Question

What does it mean if someone is allowing others to take over in their life?

Answer 1

Well, they're usually called push-overs.  Lol

Either because they care way too much about what other people think - so they let those people make their decisions for them. Or they are just dealing with low-self esteem and don't care if they make the right or wrong decision so they just go with the flow and do something else, rather than what they'd do themselves.

Answer 2

they have no self-confidence

Answer 3

It means that they're increasingly unsure that they're capable of making the right decisions.

That springs from a basic lack of self-confidence.
