You have a strong need for attention and being praised. You relish knowing that others adore you and enjoy you, such that you are vulnerable to playing to the wrong people simply in an attempt to hear what you most like to hear. You have a tender heart and hide it by superficially entertaining others who rarely pierce your veneer to see your sensitive soul. You are highly guarded on deep issues and willing to talk freely about matters that don’t hit too close to home. Once another has seen behind your curtain, it bonds you two for life, but rarely becomes a common occurrence.

You speak what is on your mind freely and can be rather flippant, which can be hurtful to others who are more sensitive. Once others are hurt, you don’t understand why they can’t just get over themselves and move on. However, because of your engaging style, you are typically forgiven.

Perfect! You are such a yellow. The rest of us wish we could be so fun as you guys. Chris and Kaila are yellows for sure. Then there's a whole lot of blue around my house.
