𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐕𝐋𝐅𝐄 [1/8] Here are a list of quotes from the SP7 part from the E7 book 'Golosos'. (I must also say that I did not Include quotes from the interviewed people, and that I included quotes that are only in the spanish book). “It shows greater adherence to desires than the other subtypes and, being Conservational, to specific needs.”(Against 4V) “He is often the leader of the pack and becomes the protector of his family or clan or affinity group, which represents a passion: a passion of involvement, of complicity beyond norms and morals. In this case, he shows great generosity and is very affectionate, defending the members within him. Naturally all of these are forms of manipulation to obtain one's own recognition in return.” (1V) “Added to the stories of abandonment are childhood deprivations; sometimes, having to improvise to survive in a suffocating environment that does not allow the physical or intellectual expansion of children. There is a suffering, therefore, related to material scarcity, and another comes from a scarcity of love and parental attention, which is displaced towards that experience of hardship. It is not surprising, then, that E7 conservation is someone in whom the biting instinct develops early, as if he soon came to the conclusion that, if he does not personally take care of feeding himself, no one will do it for him.” (1V3F). “The belief that the world is a dangerous place, the feeling of being constantly "in danger of extinction", of perpetual threat, more or less unconscious, to conservation, leads him to think, as a reaction of self-protection, that through their intelligence and planning ability can resolve things at your convenience, take advantage, organize the world around you to put the wind in your favor and alter unfavorable starting conditions.” (1V3F, confidence in own abilities to cope with lacks in the physical aspects). “His desires are pantagruelian and he will surround himself with luxuries, favors and graces, houris of paradise, beauty and nectars. And in the same way he will imagine himself elevated to the category of aristocrat, trusted advisor, advisor to the kingdom or unexpected heir to a fortune..”(1V grandeur fantasies). “Surely it can also be said that the E7 conservation pampers itself more. He always has his feet on the ground, he doesn't evade so much into fantasy. The result is that you often feel entitled to gratification. Without God, Karma or law, without so much tendency towards idealizing fantasies, who is going to be able to stop it? His gluttony dominates him, in the sense that he lives in a compulsive search for refuge in pleasure, as an antidote to greater contact with anxiety. (1V. This is literally justifying oneself to whatever one wants). If the E6 conservation lives traumatized by the conviction that it lacks the resources to master the unforeseen, with the consequent paralysis in action, the E7 conservation, on the other hand, lives accommodated in the narcissistic idea that it is a born generator of resources and well-being . Something that hides, in fact and opportunely, the other extreme of polarity: the ancient intimate sensation of emptiness, of misery or vital scarcity, from which one flees like the plague. (1V3F. Its like SP6(3F as well, but 4V instead of 1V) Let's remember that SP7 focuses on covering the lack of physical aspects it lack in it's childhood). "Your passion for inclusion is a passion for being recognized even if you don't deserve it. Not in vain, the Conservation Seven is a narcissist with a strong, more or less strategic will to be taken into account: at all parties, at all dances, in all clubs. And naturally, as a special guest. Well, we are talking about a passion to be taken into account not as one more, but as an important person, based on self-granted rights due to his condition as an intelligent person. He usually suffers, therefore, from a strong entitlement: a feeling of entitlement to talent, superiority, and he does not just want to be listened to, recognized as someone who "knows", but expects admiration." (1V) "Regarding permissiveness, it can be said that it not only describes a trait of the individual in relation to himself, but also a characteristic laissez faire attitude towards others. When gluttons seductively agree with the vices of others, this permissiveness even becomes complicity." (1V. In case you don't know what laissez-faire means, it is the policy which is based on the idea that governments and the law should not interfere with business, finance, or the conditions of people's working lives.) "Paradise, the false paradise, seems to be truncated, broken (separation, abandonment, trauma...), and we are left with the idea that that was a lie... Then, everything is a lie... Ergo I can do whatever the hell I want. win because there is no law: anything goes." (1V. Another self justification to do whatever one wants).
