It’s just that it ruins the story, so we can leave it but it’ll really disrupt the flow

This goes for most things people ‘tell’ you. If they have to TELL you, then they definitely haven’t shown you. “I am a nice person/generous/ don’t hold grudges/not a control freak/etc”....

You should take down this post because I think it’s pointless. I am NOT a control freak, and sometimes I have to say it louder for the people in the back.

I go out of my way to be clear that I am a control freak. Does that mean I'm not one?

Maybe you don’t know them well enough to determine their true motivation. Not sure “freak” is a label anyone would put on themselves.

Probably also telling you that being “bossy” means you’re a leader.
