Hmmmm, maybe the boy in the Emperor’s New Clothes. He lacks the social awareness that has psychologically gagged all the adults so that they can’t say what they see right in front of them, and so he just blurts out the obvious. He is deficient in the social game being played, and thus is the key to toppling the house of cards.
Meeting Someone’s Needs
Being Vulnerable (realizing that you’re not perfect and that’s okay)
Not Having The Feeling That Something Is Missing
Doing Without Something
Well, the first thing that jumped to my mind was the lack of a lack of character. In other words one is not deficient enough to cause them to do the wrong thing.
However let me nip up a few from Subtxt and see if I can put a positive spin on them.
Being deprived of something…being kicked off the titanic
Feeling in adequate … this could be the motivation jumping off point for a sequel. Time to go learn something
Not being enough for one’s daughter…again recognition of the deficiency can be the jumping off point for improvement. I’m going to do whatever it takes to earn her respect.
Being deprived of a group…well if you’re stepping away from say gang life, that could be a good thing. You can’t run with us no more cuz you aint’ gangster enough.
Focusing on what’s lacking in your relationship with others…this could be an ending where the character realizes they’ve been the one giving everything and the deficiency in reciprocity is no longer acceptable.
Thank you so much for your inspiration. Recognizing the lack of something that motivates you to change something bad makes a lot of sense. My bias having a lack of seeing something positive in deficiency is desolving as we speak ;o)
