Results
The questions above represent common signs you could be controlling in your relationship. If you answered yes to most of these questions, then you might have control issues.
It’s important to note that it’s the behavior itself that indicates controlling issues, but what motivates the behavior.
When such behaviors are motivated by fear of losing the person, distrust, personal insecurities, etc. then the behavior becomes a sign of trying to control someone else.
If you suspect you might be a controlling person, consider seeing a therapist to help you figure out how best to address your behavior.
