Character
You notice first who is being left out and make a place for them. You look after people in ways that actually help, and you take satisfaction in doing things together. Your mood, though, moves with how you are regarded.
Strengths
Warmth, practical care, collaboration. The person who makes a team feel like one.
What to Watch
Matching other people's expectations costs you your own standard. Criticism is easy to take personally.
Best Matches
Works well with ISFP and ISTP. Their plainness gives you room to breathe.
In a relationship
You attend to detail and make the other person comfortable. That also makes it easy to measure your worth by their reaction, and that is where the tiredness comes from.
Strengths and the right setting
You work as the lubricant of a team. A workplace where you can see people's faces gets more from you than one that is only figures.
Distance with people
Trying to satisfy everyone empties you out. Consider that on some days satisfying two people is enough.
Advice
You do not have to satisfy everyone. Some days satisfying two people is enough.
