This need is met productively by such things as being on stage, closing a deal, and engaging in competitive athletics. When the need is not being met with positive activity, the person ups the risk involved to increase the excitement of "winning". Situations like this are often the result when the risk level exceeds the skill.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144368053819416130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-13643777655647372252015-05-21T10:34:50.911-05:002015-05-21T10:34:50.911-05:00This reminds me of the old Norm McDonald joke abou...This reminds me of the old Norm McDonald joke about cliff Diving. <br />"There are only two categories in cliff diving.
