Cs [the Nervous and Anxious cluster] not because I dislike it but because people assume way to quickly by name about the disorders, especially Avoidant Personality Disorder. When I say the name almost everyone I’ve said it to has been like “oh I have that I hate people I don’t want people to talk to me misanthropy bullshit” when that’s NOT what AVPD is, it’s the opposite actually they wanna be liked so badly they’re afraid to do anything out of fear of rejection and embarrassment jeindke
And Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder my god how many people confuse it with OCD,, ughhhshhshs

Most people’s assumptions about OCD most likely come from OCPD and a misunderstanding of the compulsive ritualistic behaviors, as people with OCPD focus so much on something being perfect that almost all the time they never end up finishing it, sometimes they never even start it. They want everything to be done their way and is very hesitant when someone recommends a different, creative way. People with OCPD are also “pack rats” and have a bunch of reading materials and are most likely hoarders because “you never know when you’ll need it”. They’re very hesitant to take breaks and if they do get one they have to have something to work on.

I feel like describing Histrionic Personality Disorder can lead to people thinking that everyone who is attention seeking have HPD when HPD is the rarest of the Cluster Bs,, so I have to tread very carefully whenever describing it so people don’t make the misconception,,
