Obsessing??

[spacial]

Being a perfectionist and being obsessive are 180 degree different. One wants to improve the other cannot.

That's basically it though.

What many describe is perfectionism. When you do a job, get it OK, but won't walk away and end up destroying it. That's just perfectionsim. We all need to learn to walk away.

Obscessive people have a thought or a notion or a fear, spinning over and over in their heads. Is the door locked? Check, OK. Better check again, OK. Better check again.

Repeated washing, especially of the hands, until their skin is raw and bleeding.

These are serious illnesses.
