The Victim
Image Source
Always blames others for her misfortune in life. Avoids taking risks and therefore stays stuck, feeling very unlucky in life. The Victim is often ill and feels sorry for herself. She wants the world to feel sorry for her, too. Almost like it is her comfort blanket to suffer.

The Prostitute

Someone who has no self-respect, allows people to walk all over her. Bends over backwards and has no self-trust. She plays it small and hides away from the world, and opportunities. Her purpose is to serve others, even to her own detriment.
3.
The Child
Image Source
Just like a real child, she deals with her business like a child. Not able to make decisions, spends money recklessly, not thinking of the consequences. Making statements like this is not fair, they should help me, choose me. Me, me, me, me… The child is very much all about herself. She also loves to compare herself to others.
4.
The Saboteur
Image Source
Now, she might sound fun at first as she is that cool, careless, and fun shadow, but she crushes and burns. Why? She is a rule breaker, and that means, she breaks her own rules in life. The very rules, and boundaries that she had put in place for her to get to her end goal. Yep, she is the one who pops its head up when you need to get a great night's sleep right before your big day and says: “Let’s watch Netflix till 2 am!” She is also very flaky because she can’t be disciplined. Oh, and her most famous work is procrastination! She is a master at this, and she does it so subtly that you might think it is perfectionism.
