Hyper-Self-Reliance Can't Be All That Bad

Psychological Researchers seem to indicate that those parents who miss handle their infants can cause a wide variety of developmental issues, even problems with the way their brains form. At least Dr. Allen P. Schore seems to show in his research, which granted is pretty convincing.

Still, the psychological researchers go one step further and tell us that one of the problems can cause hyper-self-reliance. Something that I am sure every parent would want from their children, teens and as they grow older. These researchers have many categories defining various stuff.

Still, who is to say there are not 2.4 more categories on top of the 4-main categories, or 10 additional sub-categories of the categories or combinations of categories or that the whole thing is nonsense (yes, I know that is pushing it, since we have so many case studies that seem to be re-occurring so often and psychologists can get together and discuss scenarios and just change the names with the same results).

But, bare with me for second because these researchers assume that hyper-self-reliance is not so good. I respectfully (and non-respectfully) and completely disagree. Why?

Well, since humans are inherently good at deception and although mostly harmless, they really cannot be trusted too far. So, why would someone postulate that a well-rounded person puts an excessive amount of faith in others? Because, if they have to do that, then someone might have Madoff with their money!

In my observations self-reliance = good! And more self-reliance therefore is better.

Now then, where does white meet gray area with regards to hyper-self-reliance and more self-reliance? And if self-reliance is good, then the sooner that is imprinted in the little human the better, right? The individual who believes that they can do better thru; "getting by with a little help from their friends" may never achieve their dreams, ambitions and goals. So, there are indeed tradeoffs.
