On confronting a compulsive control freak

Self-explanatory

 

By Stanley Collymore

 

Turn to me, look me straight in the eyes and truthfully

tell me what it is that you really want from me, as

frankly your general behaviour is becoming

quite distressing and worrisome to me

and I simply can’t make heads or

tails of your incomprehensible actions, or even what

it is that you’re supposed to be doing. And that’s

not rational conduct by any means, or some-

thing that I should be compelled to put

up with in stoical isolation, and quite

unequivocally I most vigorously

will never ever contemplate

effecting any such thing.

 

So here’s a piece of practical advice to you from me.

Stop immediately your discernibly narcissistic

Queen Bee postulations which stipulate

that your every want must instantly

be converted into someone else’s obediently

addressed commands dictated and solely

controlled by you, obviously. Failing

that, dream on if you must, which

is your private and lawful right

to do I’m sure. But I strongly

demand, and ardently trust,

that in doing so you don’t

seriously expect me to

play any part in your

rather idiotic and

risky scenarios.

Author’s Remarks:

Ring any bells either with yourself or someone whom you know personally or even quite intimately? Not a nice situation, I know, to be in either through your own behaviour or as the consequence of finding yourself the victim of a fixated family member, friend or neighbour.

 

But when it’s all said and done there’s only one person who can genuinely solve that conundrum for you �" yourself!
