Controlling People Through Suggestion

By LUCY ANDRUS

In the slang of psychology, the colloquial term control freak describes a person with a personality disorder characterized by undermining other people, usually by way of controlling behavior manifested in the ways that they act to dictate the order of things in a social situation.

What causes controlling behavior?
Some potential causes of controlling behavior are low self-esteem; being micromanaged or controlled by someone else; traumatic past experiences; a need to feel in control; or a need to feel 'above' someone else. None of these have to do with you, the victim of inappropriate control.

Deep down, control freaks are terrified of being vulnerable; they're anxious, insecure, and angry. They believe they can protect themselves by staying in control of every aspect of their lives. They're very critical of their colleagues and their friends, but underneath their criticism is a mountain of unhappiness.
