Kingma, author of "Nine Types of Loves" analyzed nine types of ways people 'love':
Her list: E-Type Equivalent:
Attention-Seeker: 2
Emoter: 4
Cool Cucumber: 5
Skeptic: 6
Workaholic: 3
Perfectionist: 1
Fantasizer: 7
Controller: 8
People Pleaser: 9
Anyone else look at her book?
When I first read this, I thought I was the fantasizer, then the people pleaser, then the attention-seeker, but it was the emoter, the one who "lives in a donstant state of panic, emotional war zone, nonstop hysteria as the norm, body responding to unending fright by living in a heightened stat of flight or fight; heifhtened fight for survival is the only consistency in ther life; everythin is seen as a fight for survival, hysteria and choas is the norm; therefore, does not know/learn how to evaluate an appropriate emotional response"
