Symptoms
Obsession
One of the biggest reasons for control, is the fear of losing it. It can be difficult to recognize when you may be experiencing control issues. Those around you may deal with it or avoid you presence in general. You may not realize you are micromanaging or gas-lighting ones that you love.
Compulsion
Excessive need of control can become overwhelming and exhausting, ruining relationship and distancing friends or make a difficult quality of life. The origins of the problem of control may have its root in a traumatic experience and be a reaction that is self-protecting. Because of this, it can be difficult for one to appear vulnerable
