SP/SX Subtype

Overview

 "To have an underdeveloped Social Instinct is to operate from a vague notion of the social architecture of interpersonal and group situations alike, so making efforts to connect or trying to participate in a social scene can seem taxing and lacking any clear benefit.Further, their underdeveloped relational style can undermine the aims of the Self-Preservation and Sexual Instincts.
In Self-Preservation, a lack of Social awareness limits access to the work one wants, opportunities for self-advancement, and partnerships that require extending oneself. For the Sexual Instinct, not only is a lack of Social skillfulness unattractive, but friends and allies are generally the ones who bridge us to the people and experiences that turn us on. "
