The overly complicated, “some had too many pieces, period” (Silverstein), the fragile, which Silverstein draws as a balloon being popped by the sharp point of the wedge, the narcissist, “some rolled by without noticing” (Silverstein), and the worshipper, “one put it on a pedestal and left it there” (Silverstein) and so much more. These depictions of partners are ones that may be familiar to anyone, and we may come across partners who represent all of these archetypes, but the result is always the same. Some partners are just not entirely right for us, which becomes tricky. We become involved in the suggestion that maybe we are the problem, changing ourselves to attract what we think will be better
