Estoy confundido si hay que usar e subjuntivo en este caso - MOH1, Jul 1, 2015
Yes 'Es natural que no te controles' but I'd say 'Es normal que no te controles' ;) - Pablo064, Jul 1, 2015
MOH1, what is your native language? Knowing this might help people help you. Maybe add it to your profile. - jtaniel, Jul 1, 2015

"Es natural que no te controles" is better.

With what's called impersonal opinion -- es importante que, es absurdo que, and so on -- we use the subjunctive.

No controlarte es natural... Or: No poder controlarte es natural... ?

My rule of thumb is try to avoid the messy subjunctive if your can... wink

It sounds like 'not to control you is natural-not to be able to control you is natural' but you can say 'que no te controles es natural' or 'que no puedas controlarte es natural' :) - Pablo064, Jul 1, 2015
No controlarse es natural, entonces... ;-) - Faldaesque, Jul 1, 2015
