Fluorine
The most reactive thing on the table. Will not be ignored.
Only 3.6% of people are Fluorine. (estimated)
If you're Fluorine
You take what you want from a situation and you take it fast. Sharp, intense, and a little dangerous to handle, you make everything around you stronger or you break it trying.
Fluorine reacts with almost everything, including glass. Chemists nicknamed it 'the tiger of chemistry'.
How to get along with Fluorine
Do
- Give them a target; they do best with something to attack.
- Be direct. Anything softer they read as weakness or evasion.
- Let them win the small arguments.
Don't
- Don't put fragile people or fragile plans next to them.
- Don't try to contain them with rules; they eat glass.
When it goes wrong: They react with everything, including you. Keep the distance you'd keep from a flame you like.
