    You might happen to know someone with a controlling personality in your lives, right, guys? It could be your friend, your partner, your boss, or anyone else really,
    It seems like they are making plans, and always want everyone to follow along with them; what they are going to do, what they are going to eat, or what they want you to do after that. They are often giving you unsolicited advice, telling you to do something "Because I want you to," or not to do something because "I don't want you to do that."
    People with controlling personalities often have codependency issues. They solely rely on their ability to control others, to make themselves feel more confident and happy. Once a controlling person has you under his or her apron, It can be challenging to get out.
    By doing this, they end up making you feel like you have lost your personality, your independence. Thereby, they have their thumbs, and they destroy your self-esteem.
    Please watch the rest of the video to see all lists ...

      Hi Karan,
      You might find the following quote by Eckhart Tolle helpful....
      "When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself.
      When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world."
      Your self esteem is at stake here, and bullies are crafty.
      You deserve to be happy, so....
      Be still and know.
      Be still, and you'll know what to do....
      Your inner voice will tell you how to cope with his or her mind games, or if you should leave.
      Hold on to your inner stillness where wisdom resides....
      Best wishes ❤️

      using rhetorical question on brightside, and acceptance also helps. maybe thes controlling ppl have aceptance issues themselves and seeing you subtly move on and function well can give them that encourage from inside out! hainv principles and having anaylsis full of empathy and function can also help win them over.

    These are excellent well explain examples. Narcissists are very controlling. People with pure, innocent hearts can become victims. However, once you reach the point of realization & get away.... You will never fall for it again. It's just very sad for people to be victim to a controller. They can come away very broken, especially if they've been in the situation for a long time. It's alot like domestic abuse ( which involves control )
    It's abuse to ones very soul.

    Turning you into the victim and then blaming you for "playing the victim" . Classical controlling personality. It may drive you crazy to the point where you dont know who you are, or where you're going unless they are near. There is no "right choice" or "right way of doing things" . You will always be blamed for no matter what. This is exactly why its so maddening for other person and hard to explain to others.

  • @EIStudent
    @EIStudent 4 ปีที่แล้ว +82

    Great insights. I was married to someone with a lot of these qualities. I finally told her "If all of 'our' problems are my fault, then I'll remove myself from this situation." That got her to straighten up for a bit but I wound up leaving anyway because she just couldn't help being manipulative. Lesson learned...the absolute EASIEST way to know if you're in a good relationship or not is how you feel about yourself, when you're with that person. Second lesson learned your ultimate power in a relationship is your willingness to end it IF you continually find yourself unhappy. A controlling person always needs someone to control and manipulate. However if they know you won't stand for their b.s. (i.e. tell them you'll leave...and actually do it, if you have to...) that shuts down the b.s. pretty quickly. You NEVER deserve to be with anyone who doesn't make you feel good about yourself IF you're being fair, generous and respectful to the other person.

  • @Helenavanthof
    @Helenavanthof 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    So I guess I’m a controlling person then. I used to be extremely critical of my little brother, I think how I treated him would definitely fall under bullying. I think I wanted control somewhere because a lot of things were happening in my life that I, as a child, had no control over (parents divorced, all of my best friends moved away, etc). And my brother became the victim of that. Even though I still have to keep myself in check, it’s already a lot better now. I’m now more aware whenever my inferior superiority complex arises and I am better able to deal with it. I hope one day I can get fully rid of it.
    I wish I could just be okay with failure. I wish I wouldn’t always feel like I need to be better than others. It’s because I’m scared of being inferior to others. It’s exhausting.

I just laughed and said, "Why you to say to me directly, coward, instead of creating a fictional situation that you're describing?" They had a rage attack and told me to get the hell out of their apartment. Thankfully I'm no contact with this former friend (but unfortunately stayed friends for a few more years after that) who went from mirroring me as someone with the alleged same life to turning into or sneaking into wannabe bully.

    the only way to get out of someone who is controlling is to just burn that bridge and deal with the consequences that come from it.

Yes widowed twice before 45. I miss and l love them both, anyways because I was a mess from the latest loss had to come home and live with my loving mum an dad. I noticed that before my losses that my father treated me and spoke to me alot better and always showed me what he had done and built around our homestead. Since having to return home and live in the bedsit he built ( basically for us kids or visiting family, freinds etc ) all of a sudden I became a hindrance son ( I feel ) who was lucky to have a place to come to. I love my father and appreciate being at home (for the time being) but noticed my younger sisters and their achievements are spotlighted as where I as the eldest feels like a bum. I love my sister's too but now I am under my father's roof again and made felt an underachiever has had my confidence destroyed.

I mean exactly like you talked about. I thought maybe she had issues but every time I confronted her about them she would get upset and not want to hear anything I had to say. Which is one of the things you said would be the case. We have been separated for a year now and I hurt so bad and miss her so much because for the first year she was amazing to me. She helped me get out of a whole I dug for myself. In so many ways. So after finding your video, my jaw dropped! This is exactly what she was doing and you made a lot of my pain go away.

I remember they said an idea that we used to do and a way to bring the past back but truthfully I wasn’t comfortable with and they frankly told me many many things I already know for certain things. I tried writing something better but stress and anger made me scrap the script I was working for them. I had to disconnect to focus on my mental well-being and hopefully I can do this without them coming back to bring my progress back down.

The second-worst is when you do stand up to them and they decide to lash out where my case become extremely abusive to get that control back. If there's anyone out there in a relationship like I was in just know that there is light on the other side!

If I say no or something like that, she would get very angry and say that I am a bad friend until I would give in. She also didn’t like a lot of people and when I go and stay with them, she would get very angry with me to a point where she yells at me and tell me to end my friendship with her. If I also made friends with another person she also tells me to leave them because ‘they’re taking me away from her’ .My other friend (lets call her Natalia) and other people are telling me she is trying to control me and how I deal with it.
