Anthony Allen 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.

Anthony Allen tries to free himself from any outside influence; in fact, he is eager to leave his personal imprint on the world around him. 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.

Anthony Allen tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations so that he can develop his personal identity freely and openly. He is psychologically self-centered, and he reduces such commitments to the strict minimum. He is individualistic and egocentric, and he derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly.

Anthony Allen has a dynamic, mind-oriented personality. His attitudes in life are spontaneous and direct; usually, they enhance his personal aura. A fiery idealist, he has a tendency to approach life a bit too idealistically. He may go from disillusionment to disillusionment without ever reflecting on his ways. Once he investigates his deeper needs and the limitations imposed by reality, he can achieve true stability after much work.

Anthony Allen struggles to find a way to connect with the physical world and the limitations it places on him. He is idealistic and tends to be disconnected from practical considerations. He barely pays attention to material things like food, money, and his surroundings. He is footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until his lack of material resources becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead Anthony to see himself as unfit for this world. He may think he cannot attach himself to anything that would sustain his efforts at self-expression. However, his impractical nature offers many positive aspects. He sees life’s possibilities as limitless. He is apt to develop his imagination or pursue a spiritual quest to transcend the material world.

Anthony Allen works harder than others to understand other people’s feelings. But this seeming lack of empathy and compassion for others simply mirrors his own difficulty in understanding his own feelings and emotional needs. He is not insensitive, but he is baffled by his own emotions. He sees 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, he may appear to be hard or aloof. He might struggle to establish a rewarding relationship, as he seeks special individuals to bond with. If he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he would have an easier time grappling with other people’s feelings. 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.
