The reason for the Dog Thinker’s stress, and why the Cat Thinkers feel rarely stressed

the Dog Thinker are always worried about their survival alone. They want to secure a relationship to ensure survival, and to the Dog Thinker, a spouse with life insurance is actually a consoling thought. An the Cat Thinkers doesn’t feel consoled by the thought their partner has life insurance, quite the opposite, they view it as an INSULT to the sorrow they’d feel for their spouse. They will only ever take one with a feeling of “well it’s sensible”, without it giving them any relief in the grief they’d feel upon a spouses’ passing. I can easily imagine the Dog Thinker widower to be grinning a little at the spouses’ funeral if he or she had good life insurance. THAT is the Dog Thinker’s concern and happiness, is there, was there someone who worried about their survival?

And this leads us to the Dog Thinker stress levels. They want to know they are safe enough and are their family members satisfied they’ve done enough for the family’s SAFETY. An the Cat Thinkers isn’t the least bit concerned about safety, apart from the safety of their adolescent children, but they won’t even THINK ABOUT worrying about an adult’s survival, not their own or their loved one’s. They are concerned about happiness, and whether a person has done ANYTHING measurable for the good of the community. However, they know being helpful to the level of being remembered for their contribution to humanity is such a high achievement that they don’t STRESS about reaching that level. They WISH TO, they’ll TRY, but they don’t worry too much about reaching such honors. They feel shame ONLY IF someone demonstrates to them what they COULD HAVE DONE for society if they had thought about it.

the Cat Thinkers wish to leave a legacy

the Dog Thinker use up all their resources in saving face in front of their friends. They fear their family is ashamed of them if they don’t do well enough in life. They work tirelessly to ensure they don’t put their family in shame, and they are ashamed of poverty. The Cat Thinkers are never ashamed of being poor, they are more likely to be ashamed of riches they acquired too easily than being ashamed of poverty. If they are poor, they feel they are not taking anything form other people, and that’s OK. What they may feel ashamed of, is that the poverty they are facing means nobody appreciates their effort enough to pay them for it. That their contribution isn’t enough to make them worth keeping alive. THAT is a face-loosing feeling to a Cat Thinkers… But nothing stop them from TRYING to become important enough to be worth keeping alive – except death… And then they’ve tried their hardest, so… all’s well in a sense.

the Cat Thinkers work toward leaving a legacy behind. Their hope is to have lived a life of meaning to others. They wish their lives has made the world a better place, and they quietly judge the Dog Thinker who go through such an effort to make NO DIFFERENCE TO ANYONE at all. A the Dog Thinker will proudly display a handbag or a purse as a sign of their achievement, without EVER having the good sense to opening up to give to charity. The most DESPICABLE form of human life a Cat Thinkers can think of. Still, if a Cat Thinkers would think of the recipients of charity as the Dog Thinker, their wish to give would diminish quite drastically… But that’s another post there. (the Cat Thinkers should never care for anyone except another the Cat Thinkers. ESPECIALLY if the Dog Thinker is family.)

An the Cat Thinkers wishes, if nothing else, to leave behind something that will benefit their community, the Dog Thinker leveling up might actually try and build something for their family to be proud of after they’re gone.

the Dog Thinker’s are all about personal clout

the Dog Thinker worry about the way people view them in the current time. They may pride themselves for being modern or whatever is fashionable. Their focus is on things that is being advertised to them, what the Woman’s Weekly deems is currently the thing to be. They are the picture of woke feminism and the shallow display of philosophical values they obey simply for personal clout. They are EVERYTHING the Cat Thinkers despise… And they don’t care. They keep doing what they’re doing because if they don’t, another the Dog Thinker will think they’re not doing it right.

A the Dog Thinker who is married will again worry about clout, but the demands will be different. Then it’s about well-dressed children, displaying themselves as an involved mother and a father who provides. Clout, clout, clout, clout. They worry only about not being thought of as being less achieved than their friends – but to be a good person they don’t want to raise the bar too high for others, because they want EVERYONE to be able to reach this level of shallow achievement so they can be friends.

They hate the Cat Thinkers for raising a bar – because a Cat Thinkers likes to rise their OWN bar. They are not happy simply being the same as everybody else (race to the starting line) they actually want to DO SOMETHING not for admiration, but for personal challenge.

An the Cat Thinkers banks for the immortal soul

The the Dog Thinker is never concerned about LEARNING more than is necessary to reach the status quo with their personal friends. An the Cat Thinkers has an instinctive need to improve themselves and help others to improve themselves – to make them more competitive in the immortal long run. They respect those who do the same. They don’t feel COMPETITIVE at all, in terms of who does the best work, but they do, TRULY compete against themselves. They always want to be better than what they were before, and thus they are not threatened by others who do a lot of impressive things. They only feel shame when they know they COULD HAVE done more if they had thought of it, but rejoice in the opportunity to step up and level up.

the Dog Thinker competitiveness between friends

A the Dog Thinker at ANY AGE is ANNOYED by a request to level up. To them, they’re DOING FINE if they’re doing as well as their friends. They HATE a try-hard friend who puts their group into disarray when they don’t know how to reach the demanded level of the highest achiever in the group. The least they expect from a person who wants to level up is to provide his or her friends a fake role in an organization to make them LOOK LIKE they are equal, because the Dog Thinker is ashamed of not reaching the standards of their friends, and even more so to be dropped out of a group completely.

An the Cat Thinkers should, at any age, avoid making friends with the Dog Thinker, but obviously, it’s difficult to get this message through to a child the Cat Thinkers, when identifying the Dog Thinker is difficult even as an adult. An the Cat Thinkers parent should, certainly, encourage a Cat Thinkers child to not make friends with children who they don’t like or admire, and teach them strategies to tolerate being alone if needed.

The biggest danger to a highly capable the Cat Thinkers child during school years (apart from being shot in an American school (foreigners think you people are idiots allowing guns to be bought so easily)) is to develop a lifelong friendship with the Dog Thinker with an average or low IQ. A wise parent might want to prepare for a future where the Cat Thinkers child needs to drop this friend but does wisely not to FORCE matters, because a Cat Thinkers child is an idealist and won’t drop a needy friend easily, definitely not under pressure. A good way to alienate the Cat Thinkers child from the Dog Thinker friend is to buy him or her stuff the Dog Thinker child would be jealous of and unable to have their parents provide for them. Soon, the Dog Thinker will show their true colors that a Cat Thinkers child will object to. (Find out what the Dog Thinker child wants for Christmas, and buy that for YOUR child whether he wants it or not. And then advise them that they can SHARE it with their friend but NOT GIVE it to them.)

the Dog Thinker fear a life without a click

the Dog Thinker are stressed without a good support group of friends and family. They rarely make REAL friends, because they are not mature enough as souls to actually WAIT for REAL FRIENDS. They are so focused on clout, that they will only seek for TOKEN friends, people to make them LOOK connected (as in, not an easy target). Often, the closest thing to a friend they know is a selfless and idealistic the Cat Thinkers, whom they will eventually try to abuse.

the Dog Thinker can ONLY make real friends when forced into a company with other the Dog Thinker. They’ll squabble for a while until they finally agree that all this competition is futile, we all love each other and everything is fine. But it is important there are NO the Cat Thinkers in this group. For the Dog Thinker to actually make real friends, they MUST be free of the Cat Thinkers, and for the Cat Thinkers to make real friends, they must be free of the Dog Thinker.

A the Dog Thinker needs REAL friends to feel secure and stress-free. An the Cat Thinkers isn’t particularly stressed at any stage of their lives, but they do need real friends to be happy, too.

the Dog Thinker will always try to demonstrate how they are WORTHY OF FRIENDS by building themselves clout, whereas a Cat Thinkers doesn’t view friendship in the same manner. They figure EVERYONE is worthy of having friends, just a question of WHO that friend is. An the Cat Thinkers also knows a real friend at first glance, but the Dog Thinker don’t have that ability. They can take years to develop the trust required between friends, but the Cat Thinkers can keep friends to who they don’t truly feel a connection to – they’ll settle for company when they can’t see a real friendship happening. They are not afraid of being friendly with non-friends, but they probably should be.

the Dog Thinker stress: I am worthy of friends, I’m worthy of having friends..!

The the Dog Thinker stress levels in a normal society in terms of finding friends to rely on is about the same as a Cat Thinkers would feel during a zombie apocalypse. Even then, the Cat Thinkers would be very selective of the friends they make and would still feel responsible for protecting strangers, whereas the Dog Thinker would be shaking, needy, useless, and suspicious of others, and easy to scare into changing alliances…. And into keeping them, too.

the Dog Thinker need to know what they need to demonstrate in order to be regarded as a friend worth having. A zombie apocalypse is a good way of thinking about it because whether you have the right fashion in a zombie apocalypse or not is probably obviously useless even for the Dog Thinker. I could easily imagine a former fashion guru clutching onto their designer items trying to prove themselves worthy of rescue while being eaten up by a pack of zombies… but…. In a zombie apocalypse, it would be EASIER to teach the Dog Thinker what makes for a real friend.

the Dog Thinker will find a way to click, but they need to be left to their own vices to do it. They’ll find the things that are important to them as a group, but the Cat Thinkers need to stay the heck out of it. But the Dog Thinker are SO DESPERATE for friends, that they are sometimes impossible to drop if they feel they have NOBODY to rely on. An the Cat Thinkers that needs to get rid of the Dog Thinker will do wisely to coax them into a new group of friends… For instance thinking up something that they figure the Dog Thinker would be good at, then insisting they take classes or start a hobby together, but not show up half the time. (Don’t agree to share a ride!) So first, the Cat Thinkers needs to take their the Dog Thinker friend to a group that they’ll be TERRIFIED to join, accompany them for long enough to them start making friends, then start flaking until they are being told: “you’re not really committed and should PROBABLY QUIT!”
