Disposition: They are very secretive and closed to keep the deep, dark secret (skeleton in the closet) hidden. The hidden factor is subtle, because they keep it from themselves and others. Like a chameleon, they need to fit in and conform so they won't be found-out or judged by others. Self-protection is always expressed in some way, and they are elusive. They are always trying to please and may change depending on who they are with. It is a very guilt ridden remedy and they may use the word "guilty" a lot, and can feel guilty for no distinctive reason. This is an aspect of self-blame and shame. The shame isn't always clinically sexual, but somehow it always affects the sexuality or is sexually expressed. There is usually some history of abuse, suppression and manipulation and they feel frail and unsafe.
