I just came to the realization of how controlling over little things I& #39;ve become like having to be the one to switch the TV from the Blue Ray to the Wii and back to the the TV. With that, being the one to insert a game or DVD and to be the one go start it.
In most board games I have to be the one to put it away because others don& #39;t do it "right", and I have to fold my own clothes because they have to be in a specific order. Not that putting away my own laundry is bad but I won& #39;t let anyone else put mine away.
For a while I wouldn& #39;t even let people fold my laundry because I have a routine with it, and I only started to allow that when I told them how I wanted my clothes to be folded. I brought up to my mom that I have "control issues" at times.
She started to list other things that I& #39;m that way about like thr fact that I don& #39;t ask before changing the channel, or I make sure they shower and bath, interrupting what they want to do at times. It made me sad that I have gotten that bad.
I can& #39;t believe I didn& #39;t see how bad it was, I definitely need to change things. I need to allow other people to make their own decisions and not ask if they want to do something, if it& #39;s not brought up. I& #39;ll start by letting other people control the show or movie we watch.
I need to start being the way I was around two years ago, letting others take the lead in deciding things, while also picking up more responsibilities around the house like vacuuming and doing more laundry, especially sincr my parents already do so much for me.
