Where also the idea of "blame." In this thread I have been trying to provide what might be reasons (not excuses) for certain actions - not blame. What I was trying to point out with the majority/minority thing is that much of a person's ways of behaving can be influenced by this dynamic, on micro and macro levels. Take for example an introverted 5 in a family of strong extroverts. Without an awareness of these differeces the young 5 may never feel that they get the space they need - something they will ALWAYS, no matter how healthy they are, need more of than an extrovert. This lack of a good amount of space for them can create an increased desire to pull away more, thus to get to the point of thier introversion being a real hinderance. : Game? I'm not playing a game with you. : Why might you blame the outside world (the majority) for an undeveloped personal communication and awareness skills? Are not adaptation and flexibility 2 prime components of social interaction? : Dave
