i've recognized the fact that i am a major control freak.
i have figured out some pretty extreme ways to help myself with this over the next few years.
but in general, what are some small ways people can help overcome their controlling habits?

and what makes a person controlling?
is it lack of trust in people and life based on past traumas?
is it the paranoia of an unbalanced situation?
or is it just an extreme trait of personality?

The reason I ask is that I am attracted to older women around 50 years old and none of my family accepts that. They told me to get a young woman around my age or a little younger. I am 21. I know for a fact I wouldn't want a younger woman. I would rather be gay than do that.

His parents divorced when he was about 10 years old but his mom is still close to the whole family. He has learned though that his mom in unreliable. Now he is 14 and has a girlfriend that he is too attached to. He won't go anywhere withouth her and he is making terrible grades. He has no rules at home.

Do you think that his attachment to his girlfriend is normal or do you think there's any connection to his attachement to his mom?

Ever tried to change someone's mind? It's especially hard when someone is coming from a completely different paradigm. In fact, they may reject your message entirely because it doesn't make sense to them. So what to do? Should we reposition our argument within their worldview, in terms they understand and relate to? Or should we try to get them to expand their worldview? Which is more effective?

For a long time, the advertising world believed in the old "hierarchy of effects" or "AIDA" model. AIDA was a late 19th century selling acronym that stood for something like "Aware, Informed, Desire, Action." Some also call this "think, feel, act." More recent research suggests that our attitudes do not reliably predict our behaviors.

Consider a typical new year's resolution to lose weight, for example. If you polled the person on December 31, you would get a strong "behavioral intent" to lose weight. But that person's actions might ultimately speak louder than his or her words.

We learn from what we see and hear as children. Even educational programs are based on the "hear/see/say or do" method. Does it continue to function in adults? Consider advertising. We are heavily influenced by products we are told that we need to have. Couldn't violence work the same way?

Below is a letter from Larry Iles, writing to the Index, student paper at Truman State University.

"All around us, locally, are two reasons why that debacle should not only not be happening, but indeed why the reverse triumph to "babyface" President Bush should have taken place, as it more recently in the Red-Green coalition victory in equally troubled Germany's economy. In Kirksville here look in a third of nearly all the major store sidewalks and you will see, quite typically, dead, closed businesses with unshakeable non-prospects. While the recent representative, near quarter-thousand strong this campus-attended "Speakers Forum" debate on in Iraq confirms. Massive Columbia protests turn-outs and the 4,000-plus UMC Green Kith Brekhus vote Congressionally locally yesterday, young people, with huge educational debt costs yourselves, you do not want the Congressional Accounting office estimated $9 billion Iraq invasion minimum figure cost.

(the below is a letter in response to a Mr. Zoumaras in the Truman State U. student newspaper)

Taking you all to task for what he oddly indicates as a sustained and unfair critique of Student Senate without him giving you the defense, and natural-justice entitlement, of reply, as he names no allegedly fine senators or even evasively discusses the issue of value-for-levy on students' money that you have been valiantly trying to raise all semester. To write so McCarthy-like and pompously is not good, or accurate uncondescending history, or heavens, even herstory, given the gender representativeness of most Truman students. It's shameful taunting.

My friend is attracted to older (30-40 year old) women and when he told his aunt (who he never has been close to) about it, she said that they were too old for him and he needs to find someone his own age. When she told him that, he just got so angry and was talking about cutting her out of his life. He said that he would have rather her told him that he was not meant for any woman. This was a couple of years ago and he still is angry at her.

Should he still have a relationship with her or is it best for him to cut her completely out of his life? I am trying to help him but don't know what to say to him.

Simply curious to see if people listen to their heart or mind more often than the other.
