So what does this deadly control dramaturgs look like? Before we get into understanding this, there's a couple of things we got to know about human nature in general.
Everyone has a tendency to rely on one form of control in there dealings with others, but there are some people who take it further, a tactic of manipulation. The dangerous kind are aware of their actions but have minimal regard for the implications. They will rely on the following styles and tactics to manipulate people and situations.
Control Drama #1 - Poor Me
This is person will portray a false sense of being a victim so that they can appeal to another person's compassion. Mechanisms of this drama include: lying, dramatizing and sulking. These types of people have difficulty in taking responsibility and become more argumentative. They may pretend to be assertive but in general, they are people who are envious of others, resentment of their peers and in actual fact, have extreme low self esteem.
Control Drama #2 - Interrogator
This one is more aggressive, this person would have a tendency to ask many questions with the specific purpose of finding something wrong. It seems that they cannot handle not knowing. People end up drawn into a never ending cycle of accusations and explanations with the interrogator.
Control Drama #3 - Intimidator
These people are the most aggressive of the four types. There is a threatening air of danger conveyed from them. They are unpredictable and can threaten, use harsh words and abusive actions uncontrollably.
So such an interesting world of Control Dramaturgs, great characteristisation for scripts, movies and stories, but such an annoyance to deal with. One thing I learnt this week is life is short, who do you want to spend your time with? Those that waste your time with petty emotional crimes or those who are true to who they are, independent, and positive in their intent.
