Gate 22 carries social grace — charm, warmth, the ability to make people comfortable — but it runs on an emotional wave. At the top of the wave, the grace flows effortlessly. At the bottom, it withdraws. People with this gate often get told they're 'moody' when they're actually just in a different part of their cycle. The grace is real. The withdrawal is also real. Both are you.
