1. control freak

   A control freak is a term used to describe a person who has an obsessive need to exert control over people, situations, or outcomes. They tend to micromanage and manipulate elements in their environment to fit their own likes and dislikes, often refusing to delegate tasks and respecting others' autonomy. This behaviour often stems from their fear, anxiety, or insecurities. This need for control can negatively impact their relationships and overall well-being.

1. Control freak

   In psychology-related slang, control freak is a derogatory term for a person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done. The phrase was first used in the late 1960s — an era when great stress was laid on the principle of 'doing one's own thing' and letting others do the same.

   I have a lot of anxiety around being in a certain place at a certain time as I'm a bit of a control freak and prefer to do things at my own pace and because of this, taking public transport makes me incredibly anxious, you have no control over what time you travel, how busy it's going to be and you don't have the ability to say 'no' and turn around and go back home once you get on. I had previously had a massive panic attack on a train journey to London and now, a large part of me associates trains and public transport with anxiety and panic attacks.
