Negative Impact:
Daydreaming, thinking about the future, idealistically so, evidently, occupies all their time.
Just think about it. You want them to do the chores around the house or they have a meeting in one hour, and they’re sitting in the armchair, staring into the void, being in their own worlds.
It’s annoying and irresponsible. They need to take control of their own lives, to be more receptive and aware of their surroundings. Listen, watch out for how others interact, observe the patterns, and simulate.
They will try to hide from other people, to nest away in a world of their own. No one has access there, so they’re safe with all their secrets and emotional vulnerabilities.
This is why they’re often known as being unpredictable and unorthodox because you just don’t know what to expect.
They do their thing without expecting others to agree, but the problem is the lack of logic or reason behind their actions. It’s just not there.
Just pure emotions, intuition, sensitive deductions, and subjective appreciations. Needless to say, these can lead to wrong ideas and mistakes.
