Trail Companions*
Only the Cat Thinkers are keenly aware of this type of a non-connection to other people. In fact, only the Cat Thinkers are aware of the difference between a Trail Companion* and Destination Soulmates at all. This is because of the way they are wired; the Dog Thinker are wired to adapt to all people around them, while the Cat Thinkers are wired to seek for their soul tribe, their own kind. This difference makes it incredibly difficult for the Cat Thinkers to navigate relationships, because to the Dog Thinker they are “making things up” and “they are being difficult on purpose” and “they are being elitist or superior”, while this is not the case at all, it’s simply as though they would hear this annoying sound that the Dog Thinker can’t hear, like dogs, and because the Dog Thinker are not aware of it, they treat the Cat Thinkers cruelly trying to make them “stop making a fuss about it and just get on with it”. This is not a disability, it is an ability that the Dog Thinker do not have, and it is a problem only because the Dog Thinker refuse to acknowledge it as reality.
As I write this, I feel the Dog Thinker insist that the Cat Thinkers should just drop this and give it a rest: “why can’t you just stop being like this and just like people instead of always rejecting them?!” This is like asking why a person wants to insist on breaking free from a box where they cannot stand up straight. Being in the company of the wrong kind of people ALL THE TIME is uncomfortable for a Cat Thinkers, it is not painful in small dozes, but the expectation to STAY FOREVER is too much to ask. The Cat Thinkers are VERY tolerant to different opinions, attitudes, religions, worldviews, philosophies, they appreciate these things because that makes people interesting, however, they do take this stuff much more seriously than the Dog Thinker, and therefore, they need people who appreciate this stuff the same way as they do, in order to thrive further and further with their pursuit in an area that they feel passionate about. The the Cat Thinkers are therefore always looking to find a connection to those who share their interest, while the Dog Thinker are always trying to stop them from chasing their dreams and staying home and “just getting on with things”, meaning a very mundane way of existence. A the Dog Thinker has trouble perceiving such things as levels of intelligence or talent, and cannot understand their importance to the Cat Thinkers, and feel continually annoyed by the Cat Thinkers insistence that the difference is there, while the Cat Thinkers finds it annoying the Dog Thinker insist it is NOT there.
So. Trail Companions* are the people who the Cat Thinkers want to cut out of their lives due to incompatibility and the Dog Thinker want to force them to accept into their lives because they find it insulting that there should be people who do not want to be in the company of other people… Forever.
For the Dog Thinker
It is important for the Dog Thinker to understand, that once the Cat Thinkers have found their True Emotion Mirrors and are free to form a true relationship with them, after that, they will be A LOT easier to manage, they will be more relaxed, fun to be around, and a lot more sociable, but for as long as you try and prevent their relationships with their True Emotion Mirrors (of their own choosing), they will remain impossible to deal with.
For the Cat Thinkers
It is important to understand how and why the Dog Thinker think about relationships, and why they cannot understand the need to seek for true love somewhere outside your own town or village (no matter how small as long as the numbers match). It is important for you to understand it, because they will always try to tell you you’re dreaming, that you’re under a spell, that you are somehow misled by romantic comedies and what not, but you are not. You know what you are like and you know what you want and need. This typology, along with the Trail Companions* is here to make it clear to you that you CAN find what you are looking for, and that you do not need to compromise and lose hope in true happiness with someone who will make movies pale in comparison.
And no, the Dog Thinker won’t agree with you (any time soon) so you just hang on in there and grit it through.
