Control Freak

Value
Very Common, Total: 25 Points
Description
A character who is a Control Freak is driven to have things happen the way they want. They have a hard time delegating anything, because they honestly do not trust those around them to do things "the right way" (which is, of course, defined as "the way they think things should be done"). They have no confidence in anyone else's abilities to make decisions, and because of this believe that they must either do everything themselves, or else use hands-on, step-by-step supervision to get things done.
Such characters spend a lot of time trying to control their environment (getting everything "just so") and try to direct the lives of those around them by insisting that other people (especially spouses and children) follow their every instruction when it comes to things like clothing, dating, diet, and so on. They tend to be very organized, and have trouble improvising. A Control Freak will never allow someone else to take control except in the most extreme circumstances.
