A system member who “soaks up” either the optimism or pessimism of other system members. They mirror that optimism or pessimism. Some absorbers may choose to “soak up” both, though. If they choose to “soak up” or absorb the optimism, they may be seen stuck to the hip of the system optimist (if there is one). In this case, they’d be trying to help the optimist’s goals to lift the system up to better, happier places. If they choose to “soak up” or absorb pessimism, they may be stuck to the hip of the system’s worrier or cynic (if there are any). They’d be trying to help with their goals to point out bad things that could happen and maybe even help disrupt system life.[1][2]
