What this type means
You read most friction around intimacy bids — closeness that feels too much or too little. Often points to attachment-system patterns worth examining.
In relationships
You're calibrated to a specific intimacy zone. People who push past it (clingy) or stay too far (distant) both create friction.
Watch for
Your zone is partly attachment style. Worth examining whether you're reading other people's closeness as wrong or whether you're defending an old wound.
The growth edge
Map your zone consciously. When someone violates it, name it: "I noticed I want a bit more space here." Naming reduces the friction; suppressing escalates it.
