When you look at it in sequence the next in line differs only by one letter. As for the F part another thing I've noted is that while growing up with my two older siblings our parents yelled and screamed ALOT.

My older sister would often take us into her room and pray. She usually grabbed us when it started and locked the door as if to protect us. She was very emotional about it and her decision was strongly based on how she felt about us. We were all quiet kids and didn't speak to our parents too often unless spoken too. She often tried to understand them by looking at them. She would stare and try to know what they were feeling and she did the same to us. I believe this is what made her develop as an intuitive feeling perceptive introvert.

My parents screaming is what made all of us introverts is my guess. If sister wasn't there for protection during such an even then my older brother would do the same, but he never tried to understand them. He never wanted to see me hurt and looked out for me during this time. When it was just me and him we wouldn't pray, we'd clean the room and play with lego's and such.

When it was just me I would go to the room and retreat to the back of my mind. When there was no one to protect me hiding within myself always seemed like the best way to deal with the situation. That or distracting myself by building something out of lego's or setting up a set of domino's I found. As the youngest I often though of ways to avoid the situation if I was the only one around when the screaming started. I had to have a plan A., B., C., etc. just in case because I couldn't always rely on them to be there.

Older brother was close to that, but cared about me to a point where he'd base some decisions on feeling's more often than not. I didn't have to look out for them because they were older and I was younger so I based my decisions on thoughts.

And even further growing up as they stopped fighting so much during that early development my sister still liked to know what people were feeling just by watching them. She had a knack for knowing what you were thinking alot of times. My older brother felt a need to fit in and decided to pick on me and put me down in the presence of those who he wanted to accept him. This caused me to generally stop caring about things like. Though I wasn't trying to do this consciously, I was gradually suppressing emotions to make sure things didn't get to me because I was being made fun of on a regular basis.

When the little brother came along he looked up to me more than the rest of them. I think it's because I spent more time with him since my older brother was a dick and my sister was 12 when he was born and spent a lot of time doing twelve year old things while I did 9 year old things.

The little brother would mimic just about everything I did. I liked videogames so he would play them with me and asked how to play. I don't have any logical theory or explanation for where the perception came from, but we were always quiet in the house and our parents always told us to be toned down in public and such, we were all home schooled. I always told him to think about what he was doing before he did it rather than do what he feels was right. He looked up to me and always tried that.
