Controlling people are easy to spot. They are abrasive and obsessive-compulsive. They are rigid and self-absorbed, creating victims who are unable to fight off the forceful controlling behaviors. Although this is the stereotype, there is another controlling personality who hides under the facade of niceness.
It seems paradoxical, a nice person being a master controller. But, this type is more common than you might think. A "nice controller" exerts his will or manipulates while rationalizing that it is "for your own good." It starts out as "trying to help," so it seduces you into acceptance.

[...] the publication of Frederik Prausnitz's Roger Sessions: The inclusion of many lengthy excerpts from Sessions' correspondence gives the reader a very different view from that of the "mathematical" composer, resulting in a strong sense of his personality-his nervousness, his excitability, his passion, his selfdoubts, his tendency toward self-analysis (e.g. "My problem seems to me to be above all one of coordination and regulation, and above all perhaps one of controlling the tempo of my nervous rhythm" [p. 193]). [...] the reader is drawn in as much as any acquaintance of Sessions during his lifetime must have been: we find him likable, charming, and sympathetic, despite his infidelity, irresponsibility, and selfish moments.
