As I was watching “Too Hot To Handle”, a Netflix series about individuals dating to build an emotional connection amongst each other rather than a physical connection, there was an activity where they explained the three different types of people in the world.
Reactive
People who fall into this category, typically, react to situations instantly before thinking about it. If someone does something to them, then they quickly do something back. Sort of like a tit for tat type of person. These people usually have quick tempers and are hot headed.
Responsive
Responsive people are those who try to be the peace maker in situations. They like to find the best solution to the problem. They would rather talk things out in a calmly manner instead of lash out. If someone does something to them, then they will most likely turn the other cheek and kill them with kindness. They believe sometimes silence is the best answer. These people are very mild tempered and easy going.
Shut Down
This category speaks for itself. We all know someone who shuts down when something happens to them or surrounding them. They do not tend to react nor respond to situations. They walk away, go M.I.A., cry, become really quiet, or try to act like nothing has happened. These people tend to have a difficult time expressing their emotions and dealing with their emotions properly. They usually need time to process everything and will address the situation at a later time, if at all.
