Control

I read this somewhere and I am trying to understand.

"When you're wanting to control someone else it shows that something in your own life is out of your control and you're trying to exercise that power in another area of to make up for it. What in your own life is out of control right now?"

Why does it mean?

What does it mean?

I guess it sounds sort of like the insecurity issue. You should talk to some leos- they are very controlling.

But there is a difference between trying to control and trying to fix.

What do you mean?

I dont see where the two are related at all.

Will you explain?

....
it means the person is taking out his own insecurities on someone else to make up for his own mistakes but his pride gets in the way or some sort of fear that he doesnt want to take it upon himself.. or just doesnt fuhreakin realize it.

or hes just an ass.

Leos like ME are controling because they hate to se people they love fight with eachother... That and they're bored.

*I mean controling of a situation or a conversation

"When you're wanting to control someone else it shows that something in your own life is out of your control and you're trying to exercise that power in another area of to make up for it. What in your own life is out of control right now?"

Mainly what confounds me, is how stupid a person would have to be to *not* understand such a simple paragraph. LoL

LOL Phoenix

It's one of those trite little sayings that tries to explain a lot but really oversimplifies the issue. ie. you project your own inadequacies onto others...um for example...the way you call everyone a loser soshy.

LOL!

(more word fun)

actually, one of those is a name.

Remember those books in grade school that were supposed to teach you how to read? They would say things like, "Nan and Dan ran fast to see Spot jump high" and stupid crappy sentences like that. When I teach my children how to read, I'm starting with the hard stuff, because then, everything else will be easy.

lol (cracks whip)

interesting method, or you could do what my parent did with me, give up and assume they will never succeed in anything, so that way the children have no other choice but to succeed in order to prove the parents wrong... GGGRRRRR!!!

Err, well, I had a hard time learning to read, I always got hung up on how c was a usless letter becuase we have k and s. But once I did learn, I always tried to read the more challenging stuff, just to make up for my past retardedness. Of course, I still couldn't spell anything... Come to think of it, I still can't, but whatever.

Morganofmind, I'm proud of you for proving your parents wrong. That's awesome (and, pretty much what life's all about. lol, just kidding)! I can see what you mean about 'c' being useless. Good point, I never thought of that before. Spelling, well, that's something I used to excel at, but it doesn't show in any of my posts because I'm usually in a hurry and sometimes forget to throroughly edit them.

About learning to read (haha, this is funny)...my dad and I would have serious speed reading contests between each other when I was little, so I guess I mainly learned from that element of competition. And of course, my parents read to/with me a lot. I finally got to the point where I could read faster than them, and then I actually enjoyed it. It's fun to read; it's fun to win. lol 😛

lol..."thoroughly".

see?
