Traditionalists want to belong, to do their duty, to be useful to
the social units they belong to, to be givers, to take care of
others, especially the young and the old, and those in positions
of authority, to be responsible, to do what they are "supposed to
do," to be bound and obligated, to support the work ethic and the
rules and hierarchies of society, to establish and conserve the
institutions of society, to become an official of some kind, to
gain a title and entitlement, to be reverent of elders, to
preserve heritage and heritability, to earn status in whatever
social units they belong to, to be prepared, to be prepared for
the worst.
Aimless, blank, compromising, doubtful, fearful, hesitant, indecisive, indifferent, lazy, mumbles, nonchalant, plain, reluctant, reticent, slow, sluggish, timid, unenthusiastic, uninvolved, worrier.
