Don't:

Don't tell me to stop doing it.
That will take away the control I think I have.

Don't tell me I'm better than that.
I like the control it brings.

Don't tell me that I'm stronger than that.
What's stronger than finding a way for control?

Don't tell me that you don't want me to do it.
I will do it either way. You telling me you don't want me to do it, means that I just won't tell you when it eventually happens.

Don't try to take away from me, the only bit of control in life that I have.
