When Threes feel admired, the need is satisfied and a balance is reached. In the average state, when Threes' are not working hard to improve themselves, others admire them less, which increases Threes' need to be admired. Thus this helps Threes to again work hard to improve themselves. Thus the balancing loop can help Threes to recover. The cycle continues to build up.
Threes can refrain from being competitive but focus on self-improvement instead.
This will lead to genuine admiration from others and lessen the fear of rejection.
