In reality, I have plenty of thoughts and feelings; I just prefer to consider all perspectives before making a decision. 🧘‍♂️💭 To navigate this, I've learned to assert myself more clearly when it matters and to communicate my needs without feeling guilty about disrupting the peace. 🗣️💪 It's all about balance!

Absolutely! 🙌 As a Type 5, the Investigator, I often feel misunderstood. People tend to think we're all about being cold and detached 🥶, but that's not the full picture.

One common misconception is that we don't care about emotions or relationships 💔. In reality, we do care deeply; we just express it differently. We might show love by sharing interesting facts or helping solve problems rather than through overt emotional displays. To navigate this, I try to communicate my feelings more openly and remind myself that vulnerability is a strength 💪❤️. Also, I make an effort to engage in social activities even when it feels draining because building connections is important. How about you?
