for the purposes of this video
I am going to be saying and using the term control freak according to
psychologists control freaks come in two different ways with many of them showing signs of
both ways
The first type has an unconscious fear of loss of control they get anxious and reactive in
situations that are confusing and eärnur
Predictable the second type is motivated by unconscious power needs. They've become almost
Addicted to the feeling of proving themselves
Being in charge and getting their own way
I can hear many of you saying out loud to me Charlie
What is a control freak?
Well a control freak as the name suggests
Is someone who needs to be in control?
Because without it they fear their lives will spiral out
of control
Control freaks want to control everything and when I say everything, I mean absolutely everything
So are you?
possibly a
Control freak let's now find out I'm going to ask you eight questions and you are going to apply an answer with either. Yes
Or no and at the end of the eight questions, we'll find out what that means
The first question is do you always have to have the TV remote?
Next to you the second question
Do you repeat instructions?
to people the third question is
Do you need to smooth out your bed when someone sits or lays on it?
The fourth question is do you have personal rules?
routines
rituals or ceremonies
The fifth question is do you help other people?
Drive like telling them what route to take when to turn where?
To park or remind them that the traffic light
Has changed the sixth question is do you insist on being?

Accuse you of being a control freak if you answered. Yes to fall or under of these eight questions

However, you have a need to control some things not everything
However, make sure your urges to control. Don't take you over
So you're an enjoyable?
