Does this psychological idea have potential?

Spoiler: What I Have So Far

There are two clusters of traits that are more likely to co-exist within each other that are related to life and death and our perception of them. Most people will lean to one cluster over the other but not necessarily have every trait.

To oversimplify things, cluster 1 is afraid of living and life itself. They often cope with this by thinking nothing *really* matters, trying to develop specialty in rationality and systematic-logical thinking to solve all the problems that they perceive as life being full of.

To oversimplify things, cluster 2 is afraid of dying and death itself.

Basically, I noticed these 2 clusters of opposing traits, with one extreme being more afraid of life and living and the other being more afraid of death and dying and it's consequences. The extreme cluster 1 is essentially the Reddit ex-theist who ditches God because they are full of enough anxiety/guilt by default but can't really ditch their life force.

Cluster 2's extreme is basically an /x/ user that has created a fantastical inner landscape to cope with their death force that makes everything feel lackluster, they essentially create their own problems because they're bored.

I have no idea if you guys see the same pattern as I do. Nor how to make a description for cluster 2 that isn't horribly biased against it. Or even if this idea has any value. I was originally thinking of writing it as a neutral description but it might be more useful if I treat it like The Enneagram and have them be starting points with a method of coping that's basically "practice gratitude" but more specific and elaborated on.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense.

I actually didn't read your post at first and just said the first thing I thought it related to
now that I read it again, these clusters, that you call them, are just instinct and reason (there is no human, or organism for that matter, that isn't afraid of death), the fact you think cluster 1(reason) is afraid of life is because of our hectic modern life, where it is easier to ommit a this overload of information (nothing really matters mindset), instead of building long therm plans, this goes against instinct who lives in the now and values life

with hunter gathereres these clusters were also in conflict since instinct told them to eat everything now, meanwhile reason built longer term plans
so while cluster 2 is always the same cluster 1 changed with our sociery
or something idk

I wonder whether people with cluster 1 or normalGODs think about every possible potential conversation that can take place in their free time.
Often when someone asks me about something, I have no concrete opinion about it and I struggle with creating a right response. Or I am just too autistic to translate concepts into words easily.
