Hello 1s,
I took a break from this place in order to take some time to figure things out. I was debating between types 6 and 1, and for me, there was a very fine line between the two.
Because I believed I was a 6 for so long, I posted a number of things in the type 6 forum. Here is the link, for those who are interested:

I think the reason it was such a struggle is that I am a perfectionist, and have been in serious denial as to how much perfectionism was impacting me. I know very well that I set ridiculously high standards for myself. Being a truth seeker, I am open to new perspectives, as they may help me to understand my own views better. The problem is, I am a type 1 under stress. I come across as an unhealthy manifestation of a type 4 (healthy 4s are awesome! Hey, my heart fix is 4).
So yes, I feel like I've finally figured things out. And I have a sense of peace that I didn't have when I believed I was a 6, so maybe that answers something as well.
