MONK (Monk)
Type overview
I simply do not have those worldly urges.
MONK protects personal space like sacred ground. You are not cold. You are just unwilling to let every passing person set up camp inside your inner life. Solitude does not scare you; it restores your operating system. In your worldview, distance is not always rejection. Sometimes it is the exact structure that allows things to stay clean, balanced, and real.
