mirochristie 0 #1 May 11, 2004 Do you consider yourself a Control Freak? Can someone please explain why is it such a problem to be one? Honestly, I think everybody is a Control Freak once in a while, right? I mean, do you really give a shit if somebody takes over, or does it bother you? I took this quiz: http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=1828&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544657>1=3391 I can`t take it when suddenly you lose control of your stuff, your life or your decissionsLiquidSky @(^_^)@ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mirochristie 0 #5 May 12, 2004 I guess you are right. But if you are used to having a routine in your day, and out of the blue something happens and it goes out of order of you can`t do the things you are used to (and look forward to, like jogging in the morning, before going to work), or somebody arrives and disorganizes your things or uses them and then he/she doesn`t put them back... and you get pissed of, ...isn`t that being a control freak? I just hate when that happens. I don`t like to have my day messed up or my stuff I don`t know...I guess when I have a child, and he runs my life, I`ll no longer have control over most of my stuff.LiquidSky @(^_^)@ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #6 May 12, 2004 That's so cute! You think -that's- being a control freak . . . ahhhh. No, what you're experiencing is called being normal -- not even assertive, just normal. A control freak (wait a minute, I gotta be careful she's not reading this), ok, like I was saying . . . a control freak . . . (what? No, I'm just typing on the computer, just a little web post) . . . anyway, like I was . . . (WHAT? No, I don't think the TV is too loud) . . . a cont . . .

Layton 0 #7 May 12, 2004 im in one of those 12 step programs.now what you said about some one using your stuff or making changes in your day is what im talking about.we have no control over what happens around us.we like to think that we do because it gives us a warm secure feeling that makes us happy.this is an illusion.we have control over what we do and only what we do.if we do right more times than not others will do the same.when i was using i was a felony looking for a place to happen.my behavior was very bad.today i dont do things to people that i dont want done to me.i dont like making amends for pulling off addict behavior.our behavior decides whether we walk free in society or whether we are locked up for acting out.these are just some of the things that i have learned since i have been cleran.i know the old saying rehab is for quitters but i prefer to say that i surrendered.before i got clean the only thing i knew about surrender was standing with my hands above my head.geez i kinda got off on t riff didnt i?

Vertifly 0 #8 May 12, 2004 I am a control freak when it comes to my own life. As far as everyone else is concerned, I could give a crap less what people do as long as it doesn't affect me in a negative way. And that is the truth!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #15 May 12, 2004 I'm definitely a control freak. I think it runs in the family; I see my three year old nephew doing things that others just don't understand, but I get (like, he needs to have his trains arranged in just the right way. If you switch them up, oh...you better watch out! He gets pissed!!!) I was definitely more laid back when I was in college. I think it was the beer.

happythoughts 0 #16 May 12, 2004 I think that most relationships are easier when you are young because people are more ready to compromise. Older people, who have been single for a while, tend to get set in their ways and do not wish to compromise. I know a lot of older women with "my car, my furniture, my stuff, my cat". They like it that way and don't want the complications of someone living with them and re-arranging their stuff. Also, the test doesn't have an answer for "I don't own drawers to put stuff in". I don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #17 May 12, 2004 Good for you Layton Yes I tend to be a control freak at times, but when I notice it I say the short version of the serenity prayer (FUCK IT) and life goes much easier MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #23 May 13, 2004 QuoteI think that most relationships are easier when you are young because people are more ready to compromise. Interesting. I guess I must be growing younger by the day! At the University (read 22 years ago), I was extremely focused and controlling of my time and surroundings. My friends even remind me how my b/f was kept in tow. However, now that time has gone by and more life experiences have traveled across the bridge, I find myself alot more tolerant and understanding of others behavior...understanding that they can be different and that's great! I put the control on myself, but not on others. Life has too much to offer than to be stuck in one place, with set patterns of behavior for the rest of your life. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
