Feels in an invidious position: that trust, affection, and understanding are being withheld and that he is being treated with a humiliating lack of consideration. Considers he is being denied the appreciation essential to his self-esteem and that there is nothing he can do about it. Disheartened by the lone struggle against difficulties with no encouragement. Feels he is getting nowhere; that, instead of the admiration he needs, he is consistently misunderstood. Wants to escape from the situation but cannot find the strength of mind to make the necessary decision.
Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity but is inclined to be emotionally withdrawn, which prevents him from becoming deeply involved.
Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.
Insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs reassurance and encouragement. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.
Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity providing no turmoil or emotional agitation is involved.
Feels the situation is hopeless. Strongly resists things which he finds disagreeable. Tries to shield himself from anything which might irritate him or make him feel more depressed.
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond his capabilities, or reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. His inability to enforce his will causes him to over-react in stubborn defiance and by assigning to others all the blame for his own failures.
His natural ability to examine everything with critical discrimination has been distorted into an attitude of harsh disapproval, which opposes and denigrates without regard to the real facts.
You are attracted to a person's energy. You don't really know why, you just are. You decision to get married, though, is based on physical appearances, a special look that catches your eye. You can feel, for example, that someone was just "too cute" to let go. Attraction is difficult for you to deny when that special look is evident.
Relationships mean serious business to you. You're loyal, but wary about forming new bonds. This can sometimes work to your detriment. Instead of experiencing life, you stand back, resisting what you know is right, analyzing yourself as if you were writing a book. You place your needs on a shelf to be dealt with later. Later, however, never comes.
You are suffering from the effects of those things which are being rejected as disagreeable, and you are strongly resisting them. You just want to be left in peace. You are unable to exert the effort required to achieve your objectives. You feel neglected, and you desire greater security, warm affection and fewer problems. You are unhappy at the resistance you feel whenever you try to assert yourself. You tend to get indignant and resentful because of this resistance, but you give way casually and make whatever adjustments are necessary so that you can have peace and quiet. Your disappointment has led to a suspicious and restrained withdrawal from others and into yourself. You suppress your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear you might be carried away by it only to find yourself pursuing some will-of-the-wisp. You feel you have been misled and abused and have withdrawn to hold yourself cautiously aloof from others. You keep a careful and critical watch to see whether motives towards you are sincere; You have a watchfulness which easily develops into suspicion and distrust. Once bitten, twice shy; your emotional disappointment is leading to watchful mistrust of motive. Your disappointment and your fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, emptiness, and a contempt for you own self which you refuse to admit. This refusal of admission, leads to your adopting a headstrong and defiant attitude.
