> Maybe they don't like the types they are "supposed" to integrate to because they hold characteristics that they think they can never have. Like, a 4 going to 1...I can't see myself being active and dedicated to a project and actually bringing it to completion time and time again as Ones do, so I envy them for that part of their type.
Envy...I hadn't thought of that. (Kudos for thinking something I haven't thought of!) But thinking about it, I have envied healthy 6s who have their own little groups that they "belong" to.
As a 3, I tend to be more concerned with impressing others than relating to them. Relating is scary, because it often shows that you are not the ideal person that you want everyone to think you are.
For the first time of my life, I found myself "belonging to" an organization, and that has brought me so much happiness. So as I read PT, it makes sense to me that I feel happy because I am beginning to integrate to 6.
