Alex Verdugo 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.

Alex Verdugo is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If he wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

Alex Verdugo feels attracted to interpersonal activities, but his significant need for inner security may stand in the way of his overtures to others. Since he is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with others. He unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself. Were he to evaluate his psychological development, he would place more value upon human warmth, intimacy, and the need to share than on intellectual understanding or personal freedom of expression.

Alex Verdugo is ambitious and has a natural tendency to better himself socially and intellectually. His ideas and aspirations are grandiose, and he will be eager to share them with others. Although he is kind-hearted, he enjoys being in control of situations. He derives great fulfillment from the role of the protector and will surround himself with people who need him. He is eager to obtain recognition and honor, but extremely fearful of disgrace. His visions derive from his ambitions, often aglow with idealism. However, they may be somewhat unrealistic and impractical. Social recognition and esteem are essential to him, and he will demonstrate an amazing ability to achieve the high goals he set for himself.

Alex Verdugo is a realist. He approaches life pragmatically and even his feelings are based on rational, tangible evidence. He bases his judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A hard worker, he takes pride in his own endeavors and has a personal concept of his productivity. His possessions help him assert himself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy him more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, he becomes attached to anything which offers him certainty.

You work hard to understand the feelings of others, but find it difficult to empathize. You are not insensitive, but find the emotional world hard to understand. You see the emotional world as a foreign territory, full of hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would only bring with it some unwanted drawbacks. As a result, you may come across as distant or unapproachable. You might find it difficult to form meaningful relationships, as you are drawn to special people who share your emotional needs. If you could accept and understand your own feelings, you would have a easier time understanding the feelings of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might find it difficult to see the emotional needs of others. You might even be the first to deny that such needs exist. This results in your dependency on others being unconscious. Because it is seen as a threat, it is repressed. In actuality, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the emotional world, because your loneliness and fear are so overwhelming.
