What the hysteroid type should strengthen

This is not a list of flaws — the strengths of the type are already there. What follows is what it usually lacks, and what can be built up with practice.

In short: being at ease about your looks · value in the work, not in the attention · shifting into quiet and going unnoticed · solitude and self-reflection · logic and level-headedness

Being at ease about your looks. The formula from the book: “I am beautiful enough, and there are people who like me.” Working on self-esteem frees you from depending on approval from outside and lowers anxiety.

Value in the work, not in the attention. Learning to find satisfaction in the activity itself, without drawing anyone else's attention to it. Then talents grow for the sake of the result, not for the sake of the applause.

Shifting into quiet and going unnoticed. Being able to switch easily from brilliance to going unnoticed — not losing yourself when the spotlight goes off. This is precisely the skill of switching, not a renunciation of brilliance.

Solitude and self-reflection. Spending time alone with yourself and your feelings without putting them on display. In that pause the feelings become clear to the person himself — a step towards inner growth.

Logic and level-headedness. Seeing the cause-and-effect links between your actions and their consequences. This gives you balanced decisions and a calm attitude towards responsibility and difficulty.
