Their type
At a glance
When RLUAN, keeping distance from the world with their conviction, meets RLUEN, to whom every rule is stifling, the two define their distance from the world differently. They're in a similar spot, but the reasons for being there differ.
The two of you on five axes
4 of the five axes match and 1 differ. Matching axes are where you recognise each other at once; differing ones are where you learn from each other.
Even at a gathering, the edge seat is comfortable, and sometimes they just don't go.
In the same spot, they find that distance comfortable with each other.
No need to bother making conversation, no need to pretend to care.
Usually that's a picture where one side would feel slighted, but not these two. Only, the closer they get, the difference in their grain starts to show.
One keeps apart because their conviction is firm, the other just because they hate being bound.
Where you clash
RLUAN's standards are clear.
Since those standards are strong, they reach even someone close.
Even without forcing, it reaches RLUEN.
RLUEN, hating that their freedom shrinks, steps back one more.
RLUAN thinks “I didn't bind you,” and RLUEN has already drifted away.
Both are in the right, and that rightness keeps colliding.
Relationship playbook
The good moment is an evening when the two spend their own time without interfering.
They eat together, and then one reads a book and one listens to music, and that's natural.
Usually they don't ask each other, but sometimes when one brings up their own story, the other, for that day at least, listens a long time.
“It's good if RLUAN loosens their conviction a bit for someone close. And it's good if RLUEN knows that being completely apart isn't freedom. That distance is the base for both of them, but stepping one foot closer inside it is these two's homework.”
