but this is one question that almost everyone asks me in session during their time with me.
Why don’t they like me?
Rejection
We work with 5 different temperaments and thousands of various blends of temperaments.
Each temperament processes rejection differently, so the approach to temperament varies with each individual.
So what does all this mean?…
When a human being faces rejection the first thing that comes to their mind is “what did I do wrong”?
Rejection is painful and it can cause negative reactions in people of varying degrees.
A Melancholy will tend to react to rejection by attempting to get even, or exhibiting anger in various ways.
A Sanguine will tend to swing down into a deep dark dependent mode. They will become depressed and angry.
When a Supine is rejected their loved ones will never know it. This is because I supine will never show the pains of rejection.
A Choleric May show the pains of rejection by being Very controlling till their loved ones.
A Phlegmatic may show the pains of rejection but you will not see very much of it since they have low emotional energy
