It can be difficult to assess whether your own behaviors are overly controlling towards others. You may genuinely feel you have good intentions or are just looking out for loved ones.
But if others have accused you of being too controlling, it's worthwhile to thoughtfully examine your actions. This quick quiz can help you determine if you exhibit unhealthy controlling tendencies in your relationships.
Please remember that exhibiting controlling behaviors does not make you a bad person. Very often, the roots of control issues come from childhood experiences or emotional insecurity. That being said, controlling tendencies can negatively affect relationships, so it's important to take ownership of your behavior and learn how to let go.
There are compassionate professionals who understand and can help you build more open, trusting relationships. The first step is acknowledging if there is a problem, but be kind to yourself through this process.
