Self control

Self control isnt the same as self preservation,though some confuse the two. Self control is what keeps you from endangering yourself and the people around you. People who lack self control like to think of themselves as living dangerously or on the edge, which is not entirely off, but there's a difference between doing something risky on purpose and knowing what the risks beforehand, and wandering/stumbling your way into it and not knowing why. The same people who brag about living dangerously are the first to want credit for being cautious, they call themselves cautious every time they gain control of themselves, which is something other people are doing all the time, using self-control. It's like being honest, nobody should get credit for being honest, responsible, or using self-control and good judgment. Self preservation is doing anything it takes to survive, like a snake or a reptile, without any thought about anything else.
The girl didn't have any self control, but had plenty of self preservation.

self control sprain

Self control is just like a muscle, and, when overused, it gets strained and doesn't work anymore.

self denied control

This is when a person (male or female) feel that they should not have control over their own lives. This is caused by a troubled past or self hate, or being controled by family members (usually the parents) for to long (usually by the age of 18)

People who are like this uaually panic when given something to maintain or to look over.

However when they ask for something to control it is uaually something small to look over.

If this is not taken care of the person may become insane and sometimes suicide.

However insanity can also cause this if said person hears voices in their head.

Some of the signs are:

sleepless-ness
lack of apatite

dangerous levels of alcohol/drug in take
deep depression
feeling the need to stay in
lack of interest in normal everyday things
not taking care of oneself
Some suicide victims have self denied control and feel that they can't live without being controled

Self control

Right but I didn't have to LEARN self control because I'm not a fucking retard, yeah? I was able to do drugs and drink without becoming addicted and I was able to quit without "giving myself to Jesus because my wife left me" because I'm not existentially weak.
Hym "Hey, you know how many steps it took me to stop doing drugs? 1. I just did it as a whim. The same way I became the greatest mind and writer in the history of humanity. That's called 'self control.' I didn't have to LEARN that. I can just DO that because I'm a genius."
