You Are The Champion
"Don't worry, I got it."
You play as the Hero. You are the one who usually tries to take on the world for any cause you believe in. You are a natural leader in most circles and are not afraid to take that position if a situation calls for it. Others look to you for inspiration and praise you for your acheivements. Even though they love and adore you, however, you are left feeling alone or overwhelmed many times. You're almost always positive and keep your chin up despite any setbacks because you know that you will succeed in the end, no matter how long it takes.

Which Classic Story Role Do You Play?

Hero?

Sigh. Guess I'm the Hero. Again. Even though I don't always want to be.

Being the Hero means that others misunderstand you, and angrily and fearfully attack you, and assume you don't care, even when honor dictates you cannot respond. Sometimes being the Hero is taking the blows, without judgment, and letting them teach you. Sometimes being the Hero is having the courage to publicly admit mistakes and ask for ways to live and learn and love better, and not stay stuck in your old patterns of hurt and fear. k is right that I fear being left by women who don't need me, and it has happened over and over. I have, in the past, left them to avoid that pain. Sometimes I have not pursued relationships because it was clear that she/them was not meeting needs or would lead to worse pain, and I have not been able to communicate this well, or at all. Nericksx's point that I have the ability to get under people's skin and leave scars, means that I need to be even more aware of this, and work on not leaving scars.

Being the Hero does not mean being a doormat, however. It also doesn't mean I'm a coward.

Anonymous posters: Atonement is an intensely personal ritual for me, NOT for you. If you participated in my atonement, you did so uninvited. I must heal and learn before I can or will ask forgiveness, and I'm learning. I'm working on Love. Ms Pinkk understands atonement like few others on this list, and her analogy is apt. Obviously, more time is needed. Recover, then come kick my ass and see if it will make you feel better. Or, when we can, learn and grow, so I/we don't do it again. I try to practice Bushido; I certainly haven't mastered it. I welcome the lesson.
