8 Signs You're a Control Freak

By Shelley Prevost | Inc – Thu, Dec 27, 2012 10:07 PM EST

Control freaks rarely know that they are one. They believe that they are helping people with their "constructive criticism" or taking over a project because "no one else will do it right."

They don't see their controlling behaviors as symptoms of what's really going on--their own anxiety has run amuck.

Irrational thoughts abound in our high stress world: If I don't get this contract, I'll get fired. If I'm not home by 6:00, I'm a terrible parent. If I don't get that raise, I suck at my job. All of these thoughts might be true, but probably not.

Rather than tackle our own irrational thinking and massage it into more realistic thinking, we attempt to control the situation, usually by trying to control other people.

Want to know if you're a control freak? Here are eight signs for your self-diagnosing pleasure.

Thanks Nebula, it really helped me today to read this.

You judge others' behavior as right or wrong and passive-aggressively withhold attention until they fall in line with your expectations. Sitting in silent judgment is a master form of control.

My wife has been ignoring my text requests to see our children for two weeks now. Alas, I remember the truth:

... and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

God is not mocked for sure and the scripture cannot be broken.
