how do u deal with them?
alot of people call them control freaks.


in case u dont know what controlling people are.
there people who care on what ur doing.

there also people who want you to talk the way they want u to.
it also means that they dont wanna hear what ur saying because its not what they WANT to hear.

what are ur thoughts on them though?

Depends on how much I am paying or how much I am being paid... What position are we in during this hypothetical?

Fix your grammar buddy. It made this hard to read.
Most people consider me to be really controlling because I get extremely upset when things don't go the way I think they will. I don't consider that controlling though.
When people try to manipulate me into doing something I find it extremely satisfying to directly oppose them. They know what they're doing and are too cowardice to admit it. It's honestly one of the only "social cues" I can pick up on.

Me, I like anarchism, so control freakery angers me. I'm less intolerant of leadership, but only as long as it's a case of "follow my advice if you like, and if you don't like, that's fine too." One whiff of coercion or any kind of ploy, and I make for the exit door. Most (if not all) leaders seem to use force and / or tricks to artificially boost their position.

My thought on controlling people is that they are compensating for their lack of self-control.

I'm rather skilled in asking people to do things in a way giving possibly high probablilty they actually do what I ask for. Years of observations and analyzing made me able to deal with verbal agression and some other issues.
I don't like controlling other people, I intent to respect them. Nevertheless, I found that some ways of passing a message or asking for a favor are more efficient and cause less conflict.
