“Controlling Personality Disorder (CtPD).
A MUD characterized by extremely controlling behaviour born from an immense need to be in control of everything.
Symptoms include:
- Manipulating those around them to try and control their behavior.
- Obsessive organizing and planning to try to control all outcomes.
- Obsessive engagement activities that the individual believes may allow them to control the usually uncontrollable. For example, prayer, manifestation, subliminals, superstitions, etc.
- Extreme distress at events outside of their control, possibly leading to “Control Crises”. A control crisis causes a person with CtPD to feel like they have lost all control of their life and that they are unable to affect anything.
- Power fantasies of being a god/godlike being who is able to control everything.
- Perceiving others as trying to control them/take their control away for small acts. For example, someone may ask them for help but they perceive it as them secretly wanting to control them into doing everything for them.
- Belief they have the right to control others.”
