Evil Twin

I've been digging into more on my personality profile from 16personalities. They talk about the strengths and weaknesses, dark and light of all of the various personality types. It's along those lines of with great power, comes great responsibility. We all have unique gifts and talents that are our superpowers. We can choose to use these for the betterment of ourselves and others or to use them to tear ourselves and others down. 

At a higher level I'm in the diplomat category of the four big types of personalities and more specifically a protagonist. This means people mastery is my superpower of sorts. That can go in a couple of different ways. At its best, I can help inspire others to be their best and achieve great things. As my evil twin, I can also find it easy to manipulate others into what I'd like them to do. When I was a teenager, I can remember consciously doing this at times to get what I wanted. As I've aged, I've learned that though my evil twin can sometimes get things done faster, I don't usually feel good about it and it usually ends up falling apart somehow.

The above is an example of my dark side side as it relates to tearing down others. There's also an evil twin that can tear down myself. This is usually when I'm being too selfless. When I'm having trouble keeping boundaries between myself and others feelings. It can lead to me being spread too thin and unable to help anyone. There's a time when I would have thought that being more selfish would have been a part of the dark side of my personality. I've learned though that finding the balance between selfless and selfish is part of using my superpower to its fullest.
