Intuitive, creative, & emotionally avoidant

At your best: Open, present, grounded

At your worst: Passive, withholding, insecure

Under stress: Gets small and hides away

Overview

You process everything internally first. Your inner world feels safer than risking being truly seen, so you keep your depth to yourself.

When you're at your best: You're courageously open and deeply receptive, building genuine intimacy without losing yourself.

When anxiety takes over: You withdraw, either positioning yourself as more emotionally evolved (using depth as a shield) or becoming overly dependent and deferring decisions to avoid responsibility.

What this looks like?

• Having deep insights but struggling to externalize them
• Thinking "if they really understood me, I wouldn't have to explain"
• Withdrawing when relationships feel intense

Personal growth

Share your inner world before it's fully processed. Stay open even when it's messy. Communicate directly instead of hoping others will intuit your needs.
