Recommended: Independence for women

Human beings like to feel in control of themselves and their surroundings. We are said to be creatures of habit and that we do not like change. I don’t know if there is anything worse psychologically than the feeling that I have no control over something in which I have such a big investment. Being at someone else’s mercy is not my specialty, and I am betting it isn’t yours either. One of the biggest mistakes we can make during this initial period of feeling helpless is to make attempts to gain control over the situation again. The more we reach out the weaker we appear and the less desirable we become. Women in particular are turned off by this lack of self confidence in a man, and a groveling man is about as bad as it gets, so don’t …show more content…

Hopefully at some point you will realize what the truth really is and make a healthy decision for your long term happiness. This is not saying that your relationship is not salvageable because nobody knows that except the moon and the stars. But my experience shows me that trying to hold on to a situation that is painful just doesn’t pay off. So even though you may be feeling helpless, you are not. Some things are beyond our power and control and you will have to figure out what those are as life unfolds for …show more content…

Take responsibility and try not to make the same mistakes again. The funny thing is that the person I needed to control the most was me, and that was the guy I think I failed to control the least. Funny how if we are able to control what is in our power to control and leave the rest up to the world that life becomes a lot easier place to live. It was me who I needed to control, it was me who needed to listen and learn, it is me who is ultimately responsible for myself and how I allow people to treat me. I am responsible for my view of the world and the people and places in it. Nobody else should have the power to control my life except

  • Control Theory Vs Social Learning Theory

    165 Words  | 1 Pages

    Agnew and Passas talked about the similarities between the macrolevel of anomie and control theory, but emphasized that the micro level theory of strain should be considered separate from control theory. Agnew also compared strain theory to control theory and social learning theory. The theories differ by the type of social relations that they stress and the motivations on which they are based. While control theory rests on the premise that the breakdown of society frees the individual to commit crime, strain theory is focused on the pressure that is placed on the individual to commit crime. Social learning theory is based on the forces from a group that lead to a positive view of crime. According to strain theory, individual

Over twenty-five years it is suspected he killed 251 individuals while working as a medical doctor (“Harold Shipman”, n.d., para 1).

  • Responsibility and Control

    900 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is important for us humans to know that we must take full responsibility for our actions and maturely deal with any consequences that those actions may lead to. According to Ryon and Gleason (2013), “the first conceptualization of control was developed in 1966 by Rotter,” which is currently referred to as locus of control. Rotter defined locus of control as “the degree to which an individual expects that a contingent relationship exists between one’s behaviors and outcomes” (Ryon & Gleason, 2013). Fournier and Jeanrie reference Rotter’s study by explaining the two types of locus of control: “external control” and “internal control” (as cited in Rotter, 1966, p. 1). The purpose of Rotter’s theory was to examine “what causes reinforcement” whether it be an intrinsic or extrinsic factor (Kormanik & Rocco, 2009). Rotter measured “people’s general control expectancies” by using what is known as the “Internal-External Locus of Control Scale” (Fournier & Jeanrie, 2003).

  • Self-Regulation Theory

    1141 Words  | 3 Pages

    The purpose of this paper is to review the theory of self-regulation and how it can be applied to practice in health care settings to improve patient outcomes. According to Johnson (1997), more than 25 years of research has influenced the development of the self-regulation theory, which is about coping with healthcare experiences. Health problems have shifted from acute to chronic where it has been identified that personal behaviors are linked to over half of societies chronic health problems (Ryan & Sawin, 2009). As the modern nurse strives to provide specialized care and improve patient outcomes, the utilization of nursing theory continues to gain importance. This theory explains how patients use specific types of information to cope with health care events thus providing a rational for selecting information that can be expected to benefit patients. The concept of self-regulation has been a part of nursing practice in a circumlocutory fashion for years. It has been most commonly referred to as self-management creating considerable ambiguity and overlapping of definitions for that term and self-regulation (SR). For the purpose of this paper these terms will imply that people follow self-set goals introduced by their health care provider.

  • The Social Control Mechanism

    815 Words  | 2 Pages

    In, Body Work by Sara Paretsky, the Guaman family’s homophobia damages their family by causing both Allie’s rape and death, and the covering up of them. Homophobia manages to cause all of this damage because it is a powerful social control mechanism, meaning it leads individuals towards conformity, and shames and or ostracizes those who don’t conform to the societal norm. In this case, the societal norm is heterosexuality, and homosexuals are shamed and ostracized for deviating from that norm. Allie is ashamed of being a lesbian and decides to serve in Iraq in the hope that she can repent for her “sins,” and her family is so ashamed of her homosexuality that they must deny it, which allows Tintrey to cover up the truth behind Allie’s death.

In the first instance, I liked a guy and my friends told us we should date because I had never had a boyfriend. I agreed because I realized it might seem weird that I was 15 and had never had a boyfriend before. He was very kind and smart, but very “two faced”, and ended up cheating on me and being pretty emotionally abusive.

Both were poor ideas on my part and very psychologically scaring, especially considering in both relationships I was struggling with my eating disorder, depression, and anxiety. When I came to college I met Sam, my current boyfriend, and we intend to get married when we graduate. Sam has had to help me deal with a lot of harmful thought processes that developed from those relationships, even though I had worked through many of them before coming to
