    Please no pressure Percy
    This guy hates being in the hot seat. He can’t take pressure especially when his boss is watching him do something. Public speaking? One of his greatest fears. He has never learnt to handle performance anxiety. This has affected his career badly. So bad, he is more often than not looking for a job than actually doing one. He is a good friend to Zero self-esteem Zac.
    Zero self-esteem Zac
    Something happened in childhood. Still trying to pinpoint it. Possibly sibling related. He has never really believed he is good enough in important areas such as social skills, relating confidently to others especially in big groups. Also has no confidence in dealing with pragmatic issues such as fixing things at home. Lacks common sense often.

    Hypochondriac Henry
    This guy thinks “Cancer”, if he has any minor symptom like a headache, cough or sniffle. Then he googles “headache” and reads all the potential diseases or conditions. He’s a worrier and he takes longer than normal to recover from a real illness. Also he gets easily distracted in meditation, thinking about different parts of his body and wondering if that little ache in his ankle is a sign of something more serious.
    Animalistic Abe
    This guy is addicted to creature comforts. Couch sweet potato, food glorious food, what’s in the fridge ? mentality, have a beer to celebrate sunset, have biscuits to go with your laptop, enjoys hot baths, values his dreamtime sleeptime, let’s have dessert and why not another choc? Abe has no motivation except to eat, relax and escape more serious colleagues such as Ruminator Ron.

    I just wish i believed that i wont be this nerdy nervous girl forever.

    It is probably something I don’t like about myself too. But it might be what makes us special, unique and loveable too.

    almost what I wrote in another post only 2 minutes ago.
    Amazing!
    Maybe they can put us on the payroll here at TB. You can be Authentic Anita ,Counsellor in Charge (CIC) and I’ll be Llama Jack. of course you’ll get more pay. As long as I can earn 50 bucks a day, I can survive. So you can get say 200 bucks a day? Not bad eh…

    My solution: keep my life free of events, keep a life where nothing happens and therefore nothing to ruminate about.

    Your post was amusing and insightful. This quote was probably my favourite. Thanks authentic anita!

    We don’t have to be comically competitive. That’s almost as bad as spiritually competitive.

    Looking back at this now, I think I’m often in Analytical Alan mode; some of it useful, much of it not.

    Neurotic Norman- as the name suggests he blames himself for everything and always second guesses himself. If in an argument with someone, he will doubt himself first and defer to the other person. “he must be right”. Good friends of Polite Paul. He can spend hours after an event, beating himself up over his lack of competence.
    Polite Paul- this guy likes good manners to the extreme. He’ll get annoyed at the slightest thing a waiter or waitress doesn’t do. “did you see the way that waitress just slammed that plate on the table?” He is also good friends of Analytical Alan.
    Analytical Alan. This guy loves analysing and hates the present moment. He’ll spend hours trying to critique himself and others. Good friend of Ruminator Ron.
    Ruminator Ron. This guy loves brooding over past events, focussing on the negatives and blowing them out of all proportion. Then he replays events with him looking like an idiot and get more angry every time he replays it. This guy needs a counsellor asap. He is unlikeable.
