THREE Faces of Low Self-Esteem
Most of us have an image of what low self-esteem looks like, but it is not always so easy to recognize. Here are three common faces that low self-esteem may wear:
The Impostor: acts happy and successful, but is really terrified of failure. Lives with the constant fear that she or he will be "found out." Needs continuous successes to maintain the mask of positive self-esteem, which may lead to problems with perfectionism, procrastination, competition, and burn-out.
The Rebel: acts like the opinions or good will of others - especially people who are important or powerful - don't matter. Lives with constant anger about not feeling "good enough." Continuously needs to prove that others' judgments and criticisms don't hurt, which may lead to problems like blaming others excessively, breaking rules or laws, or fighting authority.
The Loser: acts helpless and unable to cope with the world and waits for someone to come to the rescue. Uses self-pity or indifference as a shield against fear of taking responsibility for changing his or her life. Looks constantly to others for guidance, which can lead to such problems as lacking assertiveness skills, under-achievement, and excessive reliance on others in relationships.

From Bulae99's all informative leash thread....
| bulae99 wrote: | Hey, this thread is really amazing. The one thing that I find interesting is that most of you guys don't use a leash, but you are expert in what happens when you lose control with a leash. When is the last time you used a leash? Based on all your blah blah not very f*^&^'n often..right??
My set up works great! The bungee is not a full on bungee. It has 3 cords measuring less than a coupld of milimeters. THEY BREAK REALLY EASY!!
This set up on a recoil leash has never hit my legs or any part of my body. I have been hit in the ass by the leash recoil unit hanging off my kite leash strap.
I advocate the use of leashes for people who don't want to spend a ton of time superman dragging for their board. I also think that this builds confidence when on the coast.
Just thought I would put my opinion on the thread..
Later,
Ron  |

Rufus Dufus and the caring people who helped. I can tell you that I have been picked up by many nice people in zodiacs, cayaks, and even a sailboat. I was happy to avoid the obvious painful long and effort filled attempt to get back to point A. Apparently, the Rufus guy didn't want to say, "uncle."
Sometimes when people are in a learning mode they protect themselves by psyching up to a point where their judgment is suppressed by their desire to make a situation work no matter what.
That is why it's better to help no matter what. Nice job
