I like the Mouse Potato!

Most people would say my friend Jonathan, a definate Five, is a generally nice guy. He has no reason to hate anybody, because he never gets involved with anybody. He has no reason to love anybody either.
He's apathy personified too. But on a deeper level, he just takes. He can't form normal relationships. He never misses anyone.

This Four shows her emotions, but many say they don't. When I was younger I didn't used to. The other Fours I know tend to drink a lot when they're troubled, but it's hard to tell with a Four because they are usually troubled. I've never known a time when I wasn't troubled.

"Reading the traits of the unhealthy nine didnt sound much like me.."

Aren't the following traits you cited as identifying with, unhealthy?!!

laziness, constant daydreaming, unsure of self, hating conflicts, routinizing (a horrendous sin to a Four).

I can't understand why people like to be on their own? Could you explain it to me a bit?

Tigs.
