Inspired by the thread started a while ago about the stock Enneagram test question about "relating to broken and discarded things" (re type 4).
So my equivalent question for my fellow Ones is: Do you ever, in your darker moments of resentment and anger, feel like there's a metaphorical caged beast within you, insane with anger and just waiting to be let out - but that you keep locked inside because it seems too powerful and potentially hurtful to everyone around you? I feel this way on occasion, though I haven't really talked to anyone about it.
Posting this is kind of a shot in the dark, but it would make sense if other people felt the same way; after all, it seems very One-ish, and like a manifestation of an extreme need for self-control. It also relates, I think, to gaining type 4 traits under stress - especially since, as I was typing the question, I seriously felt that I couldn't possibly express the depth of feeling I associate with the concept, and I got concerned that people would take the question too lightly.
I wonder if it also relates at all to MBTI, also, since Te doms have a reputation for being aggressive.
So... thoughts?
