How are the 1st, 3rd, and 5th line Profiles in Human Design designed to make friends?
For the past few years, I've been observing the differences between 4th line Profiles (meaning anyone with a 1/4, 2/4, 4/1, or 4/6 Profile) and those of us who don't have a 4th line when it comes to how we meet friends and make connections.
I shared this observation on Twitter, and it really struck a chord with people!
I was speaking particularly to those of us with 1st, 3rd, and 5th-line Profiles (1/3, 2/5, 3/5, 5/1, 5/2, 6/3, 3/6), though I've heard that 6/2s can also have similar experiences.
Which is: we likely do not find friends or feel particularly comfortable socializing for socializing's sake.
Things like rolling up to a party or social gathering where the point is to eat, hang out, and talk may not be where we make the best connections, and our auras may not feel the most comfortable in this type of setting.
Why? And how is this different from 4th lines?
Well, 4th line Profiles have a built-in friendliness. It's natural for them to start talking with someone, find commonalities (like a hobby they both participate in, someone they both know, or somewhere they've both traveled), and begin to bond and potentially begin sharing their resources.
For them, mingling with others and building out their networks in this way is natural. From here, they might agree to meet up again and begin to forge a connection.
I started to notice the difference because the entire group of my immediate family that I spend the most time with has 4th line profiles—my parents, my husband, and my stepson.
And to be honest, I often feel out of step with them!
I have noticed for a long time that we socialize differently. But it was all brought into sharp focus last week when I was at a neighborhood party.
My friendly but introverted husband was flitting around like a social butterfly, finding other people who share his hobbies and getting their phone numbers so he could invite them to hang out.
Meanwhile, I was standing there sipping a soda, feeling like this just wasn't a natural scene for my aura.
"Am I just rusty at meeting new people and bad at talking to others?" I asked myself.
And I mean, while five+ years of working completely on my own at home on an esoteric, alternative topic like Human Design hasn't exactly helped my cocktail party chit-chat (lmao), I am not bad at socializing or holding a conversation. But it's becoming harder to do in this type of environment as I decondition.
I thought about where I feel the most comfortable and where it's the most natural to connect with others. For me (a 1/3 Profile), it's definitely around people who I share an interest or experience with. I often find friends among people I've worked with, volunteered with, studied with, traveled with, or shared an experience with.
It's like I need that foundation, and the bond develops naturally as we cross paths in some shared physical or digital space.
My friendships rarely start in social settings.
So, if you're looking for friends and connections and don't have a 4th line Profile, I would say:
For the 1st line Profile, you'll find friends among people with a shared interest or deep-dive.
For the 3rd line Profile, it would be a shared experience (either one you want to have together or have both had in the past).
And for the 5th line Profile, a shared problem that you are both interested in solving.
For the 6th line Profile, I'd say it would be a shared perspective or lifestyle.
So, what do you think? Does this resonate with you? Where have you met most of your friends, and are you noticing any differences as you decondition?
