Your Existing Situation
Attracted by anything new, modern, or intriguing. Liable to the bored by the
humdrum, the ordinary, or the traditional.
Your Stress Sources
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.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Has high emotional demands and is willing to involve himself in a close
relationship, but not with any great depth of feeling.
Able to achieve
satisfaction through sexual activity.
Your Desired Objective
Wants to make up for what he feels he has missed by living with exaggerated
intensity; in this way he feels he can break free from all the things that
oppress him.
Your Actual Problem
Wants to act freely and uninhibitedly, but is restrained by his need to have
things on a rational, consistent, and clearly-defined basis.
Your Actual Problem #2
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond
his capabilities, or his reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety
and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. He attempts to remedy this
by intense activity and by insistence on getting his own way. Faulty
self-control can lead to ungovernable displays of anger.
