> 1. We have feelings of low self-esteem that cause us to judge ourselves and others without mercy. We cover up or compensate by trying to be perfect, take responsibility for others, control the outcome of unpredictable events, get angry when things don't go our way, or gossip instead of confronting an issue.

> 2. We tend to isolate ourselves and to feel uneasy around other people, especially authority figures.

> 3. We are approval seekers and will do anything to make people like us. We are extremely loyal even in the face of evidence that suggests loyalty is undeserved.

> 4. We are intimidated by angry people and personal criticism. This causes us to feel anxious and overly sensitive.

> 5. We habitually choose to have relationships with emotionally unavailable people with addictive personalities. We are usually less attracted to healthy, caring people.
