Gee, as a seven I'm interested in alot of things, havign fun, and keeping things light. I don't have time to to get bogged down in navel gazing and comtemplation on things which go nowhere. What's wrong with that? I'm the first to keep a party going and don't wait for someone else to entertain me. Who have you been hanging out with? Sounds like yourself mostly.
> I find Sevens to be too disheartening.
> This "what's next" attitude like I'm supposed to provide them entertainment is something I can do without.
> This attitude they get serves to only set you up for a fall, pretty soon they used you all up and now look at you as if you have nothing left worthwhile for them to use up so they see you as no good anymore.
> That is a very sad and not healthy attitude, that I certainly recommend those interested in maintaining their well-being stay far away from.
> No one needs to be treated and used up in such a horribly inhumane way.
> Like we're production machine that exist to come up with constant new sources of entertainment and fun diversions.
> If the Sevens in people want the 'constant source of never-ending stimulations and fun and diversions' to 'entertein' THEM, as if they were not responsible for entertaining (containing) their OWN peace of mind, then they can go "get" it from THEIRSELF, if they want it so bad, and since no one they meet, including significant others, seems to be 'good enough' or 'entertaining' enough to meet their IMPOSSIBLE standards that don't exist in REAL life.
> I call for all Sevens' to come back down to the planet earth, to real life, and realize that all life is not fun and games and diversions, but consists of putting THEMSELVES on the spot, making THEMSELVES responsible for 'entertaining' THEMSELVES, for making THEMSELVES responible to make THEMSELVES happy, instead of expecting Others to do it, instead of shifting the responsibility of keeping them 'satisfied' and 'occupied' unto other people, as if other people actually "OWE" them to be responsible for the seven's own 'entertain me' liability problem.
> Sevens longing quest for 'what's next' is a liability problem THEY created FROM THEMSELVES that they then unfairly and unwarrantly shift onto others as if other people were even interested in meeting the seven's selfish needs for nothing in return.
> I say this to all those who struggle with Seven's "what's next":
> Why don't YOU DO IT!!! YOU make 'what's next'!! Stop asking us. We're not the ones who 'need' it. We're not the ones who ask for it. So stop trying to shift your problem onto us. Go solve it yourself.
> That hopefully will sober them up as they realize that in real life they can't get the best of all worlds without a price, and they must be forced to make decisions between more than one choice, which closes off their options, which brings them closer to narrowing/deciding which path God wants them on.
