This withdrawal from others is born from vulnerability and a feeling of inadequacy. Possessing a polar juxtaposition of believing they have unique and special talents, they also are intensely aware of their distinct shortcomings. This often leads to a feeling of distain for and exemption from ordinary ways of life, which results yet again in them turning away from others. Despite this detached attitude, Individualists want to connect with others. They don’t want to be alone but when people continually fail to provide the understanding and love this temperament desires, they may don a suffering victim persona in which they insist everything be done their way and on their terms. This often further alienates Individualists, perpetuating their feelings of being different. During different times of their lives, Individualists may ‘try on’ different identities in an attempt to discover themselves. They look for traits they find attractive in others as well as how they feel about those qualities. With a goal of developing an identity founded on stability and reliability, they disregard unwanted emotions for those they desire in determining “who they are.” Because the identities are essentially forced rather authentic, they never really fit. And so the Individualist will discard one in search of another and another. One of the key things Individualists struggle with is letting go of past feelings. When feeling lesser than or vulnerable, they repeatedly lick their wounds and harbor grudges against those who’ve hurt them. Their deep-seated feelings of pain, longing and disappointment frequently cast a shadow over their ability to see all that they do have in life.
