High S Steadiness people are reserved and people-oriented.
They need personal feelings.
Note
I give no guarantees about the success of these moments of dignity . Success depends on the invitee, the situation, the timing, etc. However, every moment of dignity in front of bystanders is an invitation for the bystanders to support you. The support probably won’t come immediately, but it probably wouldn’t come at all without an invitation.
Sincerity is necessary for any moment of dignity to be effective. Insincerity could create backlash.
