Are they commanding?
Have you ever been around persons who all they seem to want to do is to order you around? There are times when in your estimation they may mean well but then you realize that it has become a bit overwhelming to the point where you feel uncomfortable. Do they believe that they have to micro-manage when they are at work? Yes, they do as they believe they are the only ones that can do the job properly. Could it be O.C.D. ?
It’s more than just wanting to protect you. If you are to make a decision, they want to tell you what decision to make. They want to tell you how to dress, even how to eat or where or where not to go and maybe even to the point of when or where to sleep. The fact is this might be happening to you and you are of age to make these decisions but you are not being allowed. Why are you succumbing yourself to this? The fact is you are being controlled.
Do you know how to identify O.C.D?
We need to be able to identify these persons and if you follow these personality traits then more than likely the person being observed even if it is you, it can be pinpointed.
- Control freaks usually correct people when they are wrong. They are always pointing out the other person imperfections.
- For the most part they always try to win an argument?
- Why is it they are never wrong ?
- They live to judge and criticize people
There are many control freaks out there. They may be at your
workplace or even in your home and to top it off they might just be your friends. The truth is it is a disorder obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCD). Is it one that should be dealt with? Let us be mindful of this as we stay home and deal with those who are around us. Dealing with Covid 19 and O.C.D together in one house could be really pressuring.
