Back to hell

Back to hell

A sixes worst nightmare is being abandoned and alone and
unable to make a firm and decisive decision. The kind of
hell and anxiety a six goes through may be incomprehensible
to other types. Even in say a calm social gathering. If
the six looks startled and anxious on the outside, their guts
are being wrenched inside. Its similar to being terrified by
a bully (albeit an invisble, nameless one) and you cannot take
any action. Does this sound like paranoia? It is!
It has nothing to do with self image or emotion (like a 4).
Thats why when someone can give the six a way out of the anxiety
they are forever grateful and show this by loyalty. The important
thing is not to become dependant, but interdependant.
A sixes saving grace is taking action, and a move to three is
not necessarily bad. MOving to nine is relaxing, but one truly
becomes lazy.

I've always had a hard time understanding the fixation of the one.
As I understand it ones are afraid of being critized and condemned
by a mean old man because their fathers rode their butts as children.
This is opposite six who identified with the father. ANy comments,
Ones?
