The Fix: When Control Becomes the New Addiction

Apr 28, 2025

∙ Paid

You’re the one who double-checks everything.
Plans three steps ahead.
Fixes what’s not even broken yet.

You like being prepared.
You like knowing what’s next.
You like keeping things running smoothly.

And if you’re honest…
You don’t like surprises.
You don’t like needing others.
You don’t like not knowing what to do.

It’s not just a preference.
It’s a coping mechanism.

You’re not “controlling.”
You’re trying not to feel helpless.
