> insulate myself from people who can control me and make me feel miserable. I'd like to know the answer to this aswell. It just may not be possible, not without also insulating from all the good people in the world. My current strategy is to run the other way as fast as I can whenever I find one of these control freaks coming my way. And on the other hand, to glue myself to people that I do work well with. Anyway, solving this riddle is 80% of the "problem", the other 20% is the what/where/when, etc. (IMO.)
