Does anyone else have this? I'm thinking maybe...

I have to be completely correct in everything I do or say or write (obviously, I'm not.... being human and all)... I don't mean that I have to "present" as being correct, b/c I have no control over how others see me and usually it's way beside the point.

But I always want to know, for myself, that I'm right. Even if no one else will ever see it. That my version fits in with my reality of the world.

I don't know, maybe it's ADD? eta, or OCD or SAD ha ha I'm just like a box of blocks with all these diagnoses. Of the three, I guess the middle is most likely to cause the obsessive need to just know it all.

Up to a point it's good, but then.... it actually hinders me from doing stuff & I'd like to get over it already.

I was this way once. It took some time to learn that I'm not always right and should see things from other peoples point of views.
I think it's very common in AS and ADD.
