    I once read, “imagine life as a raging river, does it serve any purpose to struggle? Wouldn’t it be more relaxing and peaceful to go with the flow?”
    This really stuck with me because sometimes I try to control every aspect of life, and I get frustrated when something doesn’t go my way. This reminds me to let go and go with the flow...even though it can be hard sometimes.

    Thank you for this video. Good to hear I am not the only one recognizing the toxicity of controlling but challenging to stop myself from controlling. I am one of those rare girls with extremely controlling behaviour. People don't notice well, because I am fake to most of the people I hang out with. When I start to care about someone, I like to plan their life for them so they can have a better life, for example, planning their budget or planning their work/vacation schedule. My best friend is really indecisive and needy, so our friendship worked out really well for almost 5 years now. However, my boyfriend is pretty independent and didn't appreciate any of my advice. He is definitely the nicest person I saw in my life and I don't want to be the reason for the breakup in the future. I am slowly realizing that I cannot change or control people. I am slowly working on this. Good luck to you guys who are also having the same problem as me.

  • @flamehiro
    @flamehiro 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I learned that you should just treat how you want to be treated. If you in relationship, trust your partner unless there are obvious signs. Respect goes along way! If it doesn't work out, give yourself appropriate time to recover before seeking a new person or even better don't look. A chance encounter is much better imo. Still give respect even if it doesn't work out. No point hating each other just because it didn't work out

  • @mzmoth

  • @britanymedina6064
    @britanymedina6064 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I control by lying. Making myself seem more desirable than I am and then the lies make me look psychotic. Nobody wants to be with a liar. What’s crazy is I thought I stopped doing this, but talking to an ex has me acting in ways I used to. Trying to control the dynamic by lying because I don’t feel safe. Now that I caught myself I’m afraid to admit it and cut the loss because I know after I admit it we will no longer be cool like that.

    Not sure if you see the comments, I actually only started watching you today, but similar to this guy have listened to you on the Dave Ramsey Show. How do you balance the extremes of "I'm important" and thus telling everyone your problems vs "I'm not worth it" and not telling anyone your problems? Also, can't wait for you to get your own podcast! I will be subscribing as soon as I hear it comes out.

    I'm a woman and I needed to hear this im in a relationship where I want a closed relationship he is indicating to want poly . We,ve been together for almost 16 years. He admitted to keeping this to himself for years. He is a dark empath/covert narcissist. I have fought,prayed to keep things together. So much til I feel if I don't keep control he will drift away.. I know better but im being stubborn and hoping for that one day my effort would be all worth it. He,d see my value,my love,my sacrifice, everything I gone through. And realize that and change. Right now I'm admitted to him why I'm overcontrolling how I'm feeling about all this. He is taking to time to think bout this im giving him space. Im realizing my own toxicity on my part of the relationship . I Feel that he is battling between love and lust and I understand it's gonna be tough. Just like going through my own emotions going through will be tough. I hope in the end he can live with his decision and I can too.

    I hold a lot of value for myself and know my worth but i still get very jealous when there are hot girls on the tv screen, he has other women on his social media. I just get so worried he’s going to look at that in a sexual way. I don’t know how to get past that way of thinking and not care what he looks at. I don’t want to be the insecure girlfriend, but I also don’t want to settle for someone who might be looking at other women

    Im stuck. See SHE, has wont listen to me about my current fiscal situation, which I am struggling in todays economy . Example. She says, Lets get a hotel in scottsdale for the weekend, and do this and do that. Then I say, well that sounds great but maybe we can do this instead, because I cant afford that. Her response, is that I am controlling and manipulative and its always my way or the highway. I see that point of view,, but she doesn't contribute to any costs, and refuses to listen to my side of the finances. She just takes it personally and then throws insults and hate at me.

      That’s the problem. School teaches people that they should “act a certain way.” Why can’t people just be themselves? If he tries to fit that mold that everyone says he should fit in, he’s not being true to himself or others. In fact, he’s being someone he isn’t. But society wants everyone to fit a certain standard which is just one. This programming all begins in elementary school.

    Why is he react to the guilt by controlling her instead of making more money to pay off her student debt? Wouldn't it be better to focus on himself and making more money. Once the debt is paid off they can invest and become rich rather than driver her away if the marry. If they break up, well at least he would have the motivation and things set up to become a more wealthy man. He can apply his anxiety and controlling nature to work and maybe become a billionaire. Everyone wins! Just figure out how much of an externality he would have to pay and make that the target goal of feeling better. Does he feel that he caused he $10,000 worth of student debt? Then he can make that his target goal. He then will have the freedom to marry who he wants to without fear of not being manly enough to support and care for a family. If he feels guilty because he views her as incompetent with money, then maybe she shouldn't marry her until she learns to manage money better.
