The act of assumption is a needy and controlling behavior.true or false.?
Answer:
The original word is assume. Break that down and you get */u/me. In other words never assume and never make assumptions because if you even get one fact wrong in the slightest then the assumption is wrong as well. I think there are those people who need to always be right and therefore always assume things but is it a controlling behavior. I am not so sure to me it would tend to leave you out of most things once people realize that is how you were.
Personally I think it is, but people who do this are probably not conscious of it. If they were aware of it, they would change their thinking and realize they could be a lot happier. So true because this erroneous behavior plays out that way, but false because that is probably not their motivation.
Very true. Sometimes assumption just creeps up out of nowhere and controls your mind and body. Assumption is the lowest knowledge of all.
I have to disagree with most of the people in this discussion. We make assumptions every day. It is a necessary function of our day to day lives. We get in our cars, drive to our various destinations and assume that the other drivers on the road are going to obey the traffic laws and signs. We assume that if we go to work and do our job that we will get a paycheck at regular intervals. Without making assumptions, our days would be bogged down with trivial worries and decisions in almost every aspect of our lives. We base these assumptions on observable, repeatable patterns of behavior. To assume is not needy or controling behavior, it is a necessary skill. Without it, our world would cease to function as we know it. I think that perhaps the question you are really asking is "if someone "appears" to make an assumption about something and then trys to make you feel guilty or justify a behavior or trys to manipulate you based on that assumption" then you might be able to say that they are attempting to be controlling. Without more information it would be impossible to determine whether or not they are needy or not. Controlling behavior ULTIMATELY comes down to insecurity, and while it is sometimes an obvious connection, it can also be a long convoluted path to get there. Obvious insecurity that manifests itself as controling behavior is relatively simple to spot: a child crys because it cannot see it's parent. It stops when they come back. It is "controlling" the parent by bringing it back into view, thereby alleviating it's neediness and insecurity. Apparently strong adults that have a need for absolute control of their enviornments, including the people in them, is an example of the more convoluted path to behavior that is ultimately rooted in insecurity and "neediness". This type of behavior may or may not be detrimental. Consider the CEO of a company. They would not have risen to a position of power and dominance without some strong need for power and control. I hope this helps to answer your question. Given more specifics regarding a particular situation/circumstance I may be better able to answer your question.
