uh uh uh uh well I'm nice I do value logic most of the time over emotions. I believe it's not what I want or need, it's what the world wants or needs. Me I don't matter in the big scheme of things. As a result people sometimes takes advantage of me. My emotions while I have them I don't like to act on unless I have proof that they make sense. I'm quiet, I do have a nice dispostion, I hide my emotions easily. I fear if I become an idiot no one will like me anymore, but same thing if I become fat. I have a way of letting people think they know me and are close to me, when they actually know very little, People tend to open up to me, because I don't judge and I listen. is that good. I have a very dry sense of humor that only the people closest to me see. I hate school, but love learning anything I can get my hands on. I get anxious and nervous and general don't trust new people.
Sounds 5 to me. I see both wings.

•There is a deeply felt abandonment that translates into a belief that "I am fatally flawed."
