They are vulnerable, though, laughably sensitive that it would be comedic were it not such a burden to these happy souls.
Any criticism literally stops them in their tracks, paralyzes them, and induces instant inertia.
It is a huge dagger pinging straight through the centre of their heart. Don't criticize them, it is singularly unwarranted. These precious, creative souls deserve better than that.
They're not workaholics, they're chilled as hell and would happily spend 23 hours a day in bed.
However, their creative output and overwhelmingly charming personas more than make amends.
