Here's the problem. You can't really control what other people think of you. OPH behaviours aren't compulsive behaviours. They're unconscious ones. They're things you do without knowing that you're doing them. And often they'll make people think ill of you when they've never even met you because they've heard that you're annoying.

If you can control your compulsion to be cruel but factual then you've probably got a quirk and a reputation.
