Would you consider someone to be a 7 if their usual solution to deal with harash blows to the ego is to run from pain, literally, physically to go somehwere else, to live life on the run? When it's blocked, and leaving is no longer an option, then the only other solution left is to live life on the run in your mind, your imagination. Because anything but the reality of the here is now in times under attack is better then feeling what one cannot control and does not want to feel, that is to feel worthless and helpless to do anything about painful, hurtful feelings of rejection out of your reach, beond our control. Taking off, leaving, moving, living life on the run, too fast to think about what just happened, is this the way of a seven? (If so, perhaps that's what I am.)
