Have you ever been around someone who obsessively tried to control and dictate everything they thought you were supposed to be and feel? 

They have an opinion about everything and try to control you by invalidating your emotions if those emotions don’t fit into their rulebook. They often start sentences with “You know what you need?” and then proceed to tell you. 

This ends up making you feel stuck, demeaned, and put down. 

We’re talking about the type of Energy Vampire called The Controller. This chronic lack of power can lead to depression and physical symptoms.
