What is a controlling personality?

EPer Musicbook suggests that it's one with lots of fixed ideas about what others should and should not do (your way or no way) and that control issues are just a personality quirk. What is the difference between this and a worldview?

    Maybe it's a question about open-mindedness? My world view is always changing. Besides, a world view is more objective. It's a way of seeing how things ARE, rather than how they ought to be done.

    It's the personality that tends to dominate in multiple personality cases.

    I dated a women like this for about 23 min.

    Allow me to give you just the highlights;

    * If she went to bed and I didn't want to she'd sit next to me and wait
    * If you don't call everyday, Obviously....You're doing something or see someone
    * Expect to find all of your mail opened, wallet ransacked daily
    * If she calls and you advise, "I'm at work let me call you back" but forget...Expect trouble

    * If you don't mind being "Timed" in the bathroom then this is "OK" too. Take to much time in the bathroom, is assumed to be trying to avoid them

    * When on the phone with friends or family members, 3 calls of this type means, "You're on the phone ALL DAY everyday

    * Look at another women? - forgitaboutit....YOU WANT HER....

    And that's only what I can remember in a min.

    They live in the world as an Idealist, not realist.......

    Don't walk, RUN from them and do not stop.

    Sounds like my mother. I thought she was a rare, special case. At least you got away in a half hour. Imagine growing up like this.

    There are a set of personalities that are based on the fear of being taken advantage of. These personalities counter their fear by taking advantage of other people instead. They figure if they are taking advantage of other people enough they can feel safe they were not used themselves. They use other people by taking control of what the other people do. They manipulate others to give things to themselves without receiving as much from themselves.
