: : Hello to the 5-community! I hope you will allow foreigners here!

: : I would think that every type has a different reason for pushing people away:

: : E3- To concentrate on the project or work. It is nice if time spent with people would serve a purpose such as better relations. If aimless idle chat is detected the 3 disappears. Another reason for pushing: Should
: : feelings and/or image, intimacy be questioned or demanded, the 3
: : withdraws. It is difficult to discuss some things. I have attended morning coffee/lunch time/tea get-togethers with girl friends only maybe 10 times in my life. But I extremely enjoy evening mixed events.

: : E4- Impulsivity plays a role. I have seen 4 friends open up one day and be sorry for it and push the next day. Also the 4 may suddenly decide that she does not like some thing about you and be very arrogant about it and not heed you.

: : E6- They are usually very friendly. They easily approach you. The ones who push you are the tense serious ones who do not know how to handle people

: : E1- Can be very aloof and distant. Could be that they do not want to be affected by others.

: : Any comments?

: --------------------------------------
: Yeah, way too narrowly stereotypical.

: Some sample scenarios (not applicable to all):

: E6: Can be suspicious of others, dedicated to a system of thought or worship, committed to a job or project, or feel like they've let down or are incompetent to those they are associated with. These will all lead to estrangement.

: E1: Could also be that they feel certain interactions wouldn't be prudent.

: E2: If in a counter-dependent mode will avoid anyone getting close to them so they can be the caretaker and be needed.

: E3: "I have no use for you, and you are of no use to me" attitude; Can be isolated when they feel they've failed or their "role" or "image" is deconstructed.
