Yes, I just did a nice thing for this person and got ripped for it. Always seems to turn everything back on me and of course is never wrong about anything.

@jh31251 Your response to @colleenyoung's post, seems to indicate that the person you have been interacting with, shows some of the classic signs of OCPD, per this site The Recovery Village, talking about the difference between OCD and OCPD

It is difficult to have positive relationships sometimes, especially when parties have some form of a personality dis-order or mental health condition. From my experience, my comment is to know that you are acting in a healthy manner. How the other may act, is on them. That doesn't mean it is right, that doesn't mean it is excusable, doesn't mean it hurts less.

Has this person been formally diagnosed with OCPD? If so, are they helping themselves survive on a daily basis with medication, or counseling? Being there for someone, and helping them realize that they risk losing friends/family/joy in life because of their behavior can be tough, but rewarding for you.

I hope this helps a little bit. How are you doing, today?
