"seeking intimacy"

vs

"seeking adventure"

... really? The E7 fear is "not having your desires met." This is implying that all 7's don't seek intimacy. Sounds like a generalization.

Thanks for this. Was interesting to read. Quoting Nic since I mistyped as 2w3 for a short while.

I thought this one was odd. Yeah, I usually have more ups and downs throughout the day probably. I constantly get upset that I'm not experiencing life the way I want to, but I think 2s can carry a lot of emotion with them as well - especially when it comes to their relationships.

I might also be a bit more clingy than most 7s because I'm social-dom and 2-fixed. In my relationships I can be pretty clingy. Well, only with an SO really. I can go without texting my friends for a while.

Sounds about right though, from a general standpoint. [MENTION=10984]Azure Flame[/MENTION] is definitely right too though. Intimacy is one of my main goals when it comes to people.

sx e7 i think seeks adventure sometimes by means of intimacy or within the context of a relationship. i can see how an sx-last 7 (are there even such 7s?) might seek adventure in that way less.

i think 6-wing can make a 7 more relationship-focused too. at the end of the day though, sevens will always have that urge to run on to the next big thing in life.

right but E7's disintegrate into 1's which tells me they could potentially be really idealistic, and when they don't get it they start getting super critical and 1'ish. In the case of a relationship... they may want that perfect relationship. However that would most likely be the Sx/So 7.

yeah, i mean this was a pretty generalized list for sure. and the reason i posted them together is because even though i'm a core 7, i feel some 2-ish pulls sometimes. and a lot of these dichotomies resonated with me. i struggle with some of them, or can swing both ways at a given time.
