Some of the descriptions below are written in the third person, others- in the second; it is all about you.

General Characteristics

Aspiration + excitability + self-assertion
You are stubbornly defend your right for limitless use of the opportunities that present themselves to you, and are openly trying to get rid of the burden the existing connection with your partner and environment are to you.

Your Desired Objective
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.

Existing Situation
The fear of rebuff and the extreme caution of his approach make it difficult for him to achieve the degree of intimacy and identification he desires.

Your Restrained Characteristics
You feel obligated to compromise and put up with the joyless necessity of refusal. Your state, being joyless, is forced. The circumstances which are limiting and restraining your activity, define the necessity to temporarily give up some pleasures.

Your Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he normally imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticize his behavior with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.

Your Actual Problem
Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.
