Amanda Steele experiences her inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by her involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Amanda Steele is an individualist who tends to be reluctant to team up with other people. She attempts to free herself from any outside influence and is eager to leave her personal imprint on the world around her. Often, due to her lack of perspective in relation to other people, she rebuffs their help and cooperation on projects.

Amanda Steele is a realist. She approaches life pragmatically and bases her judgements on past experience. She is skeptical and prone to skepticism. A hard worker, she takes pride in her own endeavors and has a personal concept of her productivity. Her possessions help her assert herself as an individual and act as an antidote to any feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may preoccupy her more than either love as a passion or intellectual or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, she becomes attached to anything which offers her certainty.

You are not insensitive, but you are baffled by your own emotions. You see the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, you may appear to be hard or aloof. You might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as you seek special individuals to bond with. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, you would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might have trouble seeing other people’s emotional needs. You might even be the first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. Because it is seen as such a threat, it is repressed. Actually, although you offer conscious resistance to anyone who tries to lure you out of your emotional bubble, you are always making timid, half-conscious forays into the world of feelings, because your loneliness and fear are so unbearable.
