Beyond Your Number
Lost in Translation: Type 5 “We Need to Talk”. Without the Ambush!”
Type Fives value space, clarity, and time to think, so “We need to talk” can sound like “prepare to be emotionally mugged.” In this Lost in Translation episode, Damon and Kelly break down what Fives often hear versus what we mean, and offer practical language that preserves autonomy, protects energy, and gets you the thoughtful input you want.
You’ll hear:
- Why drop-ins and vague invites drain a Five’s “battery”
- The core misreads: I’m about to be overwhelmed, put on the spot, and trapped
- Exact phrases to use instead, giving topic, timing, and expectations up front
- A reframe Fives can use to tell discomfort from avoidance
Clarity is kindness, especially with Fives.
