I think I was most like the "witch" type when I was a younger adult. I was frequently angry, and it was a very self-righteous, scathing rage. I would sometimes shred people with verbal outbursts, and I knew how to go for the throat since I had invested so much time and energy in trying to please them, that I had simultaneously learned all of their weaknesses, dysfunctions and insecurities.
These days I have mellowed out considerably in those regards, but I have a lot more anxiety and cynicism. I don't try very much with people anymore, much more reclusive and pessimistic, which keeps my anger under control most of the time, but also makes me more like a paranoid, crabby old fart even at the age of 27. I've become more so the "hermit" type.
