Heart types and treating emotions as reality
I have recently learned that my sister is very likely a 4 (I considered 9 but I don’t really think so anymore). So, I was thinking about her behavior in the context of trying to understand heart types. Is it a fair assumption to say that heart types tend to take their emotions/pain as reality?
Perhaps this is a 4 or BPD specific thing, but she seems to believe that when she feels hurt, it is all the fault of others because her emotional pain is truth. She doesn’t seem to understand that unfortunate circumstances, it being partially her fault, and that people end up hurting each other without malicious intentions are possible explanations. I could also see a similar pattern happening in 2s, possibly 3s as well.
This made me wonder if a general projection of one’s emotional experience onto others is a common pattern with heart types.
