This video clip on Type 6 from understandingpersonality.com suggests that life, for 6s, is akin to being trapped in an endless Halloween scene–or a scary fairy tale with no happy ending in sight.
It’s hard to feel safe when the witches and goblins are always after you. The deer-in-the-headlights expression on this 6‘s face below says it all.
The comments definitely have a theme. Here are three statements from three different participants:
…a constant checking for what’s going on
…you’re always watching your back
…it’s all about staying safe
Maybe 6s should come equipped with eyes in the backs of their heads.
Life with my six friends is like, “ok…today he’s suspicious, and I’m the gobblin.” I see it and know it’s an anxiety swing. In the past, I have been direct in a critical sense just so the E-6 will feel “more at ease”. THEN they believe me and suspicion in general subsides. It can be tiring. 😉
I have be some so aware of how I have habituated my worry. It’s like at the end of the day I sit down, kick my shoes off and instead of having a glass of wine I sigh and think : What shall I worry about?”
My boyfriend is an 8 and I still have not gotten him to full understand the depth of relief I am feeling when I tell him “You make me feel safe.”
