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?
