For a class assignment, Param is trying to describe a person with a Type D personality. His most recent effort says, "Paige is very serious and super sensitive to criticism. She is so afraid that other people will reject her that she doesn't interact with them, and as a result she is often isolated, sad, and lonely. However, she rarely expresses her negative emotions, anger, or sadness, and so she is at risk of developing cancer."
