ORIGINAL: Leatherist Growing up and acting like a competent adult is usually a good start. Stopping with the habit of creating mountains out of mole hills is a good second. Good thoughts. However, I feel that I am a competent adult. I work full time, and go to grad school. I am completely financially independent, pay my bills on time, have good relationships with people, avoid drama and try to avoid stress. i have my scars, but who doesn't. Yet, I have no self-control when it comes to books, or dining out. I know I shuldn't, know it would save me money (though i don't out spend my means), and know I am only hurting myself when i give into the temptation. I don't believe this makes me incompetent, or someone who makes mountains out of molehills. I have no self-control when it comes to some things, and am trying to work on that. Actual advice would ahve been appreciated. i agree with the above, and i also would question the assertion that 'most' do not have a level of self control. i think that self control is expressed in a wide range of behaviors, and that it is impossible, or almost impossible to determine that without knowing a person.
