Thank you, Richard! I confirm that as a 5/1, the 1 in me does not like people too close in my personal space. I thrive when I am by myself or know that there is an exit from an interaction I am having. I have the 22 which I think adds to that. I'll be in the mood to be charming and interactive, and then, all of sudden, wanting to get as far away from everyone as I can.

This is all deeply true. I love how you said 5s have a universal quality to us; it is almost like we carry collective archetypes which draw people to us in their own pursuit of fantasy & meaning; I am often told that I appear like I came out of a "fairytale" in the way I act, dress, and speak, and actually embodying this fairytale brings my destiny closer it seems. I am also a writer of these kinds of tales so that's where the messenger quality comes in. Just wanted to share a perspective from a 5/1. I love your teachings Richard, thank you 🙏🏻

5/1 manifestor here. Oh yeah- sunglasses and Irish good-byes are my bestfriends. 😎

Yes people will call me randomly to get something from me whether it’s specific advice or just my attention. I give it because I don’t want my reputation to be damaged. But I am aware they are reaching out to me for themselves not for me.

I am a 5/1 manifestor and this is so accurate. I have spent over a decade studying astrology, tarot and Kabbalah and I am thrilled to have come across the human design. Thank you. Your video about manifestors spoke to my soul.

Omg my husband is a 5/1 splenic projector. And he was a hospice nurse for so long and somebody literally asked him if he was an angel.

Yes, this is exactly what I experience as a 5/1 Manifesting Generator. My entire life I have been blamed and projected upon. It took many years for me to figure out what was happening.

The part about being able to say the perfect or nastiest thing is so true that I now prefer not to speak. A lot of people have said that I said some of the most hurtful thing to them because of how truthful it was that they thought about it for days on end. Meanwhile I can’t remember saying it or I thought it was harmless and obvious. But yeah we have to remember that some truths are harsh and if someone doesn’t want to hear it, don’t say it.

Thank you Richard, this clip brought me to tears. Some things fell in place. I've been unknowingly living more or less my design for a few years, making choices with my belly instead of my head for instance. But only a few days ago I came in contact with human design and it all made a click. I still need to find out a lot of things but it made sense from second one. Except for my profile being a 5/1. I'm 52 and never understood why people from getting to know me had a different way of seeing me and then after a while coming back to me saying they had misjugded me at first. (they usually think I am not able of doing the job) I never understood until now. Maybe in the future knowing that can/will happen can I find peace with that knowing after a while they'll see the real me instead of doubting myself all the time. A precious gift you gave me, thank you very much. Love, Antonia

I’m a pretty anxious person but people always project an idea of confidence on me. I just use that as an advantage to trust I’m coming off cool and not jittery. Even if I’m not feeling confident deep down it’s easy for me to display that !! Wow !!!!!!!!

You nailed it, Richard. Thank you for this. That quality of haunting you said is so true. As a 5/1 mental Projector w/ 43/23, I often hear, “Remember that conversation we had a few years ago?” Sometimes I will, and sometimes I won’t. But they’ll say I said something that resonated so much with them that they looked into it and then made changes in their life because of it. Some even changed their careers as a result. It may, and probably was, something I said unconsciously (because I have the 43/23 in my design side). So I find as a 5/1 what I say can help people make practical differences in their lives.

5/1 emotional manifestor with left cross of individualism here. I'm either completely out on my stage, or in complete Hermit mode. i need constantly daily alone time, otherwise my aura is like a little candle in comparison of its usual aura. i definitely haunt people with my words (good & bad) but if it was bad, you can best believe it was thoroughly thought through and deserved

I am a 5/1 and you are spot on! I've never ever liked people unnecessarily touching me or being in my personal space bubble!! Also agree that people project on to me all the time. I find myself really amazed by the human design content. I have never felt so understood in my entire life! Not only do I understand myself better, but I feel like I am able to explain myself to others even better! Thank you!!!

Absolutely in sync with my experience as a 5/1 sacral generator. Also the physical part as a first line. Oh yes! Don’t come too close. I can get tense in my body without even wanting it. And of course the projections and sometimes feeling lonely in that. “See me as I am” desire ;-)

Thank you! I feel that I, a 50 year old 5/1, am fully aware of people not seeing me. I can clearly see them going down the wrong path - that is also because I am not showing myself in my truth. I am new to human design... one thing I instantly did not understand fully was that I should be concerned about my reputation, as you say. Oh, I lost it a few times and it was painful, but it only showed me that reputation does not mean anything. Projections are after all only that - projections.

Wow, wow. This explains why I can't bear being in public without sunglasses or a hat to protect myself from massive projections. I am the woman on the plane with sunglasses even if it is raining! Not a movie star a survival technique.

You couldn't be more accurate on this. I'm a 5/1 Mani-Gen LAX Prevention and I resonate deeply with the trepidation moving forward in ANYTHING. It's quite painful, the saying "leap and the enet will appear" - but what if it doesn't? LOL I have had the joy of coaching multiple people into the integration of the 5th line, and I have noticed that if we choose something odd, flashy, bright, unusual about our style, that item or style will more often receive the projection and we can sort of get on with things after that. Over time people grow to love (or sometimes really hate) who we are outside the projection field. The thing I find the hardest about being a 5th line is that there seems to be this really painful wound of wanting to be seen deeply, and never really finding that with others. It's a blessing and a curse I guess.

Sunglasses are my best friend lol

I only discovered human design today and I'm blown away by this discovery. I've been having a tough time lately and a friend spoke to me about human design. She was talking to me about being an empath and how unfortunately at the moment my body is trying to reject the stuff I'm carrying. This has been amazing to discover. Thank you so much.

Very true about the personal space. I don’t even like people parking too close to me if there’s an ample amount of parking or taking the bathroom stall right next to me if there’s plenty of stalls 🥴😂

5/1 projector here. I have started studying my design only recently - and it has basically saved my life. The projection piece I was not aware of - I tried to solve every single problem brought to me and wondered why people constantly had clashing ideas and intense emotions + expectations of who I am. I can finally let that go and wear the sunglasses. I had felt some of these ideas + strategies present before, but had a spiritual teacher tell me that it must have been “ego” and “putting myself on a pedestal” to think this way ( happy to have learned about the projection piece! ) Anyway, thank you kindly and bless the fellow 5/1s

Yes, Richard, 5/1 here, you're actually correct down to the most minute details...although I don't doubt that you know these profiles very deeply and well, indeed, in the same instance I compliment you on your knowledge and wisdom's; however, I am not 100% sure that I would call that feature of "keeping distance" from others an insecurity theme, I look at this aspect of the self as natural part of self-preservation's...5/1 gets projected a lot and some people can be very quick to place their expectations upon us, other than accept their own responsibilities...and then if their expectations are not filled in they turn into sour gossips... I have experienced these scenarios multiple times since childhood to the point I could even predict the outcome's and had to develop different strategies to break up those patterns and cycles. Other than that, your analysis is absolutely correct. Thank you!

So so true when it comes to someone touching my body!! I really don’t like it and I always though something is wrong with me or it has something to do with past trauma 😂😂 never thought it has something to do with my human body design

Whoa I’ve never heard that part about personal space on the line 1 and that totally makes sense. I’m really sensitive to friendly touches/taps on the shoulders, arms and back. I tend to flinch even when I’m not threatened at all.

I like being touched if I’ve INVITED it - but you’re absolutely right, as a 5/1, can confirm my instinct would be to resist and find out why I’m being touched first.

i found this very interesting and so true for me, i am a 5/1 manifesting generator, but i have no problem with close contact, in fact i love it! but i need some days for myself if i have been social for some days, thats when i can truly relax.

The part about the body part is so true. I was known for hating being touched in high school. I couldn’t stand physical touch. I still overthink hugging or shaking people’s hands.

I discovered human design one week now I am so thankful thankful that I am here because I am walking to be a better version of myself since 2014 and this a ice to the cake for me thank you 🙏🏿 💜💜💜😊

Incredibly spot on! The touching, coming to close in my space, the insecurity that sometimes from very deep still manages to climb to the surface! WOW

5/1 here - yes about personal space. It felt like an unconscious thing when my boss that I really enjoy reached out and touched my shoulder affectionately. I recoiled and then had to consciously lean in so she wouldn’t think I didn’t like her or something, lol. Great video, thank you for posting!

New here to HD. Your comment about the messenger played out for me a couple of years ago I had a bizarre conversation with a strangerwho asked me what my spiritual belief was. I replied and his response was that he knew my response would be significant to his life in the future. Thank you for your knowledge, enabling me to discover the real me 🙏💚

I am a 5/1 and omg I feel Understood! It's impressive to see how accurate your description is! Thank you 🙏

So true, I even like to have my own bedroom from my hubby so I can have my space.

I'm sitting here enraged, and educating myself (thanks to one of my favorite people 💕), and I've been able to calm down while taking notes. Learning about myself is comforting and sharpening me at the same time. Thank you!

When I feel my reputation has been injured, it's like extreme nerve pain! I hate it. I am invisible for the most part. This allows me to "do my work" which is private and usually heretical. 5/1 mental projector here.

I'm a 5/1 Generator with a Sacral Auth and Mr.Beaumont, as you're talking about the 1 line and how we seek comfort and control of our space I really resonate 100%. Especially when I am at the gym I noticed as a 5 line as well I naturally attract people to be in my vicinity/aura/space but once they're too close I get extremely bothered/uncomfortable and as well touching me with out my consent very very irritating ( even if in a friendly environment). Interesting to find out new things about me that have always happened to me but now putting the 'why' behind it, it's very insightful. Also speaking about projection I fear at times people project their own insecurities on to me and I am still learning to navigate that. thank you for this video !

It's so true about the projection screen,I totally see this when just a few people can even describe me very well.

This video really helped me. My mother is a 5/1 Ego Manifestor and I always noticed her stiffening up when I hugged her. I'm a 3/6 Emo MG so I'm the fuzzy bunny and completely comfortable with touch. I was 50 before she was even comfortable saying "I love you". Of course, I thought there was something wrong with me until I found HD. But this helps even more to understand her. Thank you Richard.

Funny, I really recognize the cat and mouse game in myself. I always like to go deep in one on one conversations and indeed it feels like a seduction game. I love the feeling of being in control and experiencing the energy of the connection created. With dating its the same, it can get really intense. Sometimes I scare off guys😂

This is all very true for me as a 5/1, and you are correct. I don't like people getting too physically close to me (I'm fine with a partner, but others make me uncomfortable)

Personal space is Huge! Agreed

❤well done. As a 5/1 (MG) I have an intresting twist on the “being touched” issue. Very much a concern indeed. I am a massage therapist of all things (and get so much meaning/joy) and have come to realize I much prefer the control of who does the touching. Very important distinction. While also enjoying the healing powers of touch. I also thinking 5/1 types are quintessential questioners..it certainly has being the aura / subtext of my entire life. Thank you for your lovely perspectives and insights.

My son is a 5/1 Manifestor with ego strategy and used to literally flinch if I went to hug him. Im a 3/5 emotional Generator so my 3 line wanted to hug him. I learnt to stand back and open my arms and not take it personally if he rejected me. I waited it out. Now he comes back from school and walks straight into my enveloping aura and hugs me. It's brief but its good. Plus he can be the energy of the party with his pals and just has happily hole up in his bedroom. He's happy with both. In fact he needs both. The most interesting thing I've noted from listening to this episode is that, regardless of his poor examination results, every time the school are convinced he's going to get As or that he will next time. Next time comes and he doesn't. Now this 5th line energy makes sense. They see his projection and want it. But if its aligned with his true self then its ain't coming!

Wauw what you where saying with touching first lines. I Also am self projected authority. I always thought it was because of my narcistic stepfather, although i dont believe in narcism. Thank you, love to see how much love you put in these video’s

Wow loved that thank you and every thing resonated! X

Thank you so much!!❤

The person space thing is the most accurate thing I've never understood why, but makes so much sense. I only feel comfortable being touched by my partner, I don't even really hug my closest friends.

Spot on!

My boyfriend is a 5/1. Spot on. Thank you for what you do. You have a very calming eloquent way of teaching. 🙏🏼

All true! Perfect!

So much truth in this! For 5: I own 20 pairs of sunglasses 😎🤣 I move jobs frequently and they always call me and ask me for help when I leave. While I was a CNA & a nurse my patients used to call me an angel. For 1: I definitely do not like people touching me because of energy transfer. I am highly empathic and it took me a long time to not absorb other peoples suffering.

Thank you 🎩🙏🤗

GREAT video!!

Totally true for me about the personal space. If pushed, I immediately bristle.

Your way of delivering is so lovely!...also very accurate. :) Thank you.🥰

Thank you❤ I confirmed that

Thanks, Richard! 5/1 Ego Manifestor. I totally resonate with everything you said!

Wow spot on!

Wowww this makes so much sense !

Thank you!

Very true Richard 😮

Thank you Richard. It all resonates with me - 5/1 Projector. Also the need of personal space😆

Beautifully Put Richard 🖐🏽✨ I always appreciate the sensitivity & energetic nuances of how you present information. Just to let you know: Many 5/1s have called you out as a good representation+ comparison to others, for someone who does not have this profile speaking of it as close as it can get to deeply understanding it. WIth Love, 5/1 single defined ego splenic Manifestor

You are correct sir!

Thanks for this video, 5/1 Manifestor

This is so interesting and helpful. At the moment I am really struggling with that projecting field. I sort of feel shame around not being/having/expressing my "self" around others. I feel like I am masking a lot and only being what they would want/need me to be. People pleasing in order to meet emotional safety? It strikes me as a manipulative way to get what I need without having to define (and put boundaries around) me? If 5/1 is about being projective, is there even a real me? I am fighting this projectiveness very much..

Amazing.

Thank you so much Richard. 🙏Very helpful information. Sometimes I find it hard to be a 5/1... 😕

I’m a 5/1 emotional manifestor and I don’t like to be touched at all. I won’t even have a message. I have no idea what people think of me and I don’t care, because they will change their mind anyway to suit them. I think most of the time I have a positive effect on people, but who knows what they see.

This is very true for me literally

Hi Richard, good to hear your years of experience and wisdom :) - I'm 5/2 apparently and I'm sending a link of your precise explanation of the 5th line Personality here to someone who I want to explain this to. Always fantastic to hear you online like this :) Best wishes Mahalo

5/1 reflector and can relate to this 👁 thank you fore some great videos 🪄🙏🏼

Nailed it. I'm a 5/1"and now it makes sense why I do that when ppl get a bit too close. Fascinating

Resonated with everything!

about the first line...yeah, feeling that

Haha loved all the comments.. only started to understand the tip of the human design experiment iceberg. As a 5/1 myself too, investigating about this tool is more and more adventure. We are all so uniquely designed by ourselves to play specific roles, embodying them with awareness makes us know who we really are outside of these archetypes. Thanks Mr Richard😄😄 "Yeah you know people have no idea how long a really good seduction takes" on point 💯 😆 The sparks that fire when other gets really close to cracking the code, yet we keep them on thier toes. feel I could play the cat and mouse game forever. Also so true about being acutely sensitive of energies touching us, it's like a friction. And seeing the depths deeply. I have an inner vision cognition and at any moment the possible realities that flash are so fun to look at. Ahh.. only begun to look thru this experiment. My 1 line is so excited to respond to all the insights that will come. 🙏

Thank you.

The sunglasses comment is 💯 true 👌🏽

5/1 Emotional Generator here. Hi Richard! Spot on, of course. We had a ‘back to school night’ for parents a few days ago. (I’m a hs teacher in the US) and enjoy a ‘reasonable’ positive reputation. I just started out with “Let’s just all lower our expectations, ok? (They laughed, which always helps.” My rep will fade with some, others ok. Thanks for doing these videos Richard; we’ll talk again soon.

10000% true about everything 🫶🏾🙌🏾🤝🏾 including my personal space. That was incredibly spot on to the T. Asè🌞🙌🏾🙏🏾🤝🏾

Thank you so much for this invaluable video. I just did the test today and it's explained so much 😊 and taken a weight off my shoulders. That's because I have been delving into the past and trying to come to terms with past trauma , and what came up again and again was the sense of being used as a scapegoat, and this is by people that I have previously helped even saved (and I hate that assumption but yes that's what was expected from me?) I come from a Christian background and was kind of the wonder kid, prodigy until suddenly I wasn't then the pendulum swung into the other direction. This background was pretty toxic and full of expectations of someone leading the way, leading the (family) group, and I was held in high regard until I rebelled (the heretical side) and then I was punished by exclusion, almost exile? Yes these people thought in biblical terms! It's been troubling for me I was literally demonized, so it takes time to get used to power, but I had that trust upon me by immature adults not very responsible themselves who wanted a problem solver/fixer and then it was that after this I then became the problem (child) myself. So I have had my life ruled by people's projections of me, and yes people only see what they want to see, not the real me As you said it takes time, and no one ever asked me what I wanted or bothered to find me out who I really was? Almost as if they didn't really care? Quite frankly they didn't because they are not the investigative type like I am, and they were just content to take what was helpful and then discard me, that's haunted me I admit at times I have had almost a victim mentality, and yet I knew that wasn't the real me either? Yet another projection put onto me this time by people who would have me as their victim, first making sure that I was groomed for that purpose Yes my self worth was eroded after I had finished my usefulness, so I really thank this knowledge and it's really helpful for me to understand the (unhealthy) dynamics at play here , because in truth I was ready to serve and help others, but I was not ready to be their servant and considered servile and expendable, so this helps me to come to terms with this. That being a projector carries with it an inherent risk, even vulnerability, yes we can access things that others can't imo, that sense of focused intention and perception is like a laser beam, (think Luke Skywalker with his light sabre) 😊 but people sometimes punish the very person they turn to (to save them) maybe because it makes them feel small or inferior? Again their inner projection? So maybe I brought out (in my family's case) their inferiority complex, and because they had narcissistic tendancies their sense of ego was threatened, and yes this may come across as conceited, but I have to remind myself that this is their projection I didn't ask for that, that's not me? I am actually pretty low key, usually introverted and fairly modest, but the grandiosity of narcissistic people is like a hidden danger to the projector type? Here you are going to get a hugely inflated grandiose projection put onto you, that is nothing about you, and everything about how they see themselves or want to be seen and the flip side of being put on a pedestal of course is the inevitable fall (from grace) or their favour and as day fallows night it's always going to happen. Now at least I know why? Also I can stop feeling so hurt by that betrayal, because they are just playing out group dynamics, it's not me they rejected, they don't even know who I am, it was just what I represented to them and that was a false image anyway. So I'm more than happy to (finally) walk away from it, and not blame myself and just maybe not blame them either , because obviously (now) they didn't know themselves either (just the blind leading the blind) and looking for rescue/saviour/victim? The karpmann drama triangle (I hope I spelt this correctly?) re enacted over and over again. Phew 😅 I'm just glad to be able to walk away....sorry about writing an easy, but yeah this has been troubling me for what feels like forever. knowledge really is power though, and now I realise i don't have to feel like I'm being manipulated into playing a role without my consent so thanks again 💗

Sunglasses have always made me feel more comfortable. So interesting and affirming.

Left cross education here. I’ve started my teaching career for few years. I’ve been in charge of a new subject from ground zero, while the “intelligent” adults there thought it was rocket science to the grassroots kids there. I helped the kids won major academia prizes, but the institution is still gaslighting my dear soul. Definitely getting a new happy post somewhere else😎. The kids will be ok, I’ve already shown them one of the ways to shine. Thank u sir, for helping me realise my situation here😊

Being a 5/1 projector every thing you mentioned here is “unfortunately” true for me.

Best 5/1 talk I've heard.

Your amazing!! ❤

...thank you!

Hello Richard, also I am confirming I hate when someone touches me especially if I don't see it coming.. if they come from behind and especially if it's a person that's not close to me like family :) Thank you for all your knowledge sharing, I appreciate it a lot.

Oh, me ha encantado la clave de que a la línea 1 no le gusta ser tocada, ni que la gente se le acerque mucho. Es tal cuál, yo soy un 5/1, necesito mi tiempo para investigar lo qué sea que mi cuerpo esté investigando y la inseguridad ante que me toque alguien que no hay confianza, que no es una relación fuerte es instantánea, incluso aunque sea una relación estable también surgen momentos de inseguridad y paranoia con el 5. Muy liberador poder entender esta mecánica. Muchas gracias : ))

Please take this with a huge grain of salt…as a 5/1 I can now understand why I was able to be sexually groomed as a very young child (4 yrs) and the sexual abuse continued on until I was finally able to speak up about it at age 15. I so appreciate your work Richard and your explanation has helped me immensely. And yes I deep dive into everything and I love being alone and getting rest to replenish my energy. I am a Master Reiki practitioner and am on my way to the most powerful and successful period of my life…I so appreciate your knowledge, Sir! Thank you for sharing it 💝

Just learning human design. It’s a lot.. but def. Making things make sense a bit more in my life. 5/1 mental Projector here.

This is me! Im a 5/1 splenic Projector…all true…this aura is hard to deal with 😬 …so many times i stayed to long…and karma..you put it all in here i have found some of my karmic people now and im on a journey with them…it’s like a puzzle..fun…im working on letting go of control..and just let it “flow”.

As a manifesting generator 5/1 without ranting on I totally feel this and resonate both with the 5 and the 1!

I'm a 5/1 and have noticed pulling back when unexpected touch from another person (even friends sometimes) comes about. Wondering to myself "hmmm, I wonder why I recoiled like that" lol

First meeting with human design, I'm a 5/1. And correct, don't come to near (in a relation I love to hug) and my thing is the human psyche. I realy wanne get to now people inside out.

Are you able to do a video on 5/1 emotional projector? Thank you!

I’m a 3/5 Emotional Gen and my son is a 5/1 egoic Manifestor. I remember when he was about 4 hrs old he said to me “don’t put your worries onto me” . I was shocked but deeply impressed. I didn’t know about HD then but I somehow “got it”. I don’t feel people project onto me or at least no more than I can respond to. Maybe because it’s my design line rather than personality line.

Yeap. I don’t like anyone in my personal space. This definitely describes me well as a 5/1.

That about the first line is true for me! I don't like getting physically close to people for no deeper reason, I really don't enjoy all these hugs other people seem to enjoy when meeting a friend somewhere or whatever. I really hate it but I don't want to make them feel rejected either who want to show me their friendship by physical contact. I learned though, to put my need in the first place, which means in that case: I don't hug people when greeting, just because it seems to be expected. I just keep my distance and say "Hello! What a joy to see you!" and that I really mean, when I say it. Otherwise I wound not say it. And that, people seem to feel, and I am successfull with that plus I keep my personal physical space I need in those potentially exausting "people gathering, meet and greet"-situations.

Everything right you been saying
