Yeah I think a nuanced approach per situation is best; and it can be difficult if you know you have a *tendency* to lean one way or the other. But implementing it can be very helpful!

I think a robust person actually decides how to see an instance of an event, i.e. decides whether they want to take control or not and does so after looking at the available facts. I know I do it like that. But I get that this can be hard, depending on circumstances and personal history. And often it is not readily obvious what is actually going on. Having the information from the video is definitely helpful for many people.

Didn't know that was called locus of control, definitely an interesting concept and as usual the ideal is somewhere in the middle rathercthan diving to either extremes.
