I'm an INTJ...apparently if enough of us got together, we could take over and rule the world. It's probably a good thing we're the rarest of the Myers-Briggs types.
I'm INFJ, and I was told '
we' were the rarest types*. Good thing, too, if 'we're' all like me.
Not that Hannelore's reaction isn't understandable, but I think she's showing her OWN naivete there, and I disagree with whoever's saying the outburst is what Marigold needs.
I don't know that Marigold needs being yelled at, but I, as I said, I understand Hanners' impulse to yell. And if that yelling is what helps her stay in the room, then it's needed, as I'm very afraid Marigold will, left unattended, never come out again, figuratively speaking, of course (I hope). Sitting with her, taking care of her, yelling at her, all of it's attention. Alone time, in my experience, works better for someone who is normally social, but has to take a break to get him/herself together. This isn't such a situation; Marigold seems more likely to use that kind of time to yank her hole in after her.
I agree that he doesn't see her as such, but I would figure that a good part of that is because she's been so reserved and shy. And I certainly can see why when she threw herself at him that his reaction (other than 'Woo! Boobs!') was to say no: his reaction was to force himself not to do something he'd regret by processing as he always has. I would hope that after reflection he'd see the potential. I doubt that's what will happen, though.
Probably not. You likely know this (but here goes anyway); most people tend to 'slot' other individuals early on, and it too often takes tantamount to an act of god to get them to re-think such characterizations, partly because the brain, it is lazy. And Angus, he's a good guy, but the reflective sort, he isn't. Then again, it would be an *ahem* interesting (in the fake Chinese sense) turn of events if these happenings
did change Angus' way of thinking—for Faye, anyway.
But Marigold is going to have to be much more outgoing, I suspect, to be attractive to Angus. He may say 'witty banter' is what draws him, but what I'm really getting is that the strength/confidence/etc. such banter implies (on a surface level, anyway—god knows it's not actually true of Faye, although she's getting better) is what he likes. Marigold isn't really there yet, and may never be. Not everyone is, which is a good thing, I think.
Viva la difference!And last, but not least, I'll say it again: when it comes to romance, how many people get it right the first time? It would be nice, I suppose, but it rarely happens. Such is life in "Arda marred." (Drat Melkor, anyway.)
I don't know if turning into you would be a bad thing... you at least have good taste in avatars.
The tiny detractor in my head wants some words with you.

anything to get you to… you know… take more tests. And I thought it all meant something.
