5 Are you able to erase an embarrassing incident from your mifidor at any rate from your conversation?

(People don't always realise when they are defensive; but for example, do you dread loss of dignity, do you "fish" for little compliments that will reassure you, and are you very much on your guard for fear of being slighted?) 5 Do you easily grow jealous?
6
On the other hand, are you exceptionally free from jealousy?
