I just am a little bit curious about why sx-blinds sometimes become sad after finding out their stacking. What is it about knowing that you are blind to sx that makes you sad?

A lot of people begin to assume that they will be forever alone because they lack sx (which doesn't make a huge amount of sense to me because the majority people are sx-blind) and that they won't have fulfilling relationships (which again doesn't make a huge amount of sense because awareness to sx makes that more ultimately clear). I am truly just curious because reactions to this blindspot tend to be the most disheartening. And I understand it on a superficial level, but would you be aware of your lack in this domain if you never came across the enneagram theory?

Additionally, I know that some people are perfectly content in finding out they're sx-blind. They seem be more flippant about the fact, already aware that they don't value sx. If you would be in that camp, you can also share your thoughts.

[I was just pondering this because I know I do have a bias in trying to understand, because like a good contraflow, some days I would rather be without my auxiliary instinct. Also, some of my curiosity stems from growing up alongside many sp/so individuals and still not completely understanding their focuses..]
