Rapunzel tendencies

There is much to be learned from fairy tales and nursery rhymes.  Rapunzel is one of those characters.  I used to have Rapunzel tendencies.  I waited for others to rescue me rather than thinking about what I could do to resolve the situation. That makes for many long nights in a damp tower, not to mention having really tangled hair.  How about you?  What fairy tale or nursery rhyme can you relate to?
