-Attent/Self/+Attach/+Emo/+<3/Broad/Insecure

Your Bonding Quadrant: Merging

Summary: You tend to live in your own head and do not get too invested in the details of others' lives(yeah :( I used to, but I dont think theres a point to it anymore), but you do like to have many close, intense relationships—especially sexual/romantic ones. This habit of collecting relationships may be an attempt to fight your own desperate emotional poverty. Although you enjoy alone time in moderation, you are likely to fear loneliness. Your type is known to dramatically announce the start of a relationship sabbatical ("so I can work on myself"), only to fuck a random loser the next day.(nope.)

The Mixed Signal
-Attent/Other/+Attach/+Emo/+<3/Broad/Insecure

Summary: You can do without much acknowledgment and recognition, and you enjoy spending time alone. Nevertheless, you like to have close, intense relationships—especially sexual/romantic ones—with many different people (maybe just to know that you can). You probably fear abandonment.

The Ringing Phone
+Attent/Other/+Attach/+Emo/+<3/Broad/Insecure

You scored 51% Attention-desiring, 90% Other-directedness, 85% Attachment-desiring, 65% Emotionality, 93% Romance-seeking, 52% Range, and 44% Secureness.

Your Bonding Quadrant: Merging

Summary: Your identity comes from other people, i.e., you latch onto them in order to escape the lameness and/or existential hell of being you. You are likely to seek out many romantic/sexual partners, possibly at the same time or one right after another. The possibility of abandonment worries you.

This doesn't sound entirely positive..but I'd be lying if I said I thought it wasn't accurate, haha.

I was looking at some of the other profiles.. I think the person I currently am interested in is a Violet.

The Happy Hermit
-Attent/Self/-Attach/-Emo/-<3/Narrow/Secure

You scored 18% Attention-desiring, 16% Other-directedness, 42% Attachment-desiring, 41% Emotionality, 43% Romance-seeking, 10% Range, and 63% Secureness.

Your Bonding Quadrant: Distant

Summary: You tend to live in your own head and not care much for others. You don't get too close, nor do you put much effort (if any) into keeping particular people in your life. Socializing is a very low priority for you, if not a complete pain in the ass. Your type is prone to species dysphoria and psychopathy.

Sounds about right. Lonely can be sweet.

The Un-validated Self

Your Bonding Quadrant: Merging

Summary: You crave regular interaction and like to keep the focus on others. It is likely that you have felt left out for much of your life, and you are the happiest with yourself and your life when you have close, intense friendships. You tend to get attached to those who give you attention (who, from the sound of it, are probably few and far between). You are likely to be shy.

Indeed. Reading your summary made me cringe, it sounds too clingy for my tastes and suffocating. I'm sure mine feels the same to you.
