Understanding the Desire for Control
Individuals naturally desire control as it offers rewards and protects from harm. This instinctual need for control can lead to attempts to influence others, such as in relationships, but attempting to control someone can create feelings of anxiety and lower motivation. Focusing on personal growth and refraining from controlling behavior can be more beneficial.
