Maybe fear is the reason they seek control of that something though. The main times I feel anger are when people waste my time, because I lost time that I could have used for better purposes. I could see that ultimately being due to a fear of having too little time to do what I want to do in life.

Maybe sometimes, but it would be pretty rare.

At least for myself, and other people I know well.

Why else would you want control over something though? If not to make sure you get what you want. Which is driven by a fear of not getting what you want?

(A side note from an angry control freak thinking about this thread).

At that point I tend to agree it boils down to control which boils down to feat and it’s just very hard to admit.

That really seems like trying to shoehorn a square into a circle, and doesn't make any sense to me personally.

If that's how you work though, then no worries. :)
