Confronting a compulsive control freak

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!
