Thread: should Squirrel be in a self help group??

with as much time as i spend thinking about a persons sense of worthlessness..and the human condition..and my own adhd..

i often wonder if i would be of help or hinderance(a distraction) to a self help group..like a self esteem class or something..

just thought i would open this up..i know here i can get a little too focus'd but IRL im not that way(well differently..here no one can hurt me physicaly )..i am not as open with my thoughts..but even in this area i tend to talk more IRL than any other subject..

I think I should just go drop u off at Sunnyville and keep ur checks comin.. Alittle to keep u there, and the rest to raise ur granddaughter

I was just wondering if that gif was inspired by squirrel chucking--not to mention what being unceremoniously being tossed a few times while trying to snatch some corn could do for a squirrel's self respect.

you talking about my avatar?
that was just a random search for squirrels when i found that one..

well in any case the goggles are a nice touch....

Self Esteem, it is exactly that. No group will ever help except reinforce your ego, which is exactly what got you in the predicament in the first place (speaking from personal experience). Good luck.

not sure if this is an encouragement or not..

you mention Ego and i know i have been accused of having a big ego before..( i would argue,its not so much ego as perspective, but i wouldnt argue too hard)

Find help wherever you can but make certain they are helping you because sometimes they know not what they are doing. Your friends are your best source of help, ask them anything that you think that you need to understand about yourself and a true friend will give you positive ways to help yourself.

Hi, it is encouragement, when children the only reinforcment we get is of the ego, it is where we get our value aka self esteem from. We need an externalized reinforcement to feel good, sort of like fuel for your esteem. Help groups really serves to reinforce being among people that are alike you, this creates rapport but again it has come from an externalized source thus having reinforcement from outside is the same as what brought about low self esteem, usually that comes about when your esteem-fuel is low, for instance when you were called names or isolated this made you lose that approval - ego reinforcement that you would have gotten normally from more supportive places and now there is none. True self esteem is self powered, like a solar panel on the head.

Surprised to see you here squirrel. . :wave:

one of us...one of us...
