petrushkagoogol Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 A "control freak" lives a very regulated life and takes decisions based on deep evaluation. On the other hand, so called "normal people" are wanton and foolhardy, and rely mostly on gut feeling. Who then is the "freak", the former or the latter ?

Maine farmer Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Everyone is a freak, it is only a matter of degrees. A control freak is more likely to be driven to madness, I think, because there is so much that is beyond the human ability to control. In my opinion, it is best to accept the reasonable limits of control and have contingencies for when control fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness could result from overthinking, which results iin "endogenous depression"....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
