E...S...j...!!!
Seriously, ESxjs will try to change you all the time! Sometimes, that's charming. Sometimes, it's annoying.

You forgot about the ENxjs.
And everyone else who has realized that people are surprisingly easy to control.

Or let's just generalize it to:
1. Anyone with ambition
2. Unstable people

No, see, everyone's a potential control freak. Only some are kinetic control freaks.

Yeah, but both kinds are control freaks.Originally Posted by Cone
And, of course, there are nuclear control freaks, electric control freaks, heat control freaks...

I used to be a big control freak. I've mellowed out since I've been in treatment though.
The thing is, when people have OCD or eating disorders or are control freaks, it's all the same issue... fear of loss of control over themselves and their own lives (and low seratonin or other neurotransmitter imbalances).
At this point I don't control people, I more manipulate the dynamics of a situation. It's always for the better though! Honestly!
As far as controling people... I don't control them, I condition them. I postively reward positive behaviors and ignore the person when they are dislplaying negative behaviors, or, depending on the extent, use some type of discouragement. It's just like training my puppy. When he's good, click and treat. When he's not good, ignore him or use a deterent. It's basic conditioning and we all do it whether we realize it or not!!!
That's what they all say. :wink:

yes, manipulating the "dynamics of a situation". good choice of words!
Beside everyone can be a control freak at something I say my ISTP brother is a control freak to me.
ISFP, SEI
I honestly couldn't see an ENFP being a control freak... but I'm biased, what does everyone else think?
ENFP - Ethical Subtype.
