Alassane Ouattara 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.

Alassane Ouattara does not seek contact with others. He is reluctant to team up with other people in any way. He is an individualist who attempts to free himself from any outside influence. Often, due to his lack of perspective in relation to other people, he rebuffs their help and cooperation on projects. It is only by working and acting independently that he can accomplish his goals and ambitions.

Alassane Ouattara’s concern is his personal, subjective interest. Because the development of his personal identity requires great individual freedom of action, he tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations. Psychologically self-centered, he remains fairly detached from the social world. He reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. Individualistic and egocentric, he derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

You try hard to understand other people’s feelings, but you find it difficult to empathize with them. You know that you’re not insensitive, but you don’t understand your own emotions very well. You see the emotional world as a foreign place, full of hidden dangers. Becoming more familiar with it would likely be a bad idea- it would only add to your confusion. As a result, you might come off as cold or distant. You might have trouble establishing meaningful relationships, since you’re drawn to people who are different from you. If you could accept and understand your own emotions, you would be better equipped to handle the emotions of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might find it difficult to let others into your emotional world. You might also be the first to deny that others have real emotional needs. This can make you feel dependent and vulnerable, but it’s a defense mechanism that you use to protect yourself. As long as you keep your emotions hidden, you can avoid feeling too much pain.
