Control

In my class we are learning about a form of communication that rolls along the same lines as control. There are several different types of control in a conversation and relationship, some is good and needs to be there others are not so good and can be taken out of context. Where am I going with this? Well it's funny how you learn something and then you can see it all over your life. You see people that always have to be in control, whether it's them always having to be right, or talking over you, not calling when they say they will, and even controlling the way the conversation goes. It's interesting to see this in your friends. Me, myself I have never been a controlling person, I am actually very shy, but I have several friends that always need to be right, need to control everything we are talking about. It really bothers me, especially since I know it's wrong. Why do people have to be like that? Why can't you let things just go, why do you always have to get the last word in? In some cases why do you say you are going to do something and then never come through and then give a dumb ass excuse? You are controlling my feelings in regards to the situation. I guess this blog stems from my last blog. I am sick of being the one who doesn't speak up and when I do I am reprimanded by you. Why is that? Doesn't everyone have a right to their own opinion? Doesn't everyone have the right to think other than what you think? :woah: My question I guess is why do people so willing give into people like this? I have for years and now that I am more aware of it, I try not to let it get to me. But it does. It bothers me when you talk over me, and it bothers me that YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE RIGHT, and it really bothers me that your opinion is the only one that matters. Obviously you have no concern for what others are feeling and thinking. You are so involved in your life that you really have no concern for your friends. What else bothers me is the fact that you are friends with whoever is your project at the time, and you so willing push others away, just at the moment when others think that a true friendship is forming. But maybe you don't push them away, maybe they push themselves away from you. Did you ever think of that, maybe that's why you go through friends like most people go through socks. But I guess that really isn't your concern is it? YOU have control over who you choose at that moment to be friends with, when you start to see that the other person is sicking up for themselves guess what, you move on to the next victim. So classy. But where would you be if you couldn't control the person you were friends with, because that's all you know how to do.
Food for thought.......
