Adam Hagenbuch experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Adam Hagenbuch leads a life which is open to the outside world. His personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. He is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Adam Hagenbuch demonstrates great interest in the outside world, social affairs, and anything else that contributes to the growth and development of society as a whole. Clubs, organizations, and other forms of partnership attract his attention and motivate his behavior. He tries to protect himself from his subjectivity by adopting an impersonal approach to life. Devoted to the common cause, his destiny is no longer his alone. It is almost entirely controlled by the people whose cause he has espoused.

A struggle between two fundamentally opposite psychological tendencies is the salient feature of Adam Hagenbuch’s psyche. However, mental skills and an ability to adapt to the reality principle predominate, though they are subject to impulses from dynamic and emotional principles. Intuition and practicality make a harmonious combination, yielding unusually clear insights into reality and its limitations. The resulting behavior patterns are efficient and practical. However, Adam Hagenbuch may be a bit cautious and skeptical; his unwillingness to take risks may hold him back from gainful experiences, and he is only rarely eager to accept a challenge. Moreover, since his deepest emotions and feelings remain a mystery to him, his vision of the world is sometimes too rigid.

You are aware of a lack of confidence in yourself and in life. Prone to apathy, you may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which you may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, you were not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, you are unable to move yourself toward an improved, more positive disposition. You may reject any challenge that would enable you to surpass your current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of your problem, you may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to you, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.

Adam Hagenbuch struggles to understand the emotions of others, but this seeming lack of empathy is simply a reflection of his own difficulty in understanding his own feelings. He sees the emotional world as a foreign territory, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers, and becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, he might appear to be hard or aloof. He might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as he seeks out special individuals to bond with. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would have an easier time grappling with the emotions of others. He has a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. He might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although he offers conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure him out of his emotional bubble, he is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because his loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
