unable to exercise self control

Self-control involves having the ability to regulate one's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in order to achieve personal goals. It is a cognitive process that involves planning and decision-making, which can be hampered by illness or neurodevelopmental issues. Additionally, environmental stress, negative beliefs, and external influences can make it challenging to develop strong self-control. It can also be affected by lack of practice, a person's upbringing, lack of adequate sleep, and unhealthy coping strategies.
