People get spooked when they hear about how unpleasant and uncomfortable OCD can be for the person going through it. People who have sexual, religious and violent obsessions that they know are going to be completely misunderstood by people who don’t fully get OCD and the spectrum of it would feel much more at ease if it was just a case of them being extra-clean and they’d say they had no problem at all if that was their only problem. Seeing OCD as a disorder of excessive cleanliness and constantly framing it as that alone doesn’t help. Yes, that’s some of it for a certain proportion of people with OCD and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder but that’s not even the half of it. Just the most stereotypical, publicly acknowledged type.
