Let's talk about control freaks for a second. You know, the ones who think they're the sun and everyone else is just a planet revolving around them, their needs, their wants, and expectations. They have this idea in their head that their way is the only way and if anyone god forbid, dares to be different than them - they're automatically considered to be damaged.

Take, for example, the OP of today's story. He claims to be a "naturally cheerful person" despite having gone through some real-life $hit throughout his years. He praises himself for being happy-go-lucky 24/7 and expects the same from his family. Newsflash! Not everyone is able to put on a fake smile on their face and call it a day. And even if we are, we don't really want to. Let's be real, the world is not exactly all rainbows and unicorns, so it's natural to feel emotional, sad, and angry at times. Welp, not according to this guy.
