Hello 4s,
I am a 1, but have 4 in my tritype. I am looking to understand my heart fix better and who better to ask than Type 4s?:happy: So, I have a question about the nature of type 4 jealousy. One statement I heard about 4s is that they feel defective because they don't know what's missing from their lives, and hence, they feel envy. The idea of, "Everyone else has it together. I don't. I wish I knew what was missing." Is it really possible not to know? And if you find out eventually why it is you feel so bad (eg. "I know what's missing now, it's xyz"), does that mean you were never a 4?
Another stereotype I have heard about 4s is that 4s believe that negative emotions are beautiful- especially depression/sadness. Do you guys find that is the case with you, or do you think that this statement is mostly a stereotype. I can see negative emotions being useful if you are aware of them, and you learn life lessons from them. That said, I think depression is ugly, as it literally destroys lives. So, for some of you guys, is it a matter of re-framing negative emotions? Or do you like to indulge in them endlessly?
Looking forward to hearing back from you guys.
