Get the Portmanteausmug. A dark horse. An onion that won't make you cry. A walking contradiction in all the best ways. Shy around new people, but has a presence whenever walking into a room. She has a wonderful child like playfulness and sincerity, in spite of surviving terrible things. Incredibly creative and gifted in a variety of arts, but also able to approach subjects with the methodical objectivity of a scientist. Finds the prospect of asking out a cute guy absolutely terrifying, but can keep calm and go into "save the day" mode in life or death situations.
A Christiana is someone you want on your side when shit hits the fan.
Some people talk a big game. Christianas don't talk at all. Seeing what they do, is like watching a fictional trope of the quiet genius or secret badass, come to life. Certain things come so intuitively for them....it's like they're not even aware of what they're capable of.

Get the Vertically Frustratedmug. An asthmatic baby dragon that wheezes small puffs of fire. Just wants to make friends, but ends up accidently burning stuff down, when he forgets his inhaler. The last time was at a furniture store. His friend was really looking forward to that sofa set. It was so soft before it was crispy.
Puff the magic dragon is seriously over having asthma.
Puff the magic dragon wishes he got his name listening to Bob Marley and smoking a bowl instead. He thinks that sounds nice.

Get the Puff the Magic Dragonmug. Just as color perception (and in turn blindness) exists on a spectrum, so too does the ability to experience emotions.
Most people who experience color deficiency, do not have issues with all color (red and green are most common). Color blindness can also come with heightened awareness in other areas...like better than average night vision or a keener sense of smell.
These details parallel well when describing people with emotional deficiencies, in that:
(1.) Someone on the spectrum for narcissistic traits, often still keenly feels rage, envy, hatred and fear.
(2.) Narcissists experience the above emotions more often and at greater intensity than the average person, BECAUSE they lack the ability to feel other emotions (like empathy) which might otherwise (ironically) diminish and balance those feelings out.
(3.) Even a full blown psychopath with no neurotypical fear response, (I.E. only feels an adrenaline rush) is not 100% emotionally colorblind. They still experience pleasure in a limited, ego driven sort of way. If this were not the case, they would have no motivation to do anything, (including anything bad.)
(4.) Total lack of emotional feeling and complete colorblindness, are both incredibly rare, and can signal something more serious...like a brain injury or a neurological condition.

I've never heard someone say they wish they were colorblind, but I've heard a ton of people say they wish they lacked certain feelings, because they think it would solve all their problems. This is kind of like thinking you could avoid getting stuck in traffic if you no longer saw the red in a red light. Emotion is not the heart of the problem.
Emotional color blindness might very well take away things like: codependence, trauma responses and making personal sacrifices for conscientious decisions...but it would also diminish your capacity for joy and your ability to have meaningful relationships with anybody.
Better to sort out the kinks, then throw the whole baby out with the bathwater.

(2.) The freedom felt after physically venting one's daily frustrations, by lifting weights.
Better to abide by "freedom of the press" and be conscientious of other gym members, than hog a machine you are not using. Or are taking lengthy rest periods on, during the busiest time of day.
