case text citation:

SENTINEL:
No pain is greater for them than betrayal.
Behind trademark reserve and alluring attractiveness is an individual who is hard to know and hard to love. Trust is the wall that divides. Whether Sentinel trust is an open or shut case depends on how each has evolved and adjusted to three personality-typical determinants: language, loyalty, and new experiences. Characteristic of Sentinels is a crane-calm look of time suspended stillness or fixed concentration. None other portrays mind-at-work like them. Others are often surprised at the thoroughness and depth delivered when they do respond and reply.
No thought, no word, no action is more painful to these sensitive beings than good-bye. So ingrained is their conviction that all good must come to an end, Sentinels may not risk "hello." To them, happily ever after only happens in fairy tales. And forget that silver-lining crap; the only thing dark clouds bring is rain. If by nature they are skeptical and by choice reticent, then one question begs answer. Is there a causal relationship between reticence and the fact that Sentinels suffer internal degenerative illnesses more often than others? What is eating Sentinel from the inside out?

+++ Skeptical, reserved, importance of loyalty, 'trust is the wall that divides'; that's the Vigilant Style (Oldham), Paranoid Personality (Millon) and 6w5 (Riso).
