[quote=Anonymous]I think narcissists are controlling, but control freaks aren’t necessarily narcissists.

A narcissists is doing things to throw you off balance—intense love immediately followed by intense hatred. Making you feel crazy and that you are losing your mind.

A control freak is trying to control their anxiety by controlling their environment. And will feel more consistent in their controlling (unlike a narcissist who is always changing the rules and expectations).

So a control freak might insist on being the one who drives. And always needs to be that person. And if you drive, will be a back seat driver because they feel out of control.

A narcissists will insist on always driving because he’s trying to convince you what a gentleman he is. After some time, he’ll start attacking you for never driving. Why does he always have to be the one who drives? Then you drive and he starts cutting you down about how you drive. (Notice the control freak isn’t cutting you down, just telling you how to drive. “Slow down” vs “You are so stupid you don’t even know that you need to slow down”. ) Then will insist that he do all the driving because you are an idiot who can’t drive.

The actions might be similar, but the intention is different. [/quote]
