A Girl's Hero Complex?

[Samurai Silhouette]

Do you like anime? It sounds like something you picked up out of an anime. Maybe you identify with it to sound cute.

Um, no.

I think about my own abilities and what I can do to get out of it. But maybe that's just me.

Am I the only girl that does this? I'm alone. In a bad situation. Scared. I scream (for whatever reason) and it's my guy's name. I realized, I have this weird background thought process going on, that if I feel I am in some sort of trouble I can't get myself out of, I feel like I should be able to call his name and he'll come running/magically appear or something.

I didn't know Bella Swan was posting on the escapist!

Jests aside, it sounds to me like a slight lack of self belief to feel reliant on another person. Nobody here is qualified to judge though, your guess is as good as ours.

Used to be in a relationship with a lass like that.

Problem was she needed me to constantly be there and I was off in the army. One day I had 47 missed calls from her in a 5 hour period I couldn't answer my phone.

Needless to say that relationship ended pretty fast.

There is a thin line between wanting your man to be there for you and stalking him.

Vivace-Vivian: In the original post, when I was attempting very badly to describe a vague situation, I noted "some sort of trouble I can't get myself out of" meaning something you try and try to solve but can't on your own. Not that you just throw up your hands from the get go. That's a big one a lot of female posters here keep reacting too. It's ok to need help sometimes after you've tried.

Rawne 1980: Wow. Even if I can't reach my husband, I'll give up at two calls. Leave a voice mail on the second call and call it a day. Sorry for your experience!
