Self-control means that a person experiences fewer emotions or controls them, that is, reacts to situations in a more neutral and calm way.
Why some people have too much control over themselves
Sometimes this prevents you from experiencing pleasant emotions - fun, joy, happiness.
Often such people grew up in a family where they were controlled a lot and were forbidden to express their emotions even alone with loved ones.
Why is excessive self-control harmful
Self-control can prevent you from living your life to the fullest because it can limit new emotional experiences for you.
Overly controlled people often have difficulty adapting to the slightest changes and cannot be spontaneous or easy.
In addition, such people may not be open to new experiences and emotions.
They are often considered to be very rigid and closed personalities.
They may also feel bitter feelings of envy towards other people who may be more relaxed and struggle to relax and have fun in social situations.
Allowing yourself to lose control and be spontaneous is an important skill for a happy and fulfilling life.
Therefore, if you cannot cope with this on your own, seek psychological help.
Perhaps psychotherapy will help you quickly resolve this issue in your life.
