presence 8 - she's most at ease with the people she's comfortable with, so her three friends and later on yeong.. by a long shot, too. it's not like jihye is so afraid of people and social situations that she can't go out by herself at all, but it's definitely never a fun time for her. even when she goes to the supermarket or w/e she tries to avoid eye contact with anyone, keeping her head down, arms close to herself etc. she constantly looks like she's trying to shrink away into the environment. as long as they're not in the middle of the crowd she can be out with them in public and at least display less of that behaviour, if not just completely get rid of it. (although she'll definitely cling to one/all of them, given the chance.) if jihye is freaked out or tense, you can tell, she can't hide it at all.
presence 10 - social situations drain her like woah. hanging out with her friends is already something she's pretty physically tired from by the end of it, and it counts even moreso for interactions with total strangers. tending to her 59959043 plants in her apartment (ok.. slight exaggeration... but there's quite a few) gives her energy and later on when she's more comfortable with momming/noona-ing yeong, that'll give her energy too. fussing over friends makes her feel better since it makes her feel like she can actually do something for them in return.
disposition 2 - despite the fact that she's utterly terrified of people, jihye stills believes deeply in being good to people. so with the few people she dares to do more with than very slight eye contact, she actively tries her best to be good to them by making sure they're alright and helping where she can. unfortunately this also backfires as in if she's in a situation where she just can't do anything to help, she feels useless and like crap bc of it.
disposition 6 - basically there's three ways to go. either jihye stays the way she is now (comfortable with a few and shying away from the rest of the world), she gets worse (retreating into her house and getting groceries delivered to her and hardly ever coming out anymore, which would be her first instinct at Something Really Bad happening) or she gets better. i doubt jihye would ever be able to turn into a true social butterfly, but with the right pushes from the right people she could at least get somewhat better than how she is now, at least enough so that she could like look the cashier in the eye at the supermarket. DARING. I KNOW.
connections 3 - jihye doesn't seek anything out intentionally since she's a scared flower.. changmin just forced her into a friend group but it turned out for the best so hey?? but the kind of bonds jihye enjoys the most are the kinds that make her feel safe, one way or another.
connections 7 - it's kind of complex since jihye is so conflicted about it.. she wants her friends to protect her but at the same time she doesn't want to be That Person forever and wants to get better so she doesn't have to ask them for stuff all the time. LIKE she'd feel terrible asking either changmin/chanyoung/jongsoo to accompany her to the mall, but she'd have fun at the same time going around there with them together. the social anxiety life is hard.
activities 1 - aside from social contact she dislikes loud places and most things that are overwhelming, one way or another. she'd hate rollercoasters and all those thrill rides too, for example. she likes animals bc they're 10000 times easier to deal with than humans, and for that exact reason she likes plants even more since those are even easier to deal with. no plant will ever judge you or be mean to you!!!
WHICH KIND OF LINKS INTO ACTIVITIES 3 - she keeps tons of flowers and plants in her apartment (not crazily so, but there's a lot) and loves tending to them.. she wants to open a flower shop one day, that's totally her dream, but she knows that she wouldn't be able to do so as-is with her social anxiety up the whazoo, she'd die talking to even a single customer. SO that's also a driving force for her to want to get better
