crisis.
A
JJ – A Jealous Judgmental person. So much internal self hate they can never be happy for anyone around them. Typically jealousy comes out as judgement. The Fibber – Whether it is little falsehoods or big lies. Dishonesty drains us, because we are always doubting what they say.
The Tank – crushes everything in its wake, always right, doesn’t take anyone else's ideas into consideration, constantly puts themselves first, very arrogant, thinks they are the smartest person in the room. Slide10
