How to Diagnose Self Control
What is self-control? It is defined as using will to control one’s emotions and actions, in order
to prevent making self-destructive, addictive, and irrational behaviors. It is being able to tell
oneself that binge eating when depressed is harmful, and needs to be avoided. It is the
discipline to wake up early everyday and exercise. It is being able to control anger and hatred
towards a person and not releasing it. Sometimes people do not realize how harmful living a
hedonistic life is, because they are too focused on constantly “rewarding” themselves.
Self-control is essential in character growth and development. Discipline is needed for a
person to make the right decisions and thus live a life that is well and able to contribute to
society. Some people do not realize they lack self-control, and have to yet understand the
implications in order to take initiative in developing it. Here are some tips to help you answer
if you or someone close to you lacks self-control.
Addictive, compulsive, or obsessive behavior causes a person with low self-control to give in
to indulgences in life that could, in the end, be harmful to himself or people around him.
Symptoms of this could range from alcoholism, drug dependency, over exercising,
overeating, gambling, and overspending. Workaholism in itself is also a problem because due
to the nature of addiction to the work, it is doing the person more harm than good. There is a
difficulty in detachment from habits, people, and things.
Lax personalities - People, who are satisfied with mediocre work, always procrastinate, and
are always late, lack self-control. There is no concern about how this will affect him or the
people around him. At the office, the person slacks off, always procrastinates, or is always
late.
High self-indulgence and hedonism - Characteristics of this are persons, who overeat and are
thus obese, engaging in binge drinking, engage in sex with multiple partners. They do not
realize that these habits are harmful to them until implications are seen and felt, such as
contracting sexually transmitted diseases or alcohol poisoning.
Lack of emotional stability - At what time a person is extremely stressed, sad, or angry, they
cannot help but show their emotions to the point that it gets to be a problem. These sort of
people need to seek out anger management classes, or those who are easily affected
emotionally by stimulus in their environment. They cannot control their anger and lash out to
other people. People with this problem have a difficult time not showing extreme emotions
and in dealing with even highly stressful matters in a rational and appropriate manner.
Relationship dependency - People who have low self-control are dependent on relationships to
give them stability and help because they cannot make rational decisions on their own. These
can be relationships with helpers, therapists, even parents and friends. They usually feel very
helpless and are not secure in the decisions that they make, thus the need to seek external
help.
Pessimism - When people show signs of pessimism towards certain things, such as thinking
why the need to do something good when no one will appreciate it, or why control their
emotions and be nice to people when they are not reciprocating good behavior.
General helplessness with their own personality - People who suffer from lack of self control
think that their own personality does not need to be changed, and do not see the need or
reasons for it. They think that since they have been a certain way for so long, there is no
need to change it. They see the need more for their environment and people around them to
adjust to their character rather than for him to adapt and change habits for the better. They
also show signs of refusal to be helped or in addressing any problem in the first place.
