Growing up in a cold environment often breeds a need for control in adulthood. It’s like a security blanket they never had.These individuals might display a tendency to micromanage situations and people around them.They might have rigid routines or standards and can become highly stressed or anxious if things do not go according to their plan.In relationships, this need for control may spill over, leading them to dictate their partner’s every move. It’s fueled by fear—fear of abandonment, of getting hurt, or of the unpredictable nature of human behavior.
