Intuitive, creative, & emotionally overwhelming

At your best: Collaborative, boundaried, creative

At your worst: Over-emotional, manipulative, needy

Under stress: Gets rigid and reactive

Overview:

You feel things intensely and express before processing. Your emotional world feels real when witnessed.

When you're at your best: You're authentically expressive and deeply intuitive, creating genuine intimacy through balanced emotional presence.

When anxiety takes over: You flood yourself and others with emotion. You can use sensitivity as subtle control, or be needy.

What this looks like:

Personal growth: Create space between feeling and expressing. Communicate needs directly instead of through emotional intensity. Move from overwhelm to balanced expression.
