✨Daily Trait – Can't Start Without You 🧲
Trait:
Has the ability to do something independently but needs another person present to begin.
What it can look like:
Sitting frozen in front of a task until someone sits nearby
Asking "will you stay with me?" before starting
Capable of finishing alone — but launching feels impossible
Following you from room to room before settling
This isn't clinginess or laziness.
For some brains, another person's presence acts as a regulator — it lowers the activation energy needed to get going and makes the task feel possible.
Gentle guidance:
Start together, then quietly fade back
Don't push independence before the connection is established
Your presence is not a crutch — it's a scaffold
Celebrate the start, not just the finish
Sometimes all they need to fly is to know you're still in the room. 🌿
