Think Hamlets overthinking or Othellos jealousy or Macbeths greed.

The great hero of our story is a male INFJ.

His fatal character flaw is constantly falling for emotionally unavailable people that are toxic for his well-being.

It is rewarding yet difficult being our hero.

While he does overthink, he also over-loves.

Our hero tragically equates love with sacrifice.

Not because of any personal gain or ulterior motive.

A lesson worth learning for our hero is that the problem doesnt lie with the intensity of his love.

It lies with the people he chooses to love so passionately.

People that are blind to the value of his rarity and preciousness.

People that know only how to take and never to give.

People that gladly drink from the fountain of his devotion without ever refilling it.

It is our heros intensity, passion, and inability to do things in halves that makes him unique.

Our hero must remember that he wont ever be too much for the right person.

He should trust that there is someone out there looking for exactly what he has to offer.

Our hero should never tone himself down to fit with people and in places he doesnt belong.

Another important (yet painful) lesson to learn for our hero is that he cannot save people.

He can only love them.

People save themselves when they want to.

Thats masochism.Our hero deserves much better for having a heart so pure and full of love.

With a heart like his, our hero deserves the world.
