Description
Main Essence
A profoundly reserved and emotionally restrained individual who values solitude and independence above all. Highly individualistic with minimal social needs - indifferent to collective judgments and psychologically independent from group dynamics. Maintains significant distance in all interactions and quickly fatigues from social engagement.
Patient and composed, nearly impossible to provoke. Approaches situations deliberately and calmly, preferring observation and careful thought over impulsive action. Fascinated by slow, evolving processes. Frugal and calculating with money, avoiding risks and taking on only ventures with reliable outcomes.
However, experiences life as emotionally muted and often mundane. Struggles to feel intense joy or pleasure, with emotional world appearing flat and unexpressive. Minimal outward emotional display in voice, face, or gestures. Withdrawn from others' emotional experiences - unable to share their moods or provide uplift. Highly distrustful and cynical, expecting betrayal rather than assistance. Sarcastic in response to emotional appeals.
Dislikes physical contact and feels uncomfortable when attention is drawn to him. Awkward in social initiations. Prefers listening over speaking, rarely sharing personal viewpoints. Unwelcoming and asocial, avoiding situations requiring emotional engagement.
Conserves energy carefully in both physical and emotional domains. Low vitality with preference for stillness over movement. Inattentive to personal appearance and visual details. Lives by philosophy of minimal effort for maximum results, prone to procrastination when work lacks interest.
Rational and calculating in approach. Dislikes emotional intensity and being disturbed during peaceful states. Suited for roles requiring detached evaluation.
